The cellers were very interesting and the guide was extremely informative. While this worth a visit, we enjoyed other visits slightly better._

We arrived after a tour had started but were still, kindly, allowed join. We did however miss the short film which we did not know until afterwards. The tour itself was quite interesting, as the caves/cellars are deep and as they are chalk,and an old monastery. They were quite unique. However, the tour was less than 20 mins and was... More

Testing champagne, champagne, champagne (one better than the other) after a guided tour ... Have had space in the trunk of our limousine for just one carton with six bottles - what a pity. So we definitely need to return another day!!!

My husband and I took this tour in November 2012. Booking was very easy. We made an appointment in person, went to lunch and came back in time for our tour. The group was pretty small, about 8 of us, all couples. The first part of the tour is a video and they have a special room with theater seating.... More

This champagne house is located in the place where a monastery stood from the 13th century, till the Frech Revolution, when it was demolished. Only a small building remained from the monastery times, and the caves. But the caves are much older, in fact they exist from the 4th century, when they were used as a stone quarry. The caves...

We had a most enjoyable and educational tour of the caves. Not only did we learn a great deal about how champagne is created, but we were blessed to walk through such special places as 12th century monastery arches and 4th century Roman mines while we learned.

Les Caves de Taittinger in Reims are unique in that they are chalk and quite extensive. These were old Roman cellars that are used to store Champagne and the chalk ensures a level of humidity and the depth a fairly constant temperature for Champagne to age in the bottles. It was 16 Euros per person and that included one tasting.... More

My expectations for this tour were pretty low once I saw the size of the group. But our guide was very professional and while it wasn't the most amazing experience it was slick and well done for the number of people they are dealing with. The explanation of the process by our guide was clear and her knowledge of the... More

The tour was very disappointing - too big a tour group, too expensive for what you got out of it, when it has all the potential to be excellent. The cellars are very interesting and historic but the fact that the guided visit was functional and unengaging was dampened further by having to rush down our tasting as we were... More

Enjoyed a great tour (in English) with out two teenaged children. 16.50 euro per adult. The children were gratis. Drive into the gated area and park inside! We called a week ahead of time to confirm the time of the English tour. I'm glad we did. No reservations are taken. The tour was at 10:30 on the Friday before Easter.... More
