What To Expect
Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims
Any tour of Reims must begin with the Notre Dame Cathedral. And for good reason, it is an architectural jewel, the beauty of which is acclaimed unanimously. Larger than Notre-Dame de Paris, it also has an exceptional statuary: 2,303 statues adorn its facades. Biblical scenes, a gallery of kings, a bestiary, gargoyles, so many stories to tell for the guides who bring you to discover it. Inside, another beauty awaits you, that of stained glass: the first big Rose, which has just been renovated, but also contemporary stained glass, in the works by Marc Chagall and Imi Knoebel, for a subtle blend of tradition and modernity, bathing the Cathedral with a unique light.

5.00This is a full day and most excellent. Check out the stained glass windows. The modern ones were blown out in WWI. The tour of Champagne region. The story of the limestone contribution is excellent. The tour ended in Hautvillers, the place where Dom Perignon lived and worked. He didn’t invent champagne, he improved the method. Brits were making sparkling wine at least 30 years earlier. But, it’s a good story.
Wonderful

5.00Guide was awesome. Only 5 of us and we really had fun. Deviated a bit and the 5 of us sat for lunch together. It was so nice to talk with others from different places.
A "Mummless" Tour

3.00Harry, our guide, was quite personable, energetic and enjoyable. However, we were surprised (and totally disappointed) when we did not tour the actual Maison Mumm Reims Cellars. The tour details stated, " . . . visit Mumm's Champagne cellars and learn about the harvesting and production process . . . ." If you are booking this adventure, simply be aware that (even though the tour mentions Mumm) you are not visiting the original Mumm Reims Cellars. We actually had a pleasant tour of just one of their 25 kilometers of small cellars (see photo) . . . Silly us, for ASSuming that we'd actually visit the historic bubbly site. Also be forewarned: Do not book your tour for a Sunday. Reims Cathedral is not fully accessible on days of worship. On a positive note: The visit to the Lighthouse of Verzenay was enjoyable, educational, and offered beautiful views of the many vineyards throughout the valley.
All parts were memorable...

4.00All parts were memorable and different. Enjoyed the Mumm tour and visit to lighthouse garden the most.
BE VERY CAREFUL they don’t answer phone.

1.00We are very disappointed in this tour operator. We were 15 minutes late due to road closures all over the city from the bike race and we tried calling the entire time we were driving, which was 45 minutes and no one answered the phone-We also tried to contact them via chat. By the time someone finally answered the phone, the bus had just left. No one tried to call us even though they had our phone number and no one answered the phone and when she finally picked up she said, very rudely she wouldn’t stop the bus and we can’t be reimbursed because its considered a no show but it was not our fault and no one answered-if they had, they would’ve known we were only five minutes away at that time. We left our hotel 45 minutes to drive a mile and all the road closures were causing us to have to turn around everywhere. They kept 374.44 for something that was beyond our control, we left in more than enough time to make it if the streets would’ve been open, so be VERY CAREFUL when you book this. We were even willing to meet the bus somewhere.
