Great small group tour
What a great day touring the Alsace Region. Visiting the medieval villages and the castle that date back centuries. Our driver and guide for the day Jerome was fantastic with such a wealth of knowledge of this region from the borders swapping between France and Germany, vineyards and being in a small group made it even better. Thank you for a great day.

The perfect day trip to St Emilion including 3 Chateau visits and wine tastings
This day trip was the perfect blend of organised activity (wine tasting), information receiving and free time to explore the stunning little village of St Emilion. Our guide Mathis was informative, professional and very good at his job.

Excellent Prehistoric Dordogne Day Tour from Sarlat with Ophorus
Our day began just before 9 AM at the standard meeting spot that Ophorus uses for its Sarlat-based tours, just south of the historic center. Our family of four was joined by two American women. The guide Benoit used a headset while driving us in a comfortable Mercedes van so everyone could hear his English-language commentary clearly, even those of us sitting in the back. The tour, known on the Ophorus website as Journey into Prehistory: Museum, Lascaux IV & Rouffignac Cave, included four stops: 1. National Prehistory Museum in Les Eyzies 2. Rouffignac Cave featuring mammoth drawings 3. Lunch break in Les Eyzies 4. Lascaux IV, the recreation of the original cave paintings We were dropped off back at Sarlat by 6 PM. As first-time prehistoric cave visitors, this tour completely revised our preconceptions. We learned that during the Ice Age, people lived in tent-like structures on permafrost ground in a Dordogne that had few trees. They didn't live in the caves where we see their art. In fact, they may well have done most of their painting outdoors, but the cave paintings happen to be the ones that have survived over the millennia. Benoit's low-key style and clear explanations revealed both the certainties and mysteries of prehistoric life. One example: at the museum, he gave context to a 15,000-year-old burial of a woman at Saint-Germain-la-Rivière that contained 70 pierced deer teeth - each from a different deer and from distant regions, indicating her social importance. These details gave new meaning to what would otherwise be simply ancient artifacts. Note that at Rouffignac and Lascaux IV, site-specific guides take over. Our Rouffignac tour was conducted in French, with English language material provided on tablets, which might be useful to know beforehand. The tour covers much ground but is well-paced - we never felt rushed or overwhelmed despite the full day. Our children (ages thirteen and eleven) remained entertained throughout. The tour provides both the visual experience of the caves and the context needed to understand their significance.

The tour was exceptional. Our guide was really passionate about the wine making and of course wine itself! She explained everything to us and there was adequate interaction with the group in order not to get bored not even one moment. The wines we tasted were amazing and the walk in the village very beautiful. I would recommend the tour 100%!
