Did a great job of managing us thru the day and I felt he communicated the plan of where we were going next. Was also great that he had umbrellas to offer us when it unexpectedly rained!
Overall, Jeff and I were very pleased "
Muchas gracias !

Lisa Heiser 19, Sep 2023Seeing the vineyards with Justine was a great experience. She was friendly, and clearly passionate about the wine making process. We were energized by her excitement! The arrangements and selections of vineyards was perfect. The beauty of the areas was amazing. We keep looking at our pictures!
I'd be happy to recommend Ophorus to any travelor trying to make tour arrangements. You were timely, friendly, responsive to all of my emails....lots of nice adjectives come to mind!! The flexibility with our boat's late arrival and departure from our boat was very much appreciated by our group of six.
Your country was beautiful!!! Thank you for helping us to make it so enjoyable.

HB11, Jul 2022I wanted to drop a brief note regarding our tour with Camille on July 7th.
Without any hesitation, all four in our party felt that Cami was the absolute best tour guide that we had over the ten days we spent in France. She was knowledgeable and ever so helpful. She made every moment of our tour extra special! Thank you for providing us the opportunity to spend a day with Camille.

Melanie H03, Jun 2019Best part of our cruise!
Our guide was amazing! She was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Medoc wines and
even helped watch our children while we toured the chateaux. She took us to the best place for lunch
and really made the day great!
We would recommend this tour to anyone!

Went with Karim from Ophorus Excursions on an all day tour to wineries in the Bordeaux Medoc region. Toured three wineries of different types and tasted wines at each place.

Nina S28, Oct 2017Phenomenal wines! Tours! Sightseeing!
Our tour group consisted of 4 couples from around the world and a delightful tour leader. We had all a lot of varied experiences in wine tastings and tours. Happily, our tour guide Karim did a wonderful job tailoring our experience to the level which we were all educated, informed and kept entertained. We spent 3 days throughout the regions with terrific lunches, wine tastings and sightseeing.
