Champagne Day Trip with Moet&Chandon, Reims Cathedral & Family Winery from Paris

Bonjour Maria, In your review, you state that you liked our tour guide, Adrien, and even our guide in training, Victor, who accompanied you throughout the entire day trip to the Champagne region of France. You mention nothing negative about their driving skills, their knowledge of the Cathedral of Reims that they took you to, their knowledge of the vineyards that they walked you through, their knowledge of the Champagne making process, the history of Dom Perignon or the visit with them to his graveside. So, I can only assume that those parts of our day trip happened exactly as they were advertised to happen and were satisfactory to you. The tastings which were advertised: 3 different types of Champagne at a small Vineyard where you get to meet the winemaker himself and 1 Imperial Brut Champagne at the world-famous House of Moet and Chandon (not Moen as you wrote in your review) were also provided by our partners in Champagne, as promised on our website. So it appears that absolutely everything that we advertised on our website to give and do for you on the 12 hour day trip in the Champagne region was given to you and done with or for you that day. Yet you still think the tour should have been different or less expensive or more like a walking food tour that you did in Paris. Comparing a 2hour walking food tour to a 12-hour small-group day trip, by van, is like comparing apples to blue cheese. I also thought it was odd that you compared a wine tour that you did in Italy, in some unnamed wine region, to our tour in the Champagne region of France. Italy is Italy. France is France. Champagne is not made in Italy it is made in France. The economy and cost of living in Italy are not at all the same as the economy and the cost of living in France. As such the prices between the two countries for two completely different tours should not be compared. You are allowed to prefer the wine tour in Italy. That is totally fair. I prefer the pizza in Naples to the Zapiekanka in Warsaw. It is normal for people to have preferences and favourites. But what I think you ought not to do is to publically complain and say that the tour which you chose to book, knowing full well what it would entail, was expensive for what it entailed. I feel like your review is similar in nature to one that I once read about on a fancy hotel's review page. It said something like this: The 5-star hotel that I booked a room in and slept in was way too expensive for what I got out of it! Especially when I compare it to the comfy bed and great night that I had at the Motel 8 I stayed in last year in Wyoming. In the future, I encourage you to look at what the tour advertises as giving you and then look at its price. If you want to pay the price and do the advertised tour, that is your choice. If it is out of your budget, or the tour seems expensive for what it is offering you, then don't book it. I wish you many happy wine tours in many more countries in the future!
