“Great activity, wine was beautiful, sommelier (Melanie) was knowledgeable and the views up and down the Seine were stunning. All in all a perfect evening. The reviews on here had me worried at first as it was suggested it was really difficult to find and a stressful experience. We did not find this to be the case, we found the booth for our wine tickets no problem. Go down the stairs in front of the Eiffel tower and you will find the pop up stand in front of the boat. No stress at all!”

8.Champagne Day Tour with Reims, Cellars Visit & Champagne Tasting from Paris

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 28 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $204

Spend about 11 hours exploring Reims and the Champagne countryside with an English-speaking driver-guide. Visit Reims Cathedral, tour a Champagne cellar, taste three glasses, climb Verzenay Lighthouse, and see Hautvillers, associated with Dom Pérignon. Small groups may run, but the maximum is 55.

“We booked this tour because the excellent itinerary was just what we wanted. We were primarily interested in the Reims Cathedral and the tour description promised a guided tour of this landmark. We have more an interest in the champagne and wine making process than actually in the champagne so one cellar visit and the museum at Vernezay was perfect for us. As it turned out, the guide was terrible. We drove to Hauvillers, our first stop - more than 1 hour from Paris - without the guide saying one word literally. We had to ask him his name when we arrived at the village. He gave no commentary the…”

9.Full-Day Champagne Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 23 reviews · 11 hours · from $311

Spend 11 hours exploring Champagne from Paris in a small group of up to eight. Visit a major house such as Moët & Chandon or Mercier, see Dom Pérignon’s tomb in Hautvillers, and taste at a family producer. Lunch is on your own.

“Would NOT recommend this tour. Not worth the money AT ALL! I have been on several wine tasting trips around the world and this one was pathetic. 1. We were crammed into a van basically sitting on each other’s laps - very uncomfortable transportation 2. Cellar #1 we could not go in the cellar because it was “under construction” only allowed to taste 2 champagnes. What a disappointment! 3. Cellar #2 we got a trainee guide who had no idea what she was doing. Very frustrating as this was my first experience in champagne Definitely NOT worth over $500 for 2 people. You maybe got 1.5 glasses of champagne each.…”

11.Champagne Tour from Paris by minivan with Reims Cellars & Champagne Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $227

Leave central Paris in a small, air-conditioned minivan for Reims and the Champagne countryside. Visit Notre-Dame Cathedral, tour G.H. Martel cellars, taste Champagne, see the vineyards from Verzenay Lighthouse, and visit Hautvillers with guides such as Serge or Roland.

“Honestly, as someone who is super social I love doing stuff like this on my own when you can expect fun drinking and meet new people, however this was not the experience of this, the title was deceiving. For starters it wasn’t clear where to meet and the facilitator was about 15 minutes late which was annoying. The man who was leading it wasn’t French but man did he want to pretend like he was one of them with an angsty attitude. It was not welcoming. But overall the worst part, was you literally get 3 tiny tastes of champagne for a 6 hour tour and it just isn’t worth…”

“Driver did not know what he was doing,and. We ended up seeing nothing. We missed the Eiffel Tower lighting at 10pm because he did not know where to park. He was also a terrible driver. There were 4 of us to attest to this. The owner of Pinky Tours offered me a discount if I cancelled Viator and booked directly with him.Pi have his email and think this was very unethical. I have been dealing with Viator for many years, but this was bad!!!! I would like a refund. Thanks Marianne Segal”

13.Prestige Champagne Tour and Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 8 reviews · 11 hours

Travel from Paris with a private driver and wine guide, visit a major Champagne house such as Ruinart, Bollinger, Moët & Chandon, or Veuve Clicquot, then tour a boutique producer and enjoy a three-course Michelin-star lunch. Joel is one named guide associated with the experience.

“Our driver Joel was amazing! Although we enjoyed the two chamoagne wineries, the tastings were a bit lacking at Boizel. At Boizel there was a baby on the tour detracting from the experience. The lunch was definitely not as expected... - There was no view. We were in Champagne region and the windows were to a blocked garden patio - The food was okay - Wine not noteworthy - There were fruit flies that landed in our food and wine - Service bland - Overall there must be better options. We had been to a Michelin Star restaurant in Paris that was phenomenal so this experience really disappointed.”

15.Full-Day Private Champagne Tasting in Reims and its Vineyards

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $718

Spend 10 hours with a private guide exploring Reims, its coronation cathedral, two Champagne houses, and Mailly-Champagne vineyards. The tour includes return TGV tickets, six tastings, lunch, and a private driver. Expect 100 cellar steps without an elevator.

“I would never do this tour again or recommend to anyone. It was a total rip off. They didn’t have the tour planned out correct for the amount of time and the place they picked for lunch was a golf club restaurant. Not something I would want traveling all day to Champagne region for. Do not go on this tour. It’s a waste of money and time”
