A delightful day that was well organized. Wish that our guide would’ve shared more information and knowledge. Guide was very quiet and barely spoke. We did not see the church and gravesite promised in the tour description (it was not even mentioned) and we were dropped off in a town square to find our own lunch for 2 hours.
But tours were great, we were picked up on time, very clear communication before the day of, car was clean as promised.

Enjoyed our tour of the champagne region. We saw all the places on the itinerary that we really wanted to see. The timing of each stop was well done, and Alexander was an excellent driver. The only thing we were a little disappointed in was the choice of restaurants for lunch - we were dropped off between two Italian restaurants...in France? Probably our fault for not requesting a reservation somewhere. This didn't ruin our day and we would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys champagne and its history.

Overall this was a good trip although a touch pricey.
The itinerary was good and they delivered what was promised with the 9 tastings at the 3 establishments including Moet & Chandon. Transport was very comfortable in a Mercedes van.
A word about the driver/guide Vadim. An excellent driver who tried his best to accommodate us. Unfortunately, through no fault of his own, his command of English was limited to a handful of words. This took away from our enjoyment of the drive through the countryside as he was unable to explain anything to us. This was most disappointing especially since we had specified an English speaking driver/guide. It would be good if Clewel Tours paid more attention to details and did not take their customers for granted.

Cyrus from Clewel Travel took us to an amazing trip of the Champagne region of France. He took us to two family-owned wineries and one big commercial champagne producer. We loved the mellow, crisp, and exquisite champagne produced by the family-owned vineyards, particularly the brut made from Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and White Chardonnay. The rolling hills, idyllic valleys, pristine woodlands, quaint towns and villages of the Champagne countryside are spectacular sights and lovely with breathtaking views. It helps to have a guide like Cyrus who knows the good wineries in the region.
This trip was a break away from just another tourist spot that other tour companies takes you to. Cyrus also went over and beyond his services by taking me to a pharmacy to get covid test at Epernay, as my flight back to New York is for the following morning. I will most definitely use Clewel Travel for my future travels in France, and hopefully I will get Cyrus again for a guide.
