Reviews for Ophorus

We were immensely pleased with this all-day tour to 3 wineries on the Alsace route des vins. Our guide Alan, an Alsace native, was wonderful. He is obviously passionate about wine and was a constant source of good information. He was warm and welcoming, and made the day fun. The tastings were extensive - 5 or 6 wines at each stop. Compared to wine tastings we’re used to at home, these were very relaxed and leisurely. At 2 of the 3 stops we were hosted by a member of the family. I would definitely recommend this tour to friends and family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Saint Emilion and the wine tastings at three different chateaux. Our guide, Dulce, was very personable and knowledgeable about the region and made the experience one of the highlights of our visit to Bordeaux. I would recommend the tour to anyone interested in wine and the Bordeaux region.

This was a perfect trip. Leticia was very engaging and knowledgeable. She went out of the way to answer all our questions and make us feel comfortable. We’ve learned a lot and the vines were great!

Our guide (Mirelle? Sorry if I haven’t spelled that correctly) was very animated, knowledgeable and fun throughout our one-day tour. She thoughtfully allowed us as much time as we needed to purchase items, take photos and even offered to take photos of us, as well as giving good advice about how best to enjoy our free time in St. Emilion. Thank you for a memorable day out.

(Translated by Google) A very interesting activity, especially the visit to Obernai, a beautiful town. Our guide was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about the localities and the wines of the region. The wineries we visited had excellent quality wines at affordable prices. I want to highlight the kindness and friendliness of the gentleman at the second winery; he was very kind and, as he is the producer himself, gave us valuable information about his wines produced there. Our photo stop was very good, in a very suitable spot. A tour I recommend. (Original) Atividade muito interessante, principalmente a passagem por Obernai uma cidade lindíssima. Nossa guia foi muito simpática e nos deu muitas informações sobre as localidades e sobre os vinhos da região. As vinícolas visitadas tinham vinhos de excelente qualidade e com preços acessíveis, quero aqui salientar a gentileza e simpatia do Senhor da segunda vinícola, muito amável e como é o próprio produtor nos deu informações preciosas sobre seus vinhos produzidos ali. Nossa parada para fotos foi muito boa, num ponto bem adequado. Um passeio que recomendo.

We had a fantastic day with Laurence, she is french and shared with us not only all her knowledge, but her family history in the Alsace region. She even took us to the village that she lives at now, Obernai. During the tour she drove through back roads rather than taking the highway and the landscapes and villages we drove through were beautiful, directly out of a postcard. The wineries we visited were excellent. Laurence is a sommelier and she gave us the first testing. We had lunch in a beautiful village, Ribeauvillé. Laurence gave us recommendation for the restaurants and the 8 participants of the tour had lunch at the same place, Au Passage de la Tour. I highly recommend this restaurant. It is decorated with Alsacian theme and the attention and food were really good. We tested at least 12 different wines and had the opportunity to buy wines from each winery at their price, that is of course cheaper than buying it in a store and try them in a restaurant. We loved the tour!

This was the BEST tour and Alain was the BEST guide. He knew all things wine and the weather could not have been more perfect. Btw, we also had the BEST group to tour with.

Very personable and knowledgeable driver.

Product: Bayeux to Mont Saint-Michel Shuttle with Abbey Tickets

Great option for visiting Mont Saint Michel

My senior citizen parents and I took this van ride from Bayeux to Mont Saint Michel and our driver/guide was very friendly and enthusiastic. He gave us great tips to get the most with our money and explained the folklore and local culture. The van is spacious and comfortable. The roads are scenic and the autumn colors were beautiful. My Dad is not very mobile so when we got to the visitor center he opted to take the shuttle and Mom and I took the walking path. The path was flat and a gentle 35 minute walk to the entrance of the village. The Abbey and Village were very interesting. There were several stairs up to the Abbey, I saw many seniors taking a rest when needed. I’m glad Dad saved his energy with the shuttle. The headsets were inexpensive to rent but a nice option to go at your own pace. There are also free brochures in multiple languages so if you opt out of the headsets, you can read the description of each room you pass through. Our train to Paris was at 5:41 pm and we arrived back in Bayeux with plenty of time to grab a drink or snack for our next trip. We were able to stow our luggage in the van and get dropped off at the train station so this was a very convenient and laid back trip for our last day in Normandy. I lost my wedding band somewhere between the bathroom at the Welcome center and the walking path so I spent a lot of time retracing my footsteps. That took away the joy of being here and present in the moment. I think you will enjoy this trip if you sign up, and keep an eye out for my ring!

Helpful hint

Use the toilets before you get on the bus. There are limited toilets and not very clean. We had to pay after climbing many steps before there was a toilet.
