      The prefect day!
      What an unforgettable experience!! I have dreamed of visiting the Champagne region for years! This tour did not disappoint and exceeded all of my expectations! Our tour guide, Ana (sp?) was the best! She was extremely knowledgeable of the entire region, friendly, and funny! We were able to visit three different Champagne houses (all varying in production, styles, and sizes), the church where Dom Perignon is buried, drive down Champagne avenue, had an amazing lunch in Epernay, and she made sure to stop and find an incredible view of the vineyards. I cannot recommend this tour enough! We visited from Paris and the train instructions were very clear and easy to follow. We would love to do this tour in future!

      Great tour with knowledgeable tour guide
      We were 8 people, so we were the entire small group. Our tour guide was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and helped us understand the region and champagne. The champagne was delicious, and they offered us about 4-5 glasses per stop, with some snacks. The tour bus was spacious and the countryside is beautiful. I would definitely recommend this tour!

      Spectacular day tour!
      We had the most amazing day visiting 2 smaller champagne houses and 1 large house. We learned so much and asked countless questions that Bastise, our guide, was able to answer! Bastise was friendly, well informed and incredibly kind. Highly recommend booking this tour!

      Fantastic Experience and Staff
      Wonderful company that included great tours (Alex was a terrific guide) , tastings, and scenery. We enjoyed getting to see smaller vineyards we would not have had access to otherwise and the lunch they arranged was superb. Afterward, Valentin was so responsive and kind, helping us source Champagne from several different houses, some of which weren’t included in our tour. The staff and this experience were both A+ level! Highly recommend.

      The tour was so well done, and that is due in large part to Ana! She was warm, incredibly knowledgeable, and hilarious. The wine tastings were fantastic and the lunch as well. Definitely recommend!

      Champagne All Day - Reims
      This was a fantastic champagne tour. Ana was our guide and she was wonderful, she provided a detailed background on the area and all aspects related to Champagne. We visited 3 different Champagne Boutique Houses and had an amazing lunch at the restaurant ‘Why Not’. There were 6 of us in total and it was a very comfortable ride through the region. I would highly recommend this tour, it was a great experience.

      An excellent experience! We did a 1/2 day group tour and full day private tour with Christophe and enjoyed it very much. We liked the small family owned growers the most

      Thank you Batiste - Best part of France!
      This small group tour was amazing! Big shout out to our guide Batiste. He was very knowledgeable on the champagne making process and the whole area. He gave us a lot of information on the history or the area, being that he is from there it came easy to him. You can really tell these people love their work! The 3 wineries we visited were all gorgeous. Small champagne houses with big taste! Batiste was a great guide, driver, teacher and extremely personable. At the end of our day trip he even gave us a recommendations list for other restaurants, bars and things to do and see in the area. Also, there is an option at the end to have Sparkling Tours ship some of these exclusive, small house champagne home to you. Highly recommend doing this too! This day trip was the best part of our entire trip to France! I would definitely recommend this tour and highly suggested seeing the smaller houses as it is a great comparison to the large, well know ones.

      The only way to see Champagne!
      We just returned from Reims where we did a full day tour with Valentin/ Sparkling Tour. He did a wonderful job customizing a full day and one special evening for us. His knowledge of the region, the grapes and the process was superb. We learned so much about champagne making. He took us to large champagne houses as well as the small ones which we really enjoyed. This is the way to go and the full day tour makes it so easy to personalize for your group. This is the way to see Champagne! Jill Lombardi Greenwich, CT

    My dad and I were looking to take a day trip from Paris and after looking over many different tours/companies I decided on booking with Sparkling Tours. The half day tour allowed us to maximize our time in the champagne region.

    Valentin was a fantastic, comprehensive guide. He picked us up right outside the train station and off we went. We went to two of the smaller producers, tried fantastic champagne, and bought several bottles to take home. Being from the US, we never would've known about these producers if it wasn't for this tour.

    Valentin also took the time to answer our many, many questions and never rushed us through the tours or tastings. Even though it's the off season right now, Valentin did a phenomenal job making sure we didn't feel like we were missing out on any of the magic of peak season.

    The website is also very user friendly and easy to book from. We took a tour at a big champagne house separately from this and it felt like a waste of time compared to the experience we had with Sparkling Tour. I would highly recommend anyone looking to go to Reims to find time to take this tour. I know if I go back, I'll be definitely be doing the full day tour!

    We had a great time with Christof yesterday on our tour. He was very kind, and did not rush us on any of our stops. He is from the area, and was very knowledgeable of the region. We had about 6 glasses of champagne (much larger than a standard wine tasting size). He stopped at various view points for lots of photo taking. We went in the caves , and also through the hautvillers village. We had just come from a large house tour and the quality of this champagne was just as good, if not better. I recommend bringing lunch to eat along the way, but christof was kind enough to stop for pastries for others in our group. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!

    I wanted to go on a tour of the Champagne region and learn about how champagne is made, visit some smaller producers and sample some champagnes. We all know the big labels but the tours they seemed to be offering were priced on how many glasses of champagne you wanted to try and what quality/price. I didn’t want to watch a video of how it’s made. That’s what YouTube is for!
    Sparkling Tours is (to my mind), a perfect experience. Our tour guide, Christophe was incredibly knowledgeable and has lived in Epernay all his life so was able to give us so much history and detail on our trip, he was fabulous and drove us around the area, to the best spots, to small producers where we were offered a wide selection to try as well as giving us lots of history about champagne making.
    This tour is well worth it and highly recommended. Christophe is a fabulous host and drove us around the area in a comfortable minibus, and delivered us back to Reims. Booking was easy and communication and we booked the night before, but received a response within minutes.
    We have come away from this tour feeling like we had a fab experience and have learned so much!

    The tour guide was really nice and made the trip very enjoyable, I would definitely recommend this to other people. We visited 2 small producers, had 6 glasses of champagne and was even able to purchase one. The trip was amazing and made our experience in Reims.

    This was a great tour with a very personalized feel. Ana, our guide, picked us up at the train station in Reims and took us to several places in the gorgeous rolling hills of the Champagne region beginning in Champillon at the Champagne Gisèle DEVAVRY.

    Ana was very well versed in the champagne making process offering very detailed information of the various steps. She did a great job explaining the grape varieties and was very knowledgeable in the plots. The cellars of this and the Michel Fagot facility we later toured can't be described in pictures.

    After several samples and a purchase, we were taken Église Abbatiale which is a 16th century church that also houses the tomb of Dom Perignon. We then moved on to tour the Michel Fagot facility.

    I'm not a regular champagne drinker but the aging and details behind its making requires significant patience. It was a great educational experience and is highly recommended.

    A wonderful half day tour with Valentin. He was funny, kind and he explains the production of champagne very simply, vividly and to the point. We got to drink 2 smaller producers but just as good as the 'big ones'. 10/10 would take that tour again.

    An entertaining and informative morning in the Champagne countryside. Our group of 8 from England, Australia, Latin American and US were fun and the tour itself a great balance of experiences, tastings and teaching by Anna, our excellent guide. The small producer format makes for a special and intimate feel. At the second stop they had just started the 2023 harvest and we watched them press Chardonnay grapes. The owner brought us the just pressed juice to taste. Anna conducted the tour with, knowledge, humor and elegance. Highly recommend.

    A wonderful half day tour with Valentin for a group of 6 people. Valentin was an excellent host, with strong knowledge and enthusiasm for his products. We found the tours to be both educational and informative and left us with a better appreciation of the region, how champagnes are produced and the work that goes on behind the scenes to bring one of our favourite drinks to us, wherever in the world we are,

    The tour bus, was an exceptionally comfortable Mercedes van and we were kept toast warm on a -2 degree day in Reims!

    Highly recommend this tour as it is excellent value particularly if you book direct via the website and not via a third party. Communications are prompt and easy to understand. We will certainly be back for our trip next year, but on a much bigger scale :)

    Booked this tour because we had limited time in Paris and had not been out to champagne region before. Booked on company website. Took morning train from Paris to Reims. Could contact company easily. Six people in our group. Easy location to find Our host Anna had a great humour and full of information. The tour is short and will leave you wanting more. This tour and a self visit to larger champagne houses would be ideal. Six champagnes tastes. One independent vigneron from Cumieres which also do the red wine of the region, (not for tasting) and one from Rilly la Montagne. Highly recommend. Back by train to Paris by 3pm. There is no food on this tour, not expecting it either and champagne is typically drunk without but highly recommend eating breakfast.

    My dad and I had the pleasure of having Ana as our guide in May 2023 for the half day tour. She took our group to two champagne houses where we had 3 tastings each. She was a great guide and was very knowledgeable about the area and the houses. I highly recommend this tour if you are short on time and have a desire to see the Champagne region.
