Alsace vineyards, nice day tour experience with the nice guide Pauline - 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.

Charming small villages - 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.

Don't miss it. - I'm terrible with names so don't remember the chap who was our guide, but cannot say enough nice things about him; he was entirely, patient, kind and so knowledgeable about the area. Maybe I wasn't expecting much but was blown away by the professionalism; thought maybe I originally booked a local in a van doing a tour! 😆 After doing the full tour, our guide was just casually chatting with some of our tour on the way back about wine and blew my mind with his detailed information. Strasbourg is so touristy it was so nice to be taken to some smaller villages to see similar buildings without so many crowds. We also saw an actual stork nest with the birds in it. Felt like I'd seen some local celebrities! 😆 It was very hot and the van had really good air-conditioning, thank god.

Excellent tour - We took this tour round Alsace with Pauline who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We visited three wineries, all of which were very different. We tasted mainly typical Alsatian style wines as you would expect, but also some varieties and styles that were new to us such as Klevener de Heiligenstein and eaux-de-vie. There were eleven of us on the tour, and we were divided across two minibuses with two guides. We all met up at each stop, but it meant that when travelling between places, it felt more intimate because we were in small groups and it was easier to ask questions of the guide. I thought the tour was good value for a wine tour and would happily recommend for a day out if staying in Strasbourg.

Opportunity to savour Alsatian country life - Peace and quiet away from the city and beautiful scenery. Chance to view vineyards and local villages which have a charming vibe and identity of their own. Liked the opportunity to walk for a while and enjoy surroundings. No wine tasting on this trip but nonetheless worth considering.
