We have all travelled the world but this was an amazing experience of an organised day trip. What we learnt from this trip because of Jerome and his passion was Geography of Alsace Wine with history Local knowledge Plus villages of such beauty including “the storks” History of the area concerning the war. He made this trip very personable and interested in our country. Safe driver Attentive to our needs and we never felt rushed.

- I5564MCmelissaw0 contributionsBest tour and tour guide ever!My husband and I had the privilege of taking the day tour of Eguisheim, wine tasting, and Haut-Koenigsbourg Castle with Jerome. Not only was the tour amazing, Jerome our tour guide was over the top excellent. His knowledge of literally everything was truely impressive. We learned so much about the history of Alsace, wine and more all from Jerome. When the weather didn’t cooperate for us to see the castle we improvised and went to another site where Jerome once again shared his knowledge with us. We won’t stop talking about our tour or Jerome for a long time. It was the best tour ever!Written December 3, 2023
- cgandalf19670 contributionsColmar Small Group tours were greatMy wife and I just spent the last 2 days with Ophorus tours departing from Colarm (one was the full day wine tasting and the other was the villages and castles tours, both small group tours). Excellent time both days and had a lot of fun. Thierry was our guide today on the castles and villages and he really was funny and entertaining all day long with what ended up just being a small group of 3 guests. Highly recommendWritten October 26, 2023
- KatW2240 contributionsA great way to see some hidden Alsatian gemsOur tour of the Alsace villages with Thierry was just fantastic. He was so knowledgable and funny which made the whole experience great fun and really good value for money. We saw villages we would never have known about and got to take some fabulous pictures, we really felt like locals for the day. We also learnt an incredible amount about the region’s history and its winemaking. He even doubled back so that we could see an infamous Alsatian stork in its nest! I highly recommend one of these tours, a great way to spend an afternoon.Written October 25, 2023

Great trip! A good balance between wine tasting, sightseeing trough the vineyards and beautiful villages. Our guide was well known with the region, wine production and the taste of wine. Also nice that we only visited organic / bio winemakers. This tour is highly recommended if you prefer small scale wineries and love an intimate tour around the Alsace area.

The Alsace half day wine tour was worth everything. I has just 1 day left in Alsace and I am glas I took this tour to relish and experience the wines in the region. Amelie our guide was very knowledgeable kind and fun. She gave detailed descriptions of everything and helped us be comfortable. The tour was also super fun and a great experience to have even though it is a short one. We went to one of the oldest wineries and took us through a lot of wine growing areas. Highly recommend it.

An excellent combination of wine tasting and history of the region, our half-day wine tasting tour with Jerome was a highlight of our short break in Colmar and Strasbourg. Two wineries in different villages, one more traditional and the other more modern, we got to learn about the grapes, terroir, climate and wine-making process across the morning. Tasted all the Alsace grape varieties and it was a treat to try wine made from the same grape from two different places. Highly recommend!

Amélie was a terrific driver and guide, friendly and knowledgeable. Our stop at the Bollenberg winery was spectacular; their guide/hostess, Apolline, was an absolute delight. She was knowledgeable, gracious and fun, representing her family well. Their wine was excellent! The stop in Eguesheim was a delight, too.

Aude was wonderful, very sweet and knowledgeable. She took us to 2 delightful towns, including Eguisheim, and explained about the geology and wines in the region, and showed us and explained the history of the medieval towns. The wineries were well selected, the tasting was educational and fun, and it was a delightful experience. We had time to explore the towns on our own. I highly recommend this tour.

We enjoyed a fantastic tour, really getting to experience Alsatian wines at two different yet wonderful settings. The vintners we met were gracious and knowledgeable and delighted in sharing their work with us. Our guide was very well-informed, and she was so hospitable. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you have a limited amount of time but want to experience the beauty of these wineries.

Jean Yves picked us up as scheduled by the cinema. I was solo, but was joined by seven friends and family members living in Germany, Mexico and the US. Our guide explained sites and local history as we took the short drive to a family vineyard. Jean Yves was able to help translate with any questions that we had. Our first stop was very educational and we spent a good amount of time learning about the processes, followed by some wonderful wine tasting. We drove to a war memorial and then on to another lovely family winery. Both great experiences and so much fun to travel with new friends.
Very professional and friendly tour guide, safe driver and some wonderful Alsace wines.
