Perfect day out in champagne country - What a fantastic tour! Riding the electric bikes through the vineyards and nearby villages was amazing. Beautiful and also fascinating - it gave great context to the champagne making process. Baptiste was an excellent guide. The group was great - perfect size - and the lunch and champagne tasting were delicious (and such a pretty venue). A perfect day!

Great - Great experience. Great guide, good directions and contact. Champagne lunch at end was really delicious as well. Highly recommended. Only comment would be to give us intersection of streets where to meet rather than a street number as it was tough in google maps. But they were super helpful over the phone and we met up in short time.

One of the best days of our trip... - Our day with Thomas was a highlight of our trip to Epernay. Thomas was so knowledgable and the ride through the region was stunning. Lunch afterwards was absolutely delicious and we tasted 3 champagnes, a red wine and a liquer and toured the caves where some were made. We expected that we would cycle to different houses for tastings along the way and I was a bit nervous about how that would go, but the tastings were all at the end, after we finished biking through vineyards and small villages. It was a perfect day and I highly recommend this tour.

Best tour ever! - Thomas was so great! He’s so kind, funny and his relaxed demeanor made it very fun and relaxing to ride the e bikes throughout the vineyards. He went out of his way to call the company and allow me to join that day when something went wrong with my ticket. Thomas was awesome, the bike ride was SO fun and gorgeous and the mean was absolutely delicious! Everyone there was really nice and great, as well! This tour made me want to do a bike ride everywhere I travel now if possible. I will definitely be coming back again and bringing my family here :)

One of the best days! - Everything about this day was wonderful! Batiste picked us up in his van and took us to a winery where we were given our bikes and had a quick practice before riding off into the vineyards of the greater Epernay area. The riding was easy thanks to the electric bikes, the views were absolutely stunning the entire ride, we stopped every now and then for Batiste to explain something about grape-growing or something about the area (including the church, the vineyards and the grave of Dom Perignon). After a couple of hours of riding, we returned to the winery where we had a glass of champagne and a tour of the cellars, including a detailed explanation of the wine-making process. After this, we had yet more champagne and wine to try (I think 4 glasses in all), together with the most amazing 3-course lunch. I would thoroughly recommend this tour, and thank Batiste for making it an enjoyable and memorable day.
