Ellen, the reviewer below, is right. I can’t speak to the cancellation part, but I was definitely told that we were REQUIRED to upgrade in order to reserve our tours. I booked this experience weeks prior, but Cyrus (who reached out to me) messaged me a few days before and said that we had to do the upgraded experience. This was for Moët and Veuve. He was quite stern during our communication and he tried to say that the price changed because I changed the date. Again, I booked the date weeks prior to the experience so I’m certain that luxe tastings were not the only tastings offered when I booked. Our driver was absolutely amazing tho! He was friendly, prompt and made us reservations at the very delicious Chez Max restaurant! This is the only reason that I’m giving a 2 instead of a 1. Shame on you, Cyrus!

If you are looking for a private chauffeur, in a nice car to take you to 2 major champagne houses- 1 each in Epernay & Reims then this is for you. We loved going to Moet and Veuve- the other 2 houses were bonuses in each city. Our chauffeur spoke very little English so no touring from him. He got us to each site and told us when we needed to be back. The tours are at the champagne houses themselves, which were fantastic. We found that only having an hour or so at each house was a bit tight to actually complete the tour and tasting so you have to watch the time closely to be able to enjoy the tastings at the end of the tours.

DO NOT TRUST THEM! THEY CANCELLED US THE NIGHT BEFORE. Having prepaid this champagne tour many weeks before our trip to Paris this company cancelled us the night before. They tried to extort more money than the $1200 we had paid them saying they had not booked some of the wineries and we now had to upgrade to VIP tours for another $200 more. When we balked and called La Vacanza Travel to intercede (we booked thru them), crewel cancelled us. This company is dishonest. do not use them and do not trust them.

We went to 4 champagne houses, cathedral of Anitra Dame Reims, and had lunch. All wonderful. A bit rushed to fit it all in, but wonderful. Our driver was very professional.

Our driver picked us up 20 minutes late. There were no other passengers. Our 1st stop at a small private vineyard. We were told we only had 15 minutes to look around because we were late. Then our driver changed the order of our next few stops. We were dropped off early for lunch at 11:30. There was only 1 restaurant open. Our driver gave us exactly 1 hour. We were dropped off at Moët Chandon on time and had a lovely tour and tasting. When we met up with the driver he said we would miss part of our next stop at Veuve Clicquot. Pommery was disappointing. We were not happy.
