Product: From Bordeaux: Full-Day St Emilion Wine Tasting Tour

(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.

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!

Hmmm was it worth it?

The tour description did not meet the experience. A bit pricey for a few sips of wine. Nice scenery but an odd experience.

Great Tour

Great way to experience Bordeaux wine country. Tour was well organized and our guide Mathis was exceptional. He spoke perfect English and explained everything so well. He showed us where to eat in St Emillion and where to go. He did a great job driving the van as well. We tasted 12 different wines and the pours were generous. Highly recommend.

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.

Spectacular tour

This was a perfect tour for a solo traveler. The small grouping was great and our guide, Guy, friendly and very knowledgeable. Lastly, Saint Emilion is spectacular!

Atendeu as expectativas

Bom roteiro, número de pessoas ideal para a excursão, guia simpática e bem capacitada com muitas informações, tempo suficiente para o programa, bem agradável o passeio. Talvez se neste passeio incluísse um passeio a Obernai seria interessante pois a cidade é linda.

Delightful way to explore Colmar & Eguisheim

We had a delightful time going around the quaint villages of colmar snd Eguisheim. Our guide made our exploration even more enjoyable as he talked us through the history of every place.

Fabulous 4 hour/2 wineries tour!

Tour with Ophorus, scheduled thru Viator was fantastic! We arrived in Strasbourg on a Viking Cruise but opted for a small group wine tour (Mac 8 people but our group of 6 ended up with a “private” tour). The tour was well organized, communication was excellent, started punctually, visited 2 lovely wineries , and we had a GREAT guide, Carlos! He was knowledgeable, friendly & fun! We enjoyed all aspects of the 4 hr tour & highly recommend Ophorus & Carlos!

Interesting Four-Hour Tour to Rocamadour

Anne was an excellent guide and host for the day, driving us the one hour from Sarlat to Rocamadour. We learned a lot about the city on the way there, and she pointed out interesting places on the drive. Rocamadour is an incredible site, and she allowed us to see it from all vantage points before taking us on a tour of the city itself. Highly recommended way to spend four hours!

We had a lovely tour at two wineries (Château de Beaupré and Château Paradis). We tasted several delicious wines and the tastings were quite generous (6 at each winery: 2 white, 2 rosé, 2 red). Jehanne was a fabulous host and we really enjoyed our time with her!! We highly recommend this small group tour (8 people) for a chance to see the beautiful countryside, drink wine, and meet other travelers.

Anne was a very knowledgeable & fun tour guide! She made the drive very interesting and was wonderful at engaging our small group of 6. The van was very comfortable & the chateaus were beautiful!
