The tastings and tour...
Eric_L, Dec 2024
The tastings and tour explanations from the Chateaus on site were great. We visited Chateau Prieure Lichine and Chateau Haut-Breton with a very quick photo stop at Chateau Margaux (1 minute). Our driver, Oscar, didn't provide much information during the drive to and from Medoc or between the wine tastings and didn't seem particularly enthusiastic to be there. We would recommend the tour because of the convenience, but wish the driver had taken advantage of the 50 min drive to provide explanations and spoke better English to be able to better understand the group questions.
Very good.

The guide was fantastic. Funny, friendly, and kept us on time even with one very chatty guest. The wine was great and I won’t give any spoilers about the venues but they are well worth the visit.
The only things would say could be better is finding the meeting point. A sign would be good or just say meet outside the travel information centre. And the booking, make people confirm their language, I feel bad for the couple who spoke French and didn’t realise it was an English speaking tour.
Disappointing experience!

Our guide Alice was extremely rude and rushed us through the whole experience.
We arrived 3mins late and the first thing she told us in an extremely rude tone: you’re late! As tourist, it can happen that it takes you slightly longer to find the meeting point. Being 3mins late does not warrant such an unwelcomed reception. It sets a wrong tone for the whole trip.
At the end of the wine tasting, we took a few mins to buy some wines and she was rushing both the clients and vendors in the process.
I don’t think it was worth the money spent. Sadly will not recommend this in the future.
Responses from CaroleOphorus
Dear Sashena,
We sincerely apologize for the experience you had with our guide, Alice. We take your feedback very seriously and will address these points with her to ensure this does not happen again.
We understand that as tourists, finding the meeting point might take a bit longer and being 3 minutes late should not have resulted in an unwelcoming reception. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and we regret that it set a negative tone for your trip.
Please note that sometimes our schedule can be tight, which may have contributed to the sense of urgency. However, this is not an excuse for rudeness, and we will work to ensure our guides manage time constraints without compromising the quality of the experience.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Best, Kevin from Ophorus team

Our knowledgeable guide was a real delightful! We tasted in the Margaux AOC, including a Grand Cru winery.
A compelling experience

The wine education at the first chateau we visited was quite interesting. My partner and I gained an understanding about Medoc and the Margaux appellation . Also, we appreciate the tour as we were not cramped in the vehicle, thanks to our tour guide (Oscar) who made our tour comfortable and light.
