Our guide was very good! Funny and knowledgeable. The champagne houses were very hospitable, and the champagne was great. The views of the countryside are also beautiful. It is a long day about 10 to 12 hours.

Our tour with Sebastián was an unforgettable experience, filled with history, magic, and fun. From start to finish, Sebastián proved to be an exceptional guide, providing us with not only interesting and entertaining insights about the region, but also a personalized and warm service. The tour was unique, taking us to iconic locations like the Dom Pérignon Monastery and the majestic Notre-Dame Cathedral. Even on a rainy day, we felt incredibly safe thanks to his professionalism and knowledge. To top it all off, the day ended with a magical private blind tasting at one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in the Champagne region. If you're looking for a tour that combines history, charm, and top-tier service, Sebastián is the perfect guide!
