Great tour with Phillipe in a group of seven. We were impressed by his knowledge of the champagne region and his flexibility.

Let me start by saying I have the great fortune to travel the world quite a bit and have booked a number of tour guides over the years.
Philippe, owner of Best of France Tours, is the best guide I've ever worked with (and he's an amazing human as well!). From the moment I inquired about a tour of the Champagne region in France up to and through our entire day together, he thought of every detail. He was extremely responsive and really listened to what I wanted in a tour. Philippe curated visits to three small Champagne houses and I gained such an incredible education from Philippe (even before we arrived) which helped to set a great foundation for the day. We also enjoyed a fabulous lunch in a local village. He helped to keep us on track since we chose to fit so much into one day. He also provided such great history of Paris and the region - so knowledgeable about the history as well as current events. It was truly a fascinating and memorable day and I will for sure book another tour with Philippe the next time I'm in France! Merci Philippe!

We spent the day touring the Champagne region with Frederic. He was an excellent guide and took the time to make sure we thoroughly enjoyed the day. We spent the morning at Veuve-Clicquot and the afternoon at Mason Penet-Chardonnet. We had lunch in Reims and toured the Reims Cathedral. The day was fantastic and we would recommend it to anyone!

This tour was recommended by a close friend with very high standards and it met all my expectations.too. We were led by Frederic who was prompt to pick us up, choose three small growers for us as my friend said they were a lot more "interesting" and personable. We were not let down by the quality of the locations, the tastings, the knowledge of Frederic and the experience. Best Of France Tours made the experience worth every moment and every dollar as an experience of a lifetime. We were all very pleased. This was a 5 star day. Merci, Frederic. Jon

Great driver, nice tours, lunch was only so-so and my special dietary request for one member of our party was not provided or available at the restaurant.

Frederic made our day in Champagne absolutely perfect. He arranged for us to tour one large Champagne House, along with two smaller Houses, that we would never have known about. He also directed us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch. I have limited mobility needs and he went out of his way to make the trip manageable for me. This attention to detail is so valuable and appreciated! He also easily engaged with my young adult children and was knowledgeable in pretty much everything! My kids words “hands down the best tour guide we’ve ever had.” Highly highly recommend!

An absolutely incredible experience! Our guide, Philip, was kind, pleasant, and knowledgeable. He was very thoughtful about choosing which champagne houses we toured, and it was so fun to learn about the region and French history from him. Hotel pick up and drop off made the trip convenient and easy, and the car was spacious & comfortable. Overall the tour was fun, enjoyable, interesting, and well organized. I would recommend this tour to anyone!

We had an amazing day with Phillipe. He was very personable, professional and knowledgeable. His van was very comfortable and clean. A big plus in our book. Phillipe goes out of his way to make your trip “ your own”. If your looking for a fabulous day Phillipe will make it happen!

We had a wonderful day exploring the Champagne region with Frederic Meunier as our guide. His English was excellent! He was knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting information about the region and the champagne houses we visited. Frederic took us to a local restaurant which was very enjoyable, and the food was terrific. It was a day to remember!

Frederic was our guide. His English is very good, he was personable and was very knowledgeable about Paris and the surrounding region. We visited Veuve Clicquot, then on his suggestion made a stop at Notre Dame in Reims which is fabulous. He then took us to a quaint village, after passing through beautiful vineyards, for a delicious lunch at a local cafe. We then stopped at a boutique champagne house in a delightful village to sample more wonderful champagne. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour of the region!
