5.00Pauline 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.
A wonderful morning visiting charming villages

5.00This 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.

4.00Peace 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.
good visits worth visiting

4.00The two guided tours: the Neustadt and Alsatian customs were very interesting and pleasant, we also followed the guided tour of the Alsatian museum on Sunday morning and we were delighted Welcoming at the tourist office was not great: minimum union and paid city plan!!! Unheard of in France, poor city very poor ....
