Incredible tour with Luiz!! We had a lovely time touring different champagne houses, and really getting to know the cultural significance of Champagne, as well as the process for creating it.

A really memorable tour. Luiz is amazing, genuine, fun and very knowledgeable. Perfect group size, we lucked out with 3 other couples our age (late 20s early 30s). Highly recommended!

Fantastic tour of Champagne. My husband and I enjoyed our day learning about and drinking the Champagne. I would highly recommend Luiz's tour. He was extremely knowledgable and a great guide. It was a day and money well spent for a memorable experience.

What a fun day! We did the Champagne day tour from Reims to Epernay. East TGV ride out in the morning from Gare De L'est. Louis was right there on time to pick up our group. First stop was the Cathedral in Reims, amazing history! Then off to our first Winery where we got to walk through some wine caves 30ft. underground and also learn about how Champagne is made and bottled. Fascinating process that I had no idea about. Then a great lunch at a local restaurant out in the country. Beautiful locale. Then on to Hautevilles and the final resting place of Dom Perignon (You will learn some interesting things about him on the trip, but no spoilers!). Then another tasting and ending at the Avenue de Champagne in Epernay. Louis is a charming host and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommended!

Today was a wonderful day spent with Luiz. He gave my wife and me a wonderful tour of the Champagne region. The food suggestions were excellent and his knowledge of Champagne and wine in general made our day absolutely fantastic. 5/5 would recommend and would do again.

Can't recommend this enough! Luiz is an incredible host who thoughtfully executed the tours. We got to meet and visit Champagne Houses that I would have otherwise not found on my own. Was a very special experience and hope to book another tour with Luiz the next time I'm in France!
