5.00RECOMMENDATION Isabelle is a super nice and knowledgeable guide with incredible knowledge about the area, the people and the Champagne business! We learned so much about Champagne during this 3,5h tour! Great tips for buying great Champagne from smaller producers different from the “big” names everyone knows. Good value - I strongly recommend this tour!
Wonderful tour for the area
