I have dreamed about touring Champagne France and wanted to make sure I got it right. It was 4 of us total. We were picked up at our hotel in Paris around 7:30am and then it is about and hour and 1/2 ride to the region. We were in a Mercedes sprinter which was nice. Note: the 2nd row faces backwards in case you get car sick riding backwards, 3rd row faces front. Our driver and guide spoke limited English, so this is definitely not a guided tour, but our guide was amazing keeping us on time for our tastings especially later during the day as the tastings started kicking in and trying to keep the fun on track! She was so sweet. We started at Dom Perignon and Moet and Chandon and did a high end tasting there. No tour of the grounds. We then went to a smaller champagne house, and then went to lunch in Reims, all set up by them. Next we went to Pommery house and then ended with Vueve Clicquot which was by far my favorite! So 4 champagne houses and tastings and lunch. The tours were amazing and very informative and better than I thought it would be. We ended around 5:30 and I imagine they would have driven us back to Paris, but we had booked an Airbnb for the night in the center of Reims and did dinner and brunch the next day there and decided to not rush the day. I highly recommend this tour, they took very good care of us and it was an amazing experience.

This tour was exactly what we were hoping for and more! We aren’t easily impressed, having traveled the world, but this company went above and beyond. One of our group members had a temporary physical disability, which could have made things complicated, but the team handled it flawlessly. From the start, communication was seamless, and the tour was tailored perfectly to our needs. My dad excitedly said, ‘Surprise us!’ and they did just that. Valerie arranged a unique champagne tasting and even a dramatic bottle-opening ceremony with a special knife – an incredible spectacle that was well worth the extra cost! Our guide, Emily, was fantastic. She took great care of us and shared so much knowledge along the way, helping us fall in love with the region. The driver (we couldn’t quite catch his name) was also wonderful, offering us drinks and friendly service. We upgraded our ride to a luxurious minivan equipped with karaoke and PlayStation – the ride back was a blast! This was by far the best day of our trip to France. We will DEFINITELY recommend this company for their outstanding service and care. When we return to Europe, Tour Up in Europe will be our first choice!
