10/10! Definitely recommend doing the virtual tasting tour with Tom, who did a wonderful job creating an immersive experience online. He is highly knowledgable and passionate when it comes to all things champagne and not to mention, he's easy on the eyes. Can't wait to do a tour with A la Francaise again in the future :)

***DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE*** TERRIBLE customer service. Have contacted them before the Covid pandemic asking for a refund. Did not receive it. Then Covid hit - asked MANY times via email for a refund. This trip was for 4 adults - for a cost of 476Euros. There have been so many emails - and they keep saying that a refund is in the works. First they said immediately, then they said 6 months. I cannot recommend this tour operator due to this blatant disrespect of their customers. I need these funds back. I was out of work for more than 8 months - and this is really unacceptable.

Martin Luther is NOT the same historical figure as MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Germany is not the same nation as the US. Martin Luther was the great GERMAN reformer of the 1500s. Martin Luther King Jr. was the great civil rights American reformer of the 1960s. I keep trying to help this organization, but they don't seem to worry about trivia like historical facts.

We went september 2020 to the area of Champagne. It was an INCREDIBLE journey to never forget! #makememories Stéphane was our private tourguide for 3 days. He’s a very nice guy and could tell us everything about the area and about the process of making champagne. He also knows very good local restaurants. Stéphane arranged a perfect planning based on our wishes. That’s exactly why i loved him as our tourguide. I definitly recommend to book a tour at ‘tours in champagne’!

Had to find alternative ways of getting to Paris from London due to a BA pilot strike and settled on the Eurostar. Glad we did because after 14 hours flying it was a welcome break. Bought business class travel and it was very much like an airline in terms of food drink but scenery was much better and much more room to move / no seatbelts was a dream.

I had a wonderful experience with my pick up driver Dimuth Maduranga Veera Prathiraje. He and the company were super responsive, responsible, and helpful. My flight landed 1 hour early at CDG, so I had to contact them if it is possible to pick me up earlier than the time I scheduled. They replied me almost immediately and told me my driver was on his way and will be there in 20mins. The pick up process is very smooth. Dimuth was super nice and helped me with my heavy luggages both during pick up and drop off. The car was very clean and with hand sanitizers. I certainly will use your service again!
