Reviews
Our guide was pleasant, informative and quick to respond to questions that we had. Because of weather conditions we had to make adjustments and we were asked what our preferences were. Loved the flexibility and guide’s willingness to get us to our other choices. Will definitely choose Ophorus again.
We had a lovely time with Thierry our tour guide. We visited the castle and he explained a lot of its history. The towns we visited were beautiful. I’ll recommend this your a 100% 🤩🤩🤩 And a big hurra 🙌 for Thierry for being such a nice and educated man
Great day tour of St Emilion. Rodolphe was a very good guide, sharing lots of knowledge and experience. The choice of Chateau and tastings was excellent. Well paced day with plenty of time at Chateau and to enjoy the village of St Emilion. Recommended.
