Reviews for Ophorus

We absolutely loved this tour! Our guide Mirela was perhaps the most knowledgeable person about wine we have ever meet. On our way to St. Emilion she gave us the history of winemaking in the region and the types of chateau we would be visiting. Each chateau had a different characteristic of wine they produced and had a tasting of these at our visits. Then we went to St. Emilion that is a beautiful little medieval town where we had free time for lunch and some exploring. Overall it was a wonderful day with a pace that was perfect. We would highly recommend this tour.

Amazing place to visit with an excellent driver,

Well organised and prompt. Valentin was an excellent driver and gave a good commentary en route to amont St Michel. There was just the right amount of time to explore the abbey and walk both there and back. Having prepaid tickets made it easier (though that maybe easy to organise online 🤷‍♀️). The abbey is well worth a visit, both architecturally interesting and has amazing views. Would be happy to use Ophorus again.

Our favorite tour we did...

Our favorite tour we did while in Strasbourg! The guide was super knowledgeable about both wine and the region generally. Was just expecting to be totally wine focused but she pointed out things on the drive out to the wineries and answered a lot of questions about the history of the towns and families involved which was all an added bonus. Also obviously the wine is great!

Ótima maneira de conhecer a região

Passeio incrível pelas vilas da Alsácia, com degustação de vinhos no caminho. Um excelente modo de conhecer alguma das vilas mais bonitas da França. Nossa guia, Myriam, foi muito simpática e nos trouxe explicações sobre a região, as vilas, os vinhos e as vinícolas. É um passeio que vale muito a pena, ficamos com a impressão que conhecemos muito bem a região (e seus vinhos!).

Normandy or bust!

My family loved getting away from Paris for the day via train to walk around picturesque Bayeaux and learn about Normandy’s WWII history. Pasquel was very knowledgeable, funny, and passionate & the people we encountered around Bayeaux were very friendly - it was a perfect day!

Fun afternoon wine tour!

Roxanne was our tour guide and driver. She arrived to the meeting place on-time and took our group of 8 to a family winery. The owner of the winery talked to us about the process of wine making and showed us the fermentation tanks and bottling equipment. Next we went into the tasting room where we tasted 6 wines. Roxanne provided the translation from French to English. We drove about 30 minutes and were able to see the distant mountains and vineyards. Our second stop (maybe another 30-40 minutes) was at a wine co-op that includes 200 small vineyards. We tasted about 8 wines including a delicious Grand Cru Riesling. The tour was about 5 hours due to some slowed traffic. Roxanne was informative and friendly and our group got along well. She was able to drop us at the square which was much closer to our hotel.

Nice tour with small...

Nice tour with small group and very knowledgable guide that provided great history in each spot and along the way. Great recommendations for lunch in Riquewihr and treats at each stop. Time to explore on your own after guided tours.

A hidden gem

It is an authentic part of old France. A less known, but amazing part of France. And an interesting lesson of history.

Fantastic day out with Oscar as our tour guide.

I absolutely loved the town of Saint Emilion and the stunning wineries. The area is pristine perfect. Oscar was so wonderful with his knowledge of wine, the town and the history of the area. His safe driving was also much appreciated. A wonderful friendly group who all got along famously.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Perfect Intellectual Escape for the Curious Business Traveler!

As someone who travels frequently for work, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that refresh my mind and inspire me beyond boardrooms and conference calls — and this tour was exactly that! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how thoughtfully curated every aspect of this day was. The guide’s depth of knowledge and genuine passion turned what could have been a simple sightseeing excursion into a rich tapestry of history, culture, and stories that made the city come alive in a whole new way. I especially loved how this experience balanced intellectual stimulation with a relaxed pace. Each stop offered fascinating insights — from hidden architectural gems to thought-provoking discussions about local art and heritage. It felt like stepping into a living classroom, but without any of the stuffiness. As a business traveler, I deeply appreciated how seamless and professional everything was — on time, well-organized, and with plenty of opportunities to connect with other curious minds. It was the perfect antidote to a day full of meetings, leaving me feeling energized and genuinely inspired. If you’re craving an experience that feeds your mind as well as your sense of adventure, don’t hesitate — this tour is an absolute must. I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone who wants to see the city through a more intellectual and meaningful lens.

We don't drink wine and we enjoyed it

Jerome ! We had an amazing tour guide in Jerome, he was confident in his knowledge of the area, the wine and everything in between. He knew the staff at all the venues and was able to give us good advice.

Sarlat, paese da vedere

Paese molto bello, sicuramente da visitare, al sabato mattina c'è un bel mercato, vale la pena di andarci, molti ristoranti dove, come piatto, regna sovrano il foie gras

Fun, easy way to experience Alsace wineries

Fun tour of a local vintner’s home where they produce wine and a cooperative winery where a groups of vintners produce wine in small batches. Our host was quite knowledgeable and easy going. She answered lots of questions and helped interpret for those of us who didn’t speak French. Nice small group in a small van so it didn’t feel like a big tourist group.
