Tour Company Ophorus is Fantastic!

Alsace vineyards, nice day tour experience with the nice guide Pauline
690gu_mundur_, Jun 2024
Pauline from Ophorus was our guide, beside me and my wife there were 5 other persons in the same tour. The tour started from the Strasbourg Catherdal at 9am and returned similar place approx 5pm according to schedule.
Pauline is a good driver and a nice person and guide. Her local knowledge in the Alsace area was amazing. We visited three of several local vineyards and tasted between 6 and 8 of their vines. We learned a lot about the Alsace vine production, the special landscape and the different soil conditions which mainly affects the the vine taste. We also purchased some boxes of wine, but that´s another story.
Pauline gets our highest possible recommendation as a guide for the Alsace Local Villages tour.

Wonderful morning tour with Damien who’s love, knowledge and enthusiasm for the area was infectious.
Wonderful weather and picture postcard scenery made for a great tour of the Alsace villages
Charming small villages
Ellie_R, Sep 2023
This was my second tour with Ophorus and Damien. Even though the villages we visited in this tour don’t compare to Colmar or Riquewihr they are also very charming. You also get to see the vineyards. All in all it’s a great way to spend 4 hours when you kinda ran out of things to do in Strasbourg.
