    Asked on September 17th, 2024

    would it be possible to travel to the nearby Champagne region and tour some Champagne houses?

    Tour Details
    • TrafalgarOperator•Written September 2024

      On this trip for day 3, it's dedicated to optional experiences. If you wish to have your activity like a visit to a champagne region and champagne houses, that's possible, but you have to arrange your own, and it's going to be at your own expense since this is not part of the experience. Additionally, you have to inform your travel director of your plan at the start of your trip.

    • J

      Joe

      Traveler•Written September 2024

      it says the trip accommodates up to 50 people. How does it work - are we divided into smaller groups?? I usually go on much smaller group tours with a more manageable number of travelers...

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written September 2024

      You will remain as one group throughout this classic tour. All travelers will stay together in a single motorcoach for the entire trip. Rest assured; our expert travel directors are well-equipped to handle groups of this size.
