Loved our second time with Best of France Tours even more than the first!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Experience with Philippe and Best of France Tours! If you are planning a trip to France, look no further than Philippe and Best of France Tours! What sets them apart is not simply their knowledge of France or their ability to plan an incredible itinerary—it is the extraordinary level of personalization, attention to detail, and genuine care they bring to every aspect of your experience. From the very beginning, Philippe took the time to understand what mattered most to us, creating a trip that felt uniquely ours rather than a standard itinerary. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, and the result was an experience that exceeded our expectations. As someone who is passionate about food and wine, I especially appreciated how Philippe embraced those interests and made them such a memorable part of our journey. He went above and beyond to introduce us to hidden gems, exceptional culinary experiences, and wonderful wines that we might never have discovered on our own. These weren’t simply stops on an itinerary—they were thoughtfully chosen experiences that reflected what we love and consistently exceeded our expectations. What truly makes Philippe exceptional is his commitment to going above and beyond. He doesn’t simply arrange tours and experiences—he genuinely cares about making your trip extraordinary. His personal touch, flexibility, responsiveness, and passion for sharing the very best of France make all the difference. Our time in Paris, Champagne, Normandy, and beyond was filled with unforgettable moments. What made the experience even more special was knowing that every detail had been considered and that Philippe was always looking for ways to make an already wonderful trip even better. There is a difference between visiting France and truly experiencing the best of France. Philippe makes that difference. We returned home with incredible memories, a deeper appreciation for French culture, food, and wine, and immense gratitude for the care that went into making our trip so special. Merci beaucoup, Philippe! You didn’t just plan a vacation—you created an experience we will treasure forever. We cannot recommend Best of France Tours highly enough, and we would absolutely trust Philippe with our next French adventure!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Perfect Day in Champagne with Philippe
My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Best of France Tours on a Champagne Region day trip from Paris. Philippe, the owner, picked us up directly from our hotel in Paris in his clean and comfortable Mercedes van. Throughout the day, he provided complimentary water, great conversation, and shared his extensive knowledge of the Champagne region, its history, and the champagne-making process. We visited two outstanding small champagne producers, where we enjoyed private tours, learned about the production methods, and, of course, sampled some exceptional champagne. One of the highlights of the day was a delightful lunch at a charming French restaurant in Bouzy, which perfectly complemented the overall experience. The tour was informative, relaxed, and extremely well organized. Philippe was an excellent host and guide, and his passion for the region was evident throughout the day. I highly recommend Best of France Tours to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Champagne Region experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Janet & Hank : Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience. Your kind words mean a great deal to me. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with both of you in the Champagne region. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations, and I am delighted to know that you appreciated the visits to the family-run champagne houses, the tastings, and our lunch in Bouzy. Sharing the history, traditions, and passion behind Champagne with guests who are so genuinely interested always makes the experience especially enjoyable. I also want to thank you for your kindness and wonderful company throughout the day. Hosting guests like you is one of the reasons I love what I do, and I can honestly say that I had a great time as well. Thank you again for choosing Best of France Tours. I hope the memories—and perhaps a few bottles of Champagne—will bring back happy thoughts of your time in France for years to come. Warmest regards, Philippe Best of France Tours

The Best Day
This was the perfect day trip from Paris and we had a fabulous time. Our guide, Philippe, was wonderful and had the perfect amount of historical knowledge to add to our champagne tours. We will absolutely be back to book some of the other tours with him
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review. I am truly happy that you had such a wonderful day in the Champagne region. It is always very special for me to share this area with guests, especially because I originally come from there and grew up surrounded by its history, landscapes, and Champagne culture. I would be very happy to welcome you back for another tour during your next trip to Paris! Warm regards, Philippe

Best Tour Ever!!
Phil is 10/10. He is knowledgeable and professional. Thank you so much Phil for an unbelievable experience we will cherish for a lifetime! We cannot wait to come back to experience your Normandy Tour!!
Response from the operator: Dear Alexa, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It was truly a pleasure spending the day with you, and I am so happy to know that the experience created such special memories for you. Comments like yours mean a great deal to me. I would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for a tour of Normandy next time — it would be a real pleasure to show you another beautiful part of France. Until then, thank you again for your trust and kindness! Warm regards, Philippe

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris cost?
+
Prices start at €180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 75 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris?
+
Around 26 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Champagne Region Private Day Trip from Paris?

Not included: Entrance/tasting fees at each Champagne house are NOT included ask us for the rates; Food and drinks are not included; Gratuities appreciated; and Tour inside the cellars given by a local guide (your driver-guide does no go with you insi.
