Bert 25, Sep 2025 Excellent tour, just what I expected. The wineries were higher quality and totally worth the price of the trip. The guide was outstanding, he had vast knowledge of the region, but also the surrounding area. He was enthusiastic and enjoyed talking with us. The representatives at each winery were very informative The was a small tour (< 8 people) which made it much more personal. We had great tastings and a look at the property and wine making process.
5

Harry 23, Jun 2025 Very engaging informative guide. Learned a lot and sampled some decent wine. We
happened to be in a group that hit it off and had a laugh.
5

Cindy G 14, Mar 2025 We had a very comfortable vito bus and managed to be within the estimated time despite some traffic delays. The guide Mirella was really friendly and fun to spend the afternoon with. She gave us context before each vineyard and explained a whole lot of details about the wine region and Bordeaux culture. We stopped at two vineyards and got a great tour on each with wine tastings of 4 wines. It was very interesting and were able to ask any questions and take pictures of whatever we liked.
5

Martha C 28, Nov 2024 Our guide Colas was wonderful. He was attencious , very pleasant and gave us a great explanation of the wine world in Bourdeaux. I will come back and will recommend your service to my friends. Me and my daughter had a great experience and got out of the tour very happy. Thank you!!!!!
5

Christine M 15, Oct 2024 First, let me start with saying the only thing I would change about this trip is that I wish I had taken the full day tour instead of the half day. Our guide, Helen, was an absolute delight and certainly the reason we had such a great time. Helen is funny and knowledgeable and made the time in route fly by. This is a great way to learn about the region and its wines. Highly recommend and cross your fingers that Helen is your guide!
5

Nurhassan P 07, Sep 2024 Mirella was super accommodating to us. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen train delay, we were late to the tour. However, despite the fact we were late, she kept in communication with us and even waited for us at our first stop to make sure we were integrated into our tour From then on, the wine tour was excellent! The combination of showing us unique chateaus and sampling excellent wines makes for an unforgettable experience! I definitely recommend this tour for all wine lovers out there! You will not regret it
5

Amanda 15, Jul 2024 We had a wonderful day and experience with Helene in Margaux! She was very knowledgeable and charming. She gave us a very good introduction to the history of wine in the region. We got to visit two beautiful wineyards and see the fantastic scenery of the Medoc region. 5 out of 5 stars from us and we would recommend to everyone who visits Bordeaux!
5

Aoife Doherty 14, Jul 2024 Fantastic tour of the Medoc with our amazing wine tsar Laetitia! She was so knowledgeable and a bit of craic too - brilliant afternoon including an unscheduled stop at a boulangerie and a drive by of Chateuax Margaux. The two vineyards that we visited were well chosen and the guides there very professional. Last year we went to Saint Emillion and choose Ophorus again this year for our return trip to Bordeaux. Highly recommend.
5

Satnam Butter 12, Jul 2024 Mirela was an excellent guide very knowledgeable and lots of fun. Great wine tasting as a small group
5

Frederick Tajirian 08, Jul 2024 Nice tour very nice friendly and knowledgeable guide. Don’t expect to taste the great Bordeaux wines but good enough. One of the wineries was a 4 th growth wine.
5

Toño gonzález 07, Jul 2024 Amazing experience and Stan is a great tour guide and knows his business about the business wine. He is precise and knowledgeable, and has an excellent sense of humor and is approachable.

Grand Cru winery.

Max 28, Jun 2024 Hat alles super funktioniert, über die Buchung bis hin zur Abholung. Super Kommunikation. Gruppengröße ist perfekt für die Art der Tour. Sehr netter Guide, die immer alle Fragen beantwortet hat und auch Tipps zum weiten Aufenthalt in Bordeaux gegeben hat. Gerne wieder.
5

Rajendran 25, Jun 2024 The guide at the vineyard was very knowledgeable and the selection of wines for tasting were superb
4

James L 18, Jun 2024 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.
5

Gayle Bullett 14, Jun 2024 Booked this trip for 6 adults. Information from Ophorus was prompt & clear. Met our guide Mariela at designated place and on time. On the drive Mariela told us about the area and the 2 vineyards we were visiting. She was informative & had a good sense of humour. At both vineyards the hosts gave us a good history and the chance to try several wines. It was an excellent afternoon & we learnt so much about the Bordeaux area. Well worth visiting.
5

Allison K 12, Jun 2024 We had a wonderful experience on our tour yesterday. Karim is one of the best tour guides
we've ever come across. Engaging, fun, knowledgeable. He made our day! The 2 wineries we
visited were lovely. Thanks again!!

A8856T 02, Jun 2024 I really enjoyed our tour guide! She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. The
wineries weren’t our favorite but overall it was a good experience. If this was the only tour
we were doing this isn’t the region I would’ve gone to.
5

Joseph 01, Jun 2024 Most informative guide, interesting and fun with a “surprise” site visit. Highly recommend
whether or not a wine enthusiast.
5

Ian Kaplin 26, May 2024 Instructive & enjoyable tour. The talk at chateau Prieu-Lichine was excellent, Guide was very good & we appreciated getting a photo outside Chateau Margaux
5

Sara 24, May 2024 This tour is amazing! Andrew was the best driver and guide. He was friendly, professional, funny, and allowed for an absolute great half day tour! The first winery was magnificent. We learned so much about wine production. The wines were also delicious. The second winery was just a tasting. The wines were equally as delicious! The Medoc region was a nice 45/50 minute drive from the center of Bordeaux. We loved this tour. * As an American, this is not the boozy wine tour we are used to in the states. It is simply a tasting. FYI if you are expecting to be able drink glasses of the wine wines you like from the tasting.
5

Mike 22, May 2024 Anne was brilliant, an excellent excursion
5

Mathew 22, May 2024 We visited two wineries that we really enjoyed and the company was great as well. We
would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out of Bordeaux and see the Left
Bank.
5

Alan 10, May 2024 Great tour, knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Was exactly what we were looking for

Peter 06, May 2024 Informative

very good wines.

Amanda 29, Apr 2024 Had a lovely afternoon and our guide was amazing! It was really interesting to see the
wineries and learn about the area. Not much wine for the price but a lovely tour!
5

Sandra Webber 09, Feb 2024 Emily was fantastic. She is very knowledgeable, personable and brings wonderful energy and kindness to the tour. We enjoyed visiting the two wineries and the representative who gave the full tour/explanation at Chateau Margaux was equally excellent. Very informative in a succinct way. We highly recommend this tour and this tour guide in particular.
5

Alexis 05, Feb 2024 Hugo was such a great character, you would have mistaken him as a comedian. Perfect English and great wine knowledge, I had some questions and needed clarification which he provided me with perfect explanation and answers. Overall this trip gave us a very insight about the Medoc region as well as the winemaking processes and histories. One thing about these Guides, i find them incredible at multitasking when driving and having to explain about the tour at the same time with such clarity. Their English is impeccable too.
5

Maria Herrero 04, Feb 2024 Hugo fue un guía excepcional. Buena conversación, gran conocimiento de la zona y sus vinos y estuvo pendiente que todo el grupo se sintiese a gusto aunque nos dominásemos al 100% el idioma
5

Alice C 28, Jan 2024 The tour was fantastic ! Our guide (Rodolph) was very pleasant, funny and engaging. He’s very knowledgeable about wine and the wine region. It’s a small group so we can ask questions.
Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends.
5

Sean McGinnis 17, Jan 2024 We did a half day Medoc tour. Our tour guide was amazing and we had as much fun on the drive with her as we had once we arrived. She was very knowledgeable and friendly, and kept us entertained during the drive.

The wineries we went to were well thought out to give a quick sampling of the kinds of wine from this region. The tour and wine tastings were excellent, and we enjoyed every stop.

I would highly recommend taking a tour if you have half a day and would like a stress free way to explore the area and learn more about the local wines.

Thanks Maude!

Paul C 19, Oct 2023 The information provided by our guide Rudolf along the journey as well as the tour of the
winery conducted by a very experienced tour guide there who was able to answer all our
questions

Matilde 18, Oct 2023 The 2 plaxes we visited didn't impressed us. But I have to say that the 1st chateau. the host was extremely helpful and instructive. The wing we visited was made out of cement , as they had an helicopter pad . We didn't come to Medoc and it's vineries to see cement.. and the second tasting was extremely boring.. we felt rushed by our tour guide because she had another tour.. overall I wouldn't recommend it
5

Vijay O 17, Oct 2023 We had the pleasure of experiencing a tour guided by Jerome aka J. He was not only incredibly well-informed but also delightfully entertaining. From the moment the tour began, his passion for the subject matter was evident, making the historical facts come to life with enthusiasm and humor. It was evident that this guide had a deep knowledge of the Bordeaux's history, and his ability to weave fascinating anecdotes into the narrative kept everyone engaged. This tour guide's combination of expertise and charisma made for an exceptional and enjoyable tour.
5

Dean 13, Oct 2023 Outstanding in every way. Our guide was really fun and she knew so much. The two wineries were awesome, as well!
4

Karen C 10, Oct 2023 Pretty good guide but the vehicle's poor ventilation took away a lot from the trip. First
Vinyard pretentious but the guide was good. Second stop a little better but much shorter.
5

Kim Dong Geon 04, Oct 2023 가이드는 유쾌하고 지식이 풍부하여 유익하고 즐거운 시간을 보냈다. 다음에 또 만나고 싶은 가이드였다.

Gary M 02, Oct 2023 Excellent tour, host was fantastic, she went deep into explaining the Medoc and Bordeaux
wine region; and in answering our questions, and wine was right on

3

Anastasia 26, Sep 2023 The tour guide, Emily was well versed and very friendly. She made each person feel welcomed and included.
The vineyards were overrated. Ratings from 1855 mean little today. There are so many amazing wines out there to discover. I’d spend more time on the wines that are truly, “drinking wine with friends” versus 93 euro per bottle classification and that’s the low end of what was shared.
5

Charlene 25, Sep 2023 We had a great experience in the Margaux region with Mathilde! She has a wealth of knowledge and provided a relaxed and humorous tour. She took us to two chateaux and made sure to stop at other beautiful locations in the area so we could take photos and take in the countryside. The wine was fabulous and the views breathtaking. This is a very special place in the world - a must when visiting Bordeaux!
5

Vittorio 25, Sep 2023 Had a wonderful time, the tour guide was so fun and knowledgeable, I feel more confident
picking my favorite wines now.
5

Stuart Lavelle 25, Sep 2023 Emily was very lovely and very knowledgeable

especially Bordeaux!

5

Grape G 21, Sep 2023 We had a great day on our tour. Our guide Valentin was excellent, personable, and made
our day very fun. The tour was very informative and we had a really good group of people
with us. It was the perfect amount of time as we did not want a full day tour.
5

Susana 15, Sep 2023 Muy buena selección de viñedos y la explicación
5

John Anschuetz 11, Sep 2023 Great experience visiting 2 wineries in the Medoc region. Luigi was a great guide!
5

James 11, Sep 2023 Excellent trip - everything we hoped it would be. Maud was extremely friendly and
knowledgeable, the chateaux were beautiful and well-chosen and the wine (of course)
excellent! An easy recommendation
4

Gina B 08, Sep 2023 It was interesting to see a Family run vineyard vs a commercially run one.
Be careful to read the description of both Medoc and Margaux tours because Margaux is in
the Medoc region and tours can overlap
5

Wander 08, Sep 2023 the driver was knowledgable and funny
he also provided recommendations on eating after the tour
wines were good
presenters were good
5

Katie Kearins 08, Sep 2023 Colas was an excellent guide!

Gary T 06, Sep 2023 Stuffing car ride. Low quality wine. Too much hipe. Poor value. Arrogant guide at winery.
Needs better wineries and better mode of transportation.
5

Joseph 31, Aug 2023 Great guided tour. Our guide was friendly, interactive, and knowledgeable. Shared great
general tips about Bordeaux and had a real passion for the region. Air conditioned van was
very comfortable on a day where the temp was over 100 F. Chateau Prieure-Lichine.
5

Peter Ryan 30, Aug 2023 Excellent. Luigi was informative and funny
5

Nidia G 26, Aug 2023 This tour is promoted as Medoc however we visited the Margaux region as well. Chateau
Duazac is a beautiful place. Also visited Chateau Haut-Breton. Very nice tour with Rudolph
as the guide.
5

Kevin Phelan 17, Aug 2023 Excellent tour. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide
5

Rhoswy 16, Aug 2023 Avery pleasant drive to the Medoc wine region in a spotlessly clean vehicle with a
knowledgeable and informative driver. This is ideal for those wanting to know more about
the production of wine.
4

Sean 13, Aug 2023 The tour started on time and it is easy to locate the meeting point. Karim was friendly, knowledgeable and a great tour driver. We visited two vineyards, first Chateau Marquis de Terme and second Chateau Siran. Overall a good experience however at Chateau Marquis de Terme the tour part lasted a bit long and was overly detailed. Both tastings were enjoyable in nice settings but for the price of the tour I'd expect a bit more wine or at least the option.
5

Ana Ibarra 13, Aug 2023 Luigi our guide was great! He gave us maps of the Bordeaux region, gave us some fun facts about the city and the region, and history of the wineries we visited. Our time was great
5

Jessica Villardi 02, Aug 2023 Excellent tour! Fun, knowledgeable guide. Great chateaus. Perfect afternoon tour.
5

5

John Shelby 02, Jul 2023 Jerome was a five star guide. He knew exactly how to bring our group together for a joyous experience. While driving well, he multi-functioned by sharing his vast knowledge of everything wine and kept the group dynamic alive.

Hire this guide for a great tour of the Bordeaux wine region.
5

Jarrah 02, Jul 2023 I have attended many wine tours and this was by far the most informative one. Karim was a fountain of knowledge on all things wine, as well as the city of Bordeaux and an incredibly engaging and entertaining guide. The two chateaus were both beautiful and had amazing wines, as one would expect in Margeaux. I highly recommend any tour with Karim for local knowledge and a fun-filled day out.
5

Georges Uhl 01, Jul 2023 We took the 4 hour Médoc region tour and visited two wineries in Margaux, Chateau Marquis de Terme and Chateau Siran. Both wineries were fantastic and our Tour guide, Kamir, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our winery guides, Sophie at the Château Marquis de Terme and Paul at the Château Sirent were very informative and happily answered all of our questions. I recommend the Ophorus team to anyone who wants to visit wineries in the Bordeaux regions
5

Will 29, Jun 2023 An excellent tour of the Médoc region. Valentin was a fantastic guide who was passionate, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The wines that we tasted were incredible and Valentin clearly had a strong relationship with the guides at the winery, which made us feel comfortable and well received. Would recommend to anyone looking for great Bordeaux wines!
5

Rob_B 27, Jun 2023 Learned a great deal about the area - Bordeaux/Médoc/Margaux and the wines.

Colas, the guide was awesome! Super knowledgeable and fun! The best guide we’ve had on a two week trip to France.
5

Lauren Vandiver 13, Jun 2023 Our tour guide, Valentin, was wonderful! He was so informative and made the experience very engaging and fun. We had the pleasure of having him guide us twice and would very highly recommend him as your guide! We visited Saint-Émilion and the Médoc region. Both were beautiful and the wines were excellent. You must visit when you’re in Bordeaux!
5

Gabriela_C 08, Jun 2023 Médoc Wine Tour
Wonderful tour exploring the châteaus of Médoc while learning about the history of the area and the classification of the wines. The two châteaus visited were nice choices, with each pouring 2-3 nice size tastings. The wine in this region is excellent, as was our tour leader and driver, Justine.
5

Amit_K 06, Jun 2023 The two wineries we visited was amazing. My favorite was - Château Dauzac.

adnand 29, Sep 2021 Bella esperienza resa speciale anche dalla preparazione della guida, Luigi. La visita alle cantine suggestiva. La degustazione non particolarmente coinvolgente. Magari farei un unica degustazione un po più rilassata, con qualche stuzzichino l'acqua per pulire i bicchieri, ecc
5

Tracy 22, Sep 2021 Luigi, our guide, was well-versed in the Bordeaux wine area and gave us many insights about the history of the city as well as details about wine production. He had a sense of humor which was much appreciated too! We went to two chateaus and tried a total of 5 wines and bought a few bottles too! Great tour ☺️
5

Tim C 22, Sep 2021 We took this tour with Luigi and it was great. He was very knowledgeable about the region and French history in general. The wineries were really great and the tastings were very enjoyable.

millie0109 22, Sep 2020 Kurzweiliger und informativer Nachmittag mit tollem Guide
Nachdem wir im letzten Jahr bereits die St. Emilion Tour gemacht hatten, wollten wir diesmal die andere Seite kennenlernen, Medoc. Wir waren Corona bedingt nur eine kleine Gruppe von 4 Leuten und wir waren froh, das die Tour überhaupt statt gefunden hat. Zuvor hatte ich den Termin noch umlegen müssen und in dem Zuge einen sehr netten telefonischen Kontakt mit Nancy (auf Deutsch sogar).
Das Verschieben hat auch ohne weiteres geklappt. Unser Guide war Karim, der sich sehr gut auskannte und uns eine Menge Infos über die Weinregion, ein bisschen Geschichte und die Chateaus erzählt hat. Wir haben 2 Chateaus besucht, wiederum sehr informativ und am Ende mit kleiner Weinprobe. Alles in allem ein gelungener Nachmittag und Karim der perfekte Guide. Die Chateaus sind allgemein etwas geizig mit ihrem Wein, das könnte bei den Proben etwas mehr sein :-)

Im Vergleich zur St. Emilion würde ich für Einsteiger die St. Emilion Tour wählen, weil man da am Ende noch durch das hübsche Städtchen gehen kann. Alles in allem ein Must Do in Bordeaux!!
4

Robyrobrob 03, Sep 2020 Très intéressant et instructif!

Nous avons fait la visite de 2 caves guidés par Émilie notre charmante guide. Elle a rendue les visites très fraîches et ludiques! Nous avons vraiment adoré et nous recommandons vivement de partir découvrir les vins bordelais avec eux! En revanche, les caves sélectionnées avaient des guides plus ou moins sympathiques et la dégustation peut se faire que sur un nombre très restreint de vin.
5

April_S 13, Mar 2020 We took a day train to Bordeaux and this tour was perfect! Angie was our tour guide. She was very friendly, funny and super knowledgeable. What was also great was that we were the only couple who decided to go to Medoc because everyone usually goes to St. Emilion, so we basically had a private tour! It was beautiful driving through the countryside, and Angie took us to some other chateaus as well just to take pictures and give us some more history about the area. We visited Chateau Dauzac and Chateau Marquis de Terme. The staff at both were so friendly and inviting and the wine was delicious! Angie even offered to drive us back much closer to the train station since we ran into some traffic on the way back from the wineries and we had an earlier train to catch. We actually had to leave France early because of the coronavirus scare and the US issuing a travel ban, so this was basically the only thing we got to do in our short stay but it was very worth it. We will definitely do the full tour next time we come! Ask for Angie!!!

connolly269 09, Mar 2020 Great tour and guide !
We had a great tour of the Margaux appellation visiting Chateau Prieure Lichine and Chateau Lascombes. Our guide, Luigi, was brilliant.
He was very warm and friendly and provided us with a great overview of wine production in the region in a fun and informative way. We got to try a few lovely grand crus too! The tour was the highlight of our trip to Bordeaux. Thanks Luigi!

carla_with_a_sea 25, Feb 2020 A fun day in Margaux

To ensure we see the best of Bordeaux, we booked both half day trips to St Emilion and Medoc. The Medoc was definitely our favourite. We visited the appelation of Margaux (very famous!) and got to visit 2 large estates with a drive by Chateau Margaux!

As it was our first time in Bordeaux we opted for the tours to help us navigate ourselves. Our tour guide, Emily, was lovely and well informed with quite a lot of local stories and anecdotes to share.
We'd have liked exposure to a few more places to try (and buy) wine from Medoc but all in all a great way to see the area and experience a taste of Bordeaux wines.

We learned about the history of the region, had the opportunity to see two wineries and taste at each. I highly recommend this tour !

Charmen (United Kingdom) 06, Oct 2019 The tour was well organised and the hostess was very knowledgeable of the region and it’s wines. We tried to book another trip the following day but it was sold out.
