Reviews for Ophorus

Our guide, Valentin, was extremely knowledgeable. He was very friendly, easy to be around, and a great teacher. The vehicle was clean and air conditioned. The process of ordering wines from our tastings to be shipped to the US was seamless. Highly recommend.

Det var fantastisk tur! Udover selve historiens grusomme sandhed der krøb under huden på os, så var vores guide Matt med til at gøre historien levende, ved at fortælle alle facts på en livlig og passioneret måde. 1000 tak Matt. en dag vi aldrig vil glemme.

Our guide was very nice, but unfortunately the tour itself was a major disappointment. The structure of the tour felt poorly planned, with far too much unnecessary driving and time spent looking at châteaux from the road. We felt like we spent more time in the car than actually tasting wine. It also made for a very long and exhausting day, particularly with so much time spent listening to extended commentary in the car rather than actually experiencing the wineries. We visited only two wineries, plus what seemed more like a wine shop, which felt very underwhelming for a full-day Médoc wine tour. The tastings were particularly disappointing. Several wineries offered very small pours, offering only two wines max to taste, and the wines themselves were not especially interesting. We even noticed tasting fees of around €8 at some of the wineries, which made the experience feel more like a series of inexpensive tastings than a curated wine tour. I have a WSET Level 3 qualification, so I was particularly looking forward to learning more about the Médoc and its wines. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much opportunity to do that. The overall experience felt quite basic, and the winery selection was the biggest disappointment. For €300 for two people, we left feeling that the experience was very poor value for money. What really stood out to us was how much the winery selection seemed to have compromised the overall experience. Our experience felt so bad that we had a negative view of the Médoc, so we actually decided to return to the Médoc on our own during one of our free days, and the experience was dramatically different—and cost considerably less. That really highlighted how disappointing the tour had been. Our guide was lovely, but unfortunately we would not recommend this tour based on the overall structure, excessive driving, winery selection, tastings, and value for money.

Half day tour of St Emillion

We had a fantastic experience with our guide Roldof. He was very informative, interesting and funny. We met at the tourism office and were taken to St Emillion village in an air conditioned mini bus. We had a bit of free time and then were taken on to a Chateau for wine tasting. We tried several different wines with an informative explanation of the wine manufacturering process. We were then driven back to Bordeaux and played a game. Highly recommended, such good value for money and a wonderful experience whilst visiting Bordeaux

Educational D-Day Experience

We had an educational and relaxed day with Vic. Obviously a very sobering tour but Vic kept the right tone and imparted many interesting and important facts that really helped us understand D-Day and days thereafter. The length was perfect to take in numerous locations without feeling rushed or that we were missing out on things. Highly recommend and you’re in for a treat if you have Vic as your guide.

Our tour guide at Ophorus was amazing. We felt she went above and beyond. She was very knowledgeable about wine and the area. After the tour she brought us to her favorite place for pictures which had breathtaking views. We would definitely do this tour again.

A thoroughly successful wine tasting experience with Ophorus! A very special thank you goes to our guide Thierry, who led the tour fantastically. With his great sense of humor, deep historical knowledge of the region, and expert expertise in vine cultivation and winemaking, he made the day a truly memorable experience. The dynamics within our group were simply perfect as well – you couldn't have picked a better mix of people. The two winery stops were excellently chosen: we received a warm welcome and were treated to the very best of the vineyards' 'white gold.' An unforgettable day that we highly recommend to any lover of wine and culture! Best wishes Tanja & Toto from Austria

The 2 Paleolithic sites and the National museum were absolutely amazing. A mixture of ancient and Medieval human history. The cave paintings recreated at Lascaux IV are extraordinary.
