Reviews for Ophorus

Informative and humanizing

My wife, 32 year old son, and I very much enjoyed our 4 hour tour with Matt, in my wife’s and my case our first visit to the Normandy US D-Day beaches. Our son had visited with his grandparents two decades ago. We were joined by another American family of 5. Matt did an exceptional job of communicating more than the simple history of those events, but rather took the unusual approach of examining the perspectives of German, French, British, and other participants as well as of the Americans, while fully bringing us to an emotional climax on Omaha Beach, following taps and the lowering of Old Glory at the American Cemetery. Very moving. Matt’s dozen years of leading this tour and passion for the subject were evident as his knowledge was both exhaustive and intimate, infused by personal stories of his interviews with villagers who had been children at the time, a soldier who had been in the second wave at Omaha, and his own personal views. This was not a tour repeating information out of a book or a movie, but rather an intimate examination of the strategies and experiences from varying perspectives through the lens of someone deeply committed to sharing his passion for the subject. Terrific. Our only regret was not having more time!

Amazing half day wine trip

It was an amazing tour with our guide Julie, very clear and knowledgeable in providing all the history of Saint Emilion and information about wine. Would recommend this tour to others!

(Translated by Google) Julie was impeccable: precise in providing information about the chateaux we were visiting and the town of Saint-Émilion, as well as kind and friendly, always ready to answer our curious questions. She guided the winery tour and tasting in a professional yet informal manner, engaging us. (Original) Julie è stata impeccabile: precisa nel fornire indicazioni sullo chateaux che avremmo visitato e sulla cittadina di S. Emilion, nonché gentile e simpatica, pronta a soddisfare le nostre domande curiose. Ha guidato la visita in cantina e la degustazione in modo professionale, ma allo stesso tempo informale coinvolgendoci.

Loved this tour 5*

An incredible day exploring the Saint-Émilion area, moving from stop to stop with wine tastings along the way. Beautiful vineyards, great hosts at each stop, and a real insight into the region and its wines. Every stop offered something different, and the whole experience was relaxed, indulgent, and unforgettable.

Our guide, Matt, was very knowledgeable about the events of the war. He also presented lesser known facts—sort of behind the scene facts that offered a different perspective than what one might have picked up in books or movies. His presentation was dramatic and respectful of the enormity of what was sacrificed during the invasion. Through it all he was very personal and approachable for questions. We appreciated his energy & enthusiasm.😊👏✋

(Translated by Google) A day of wine tasting in Saint-Émilion. A fantastic experience with Rodolphe, highly recommended. A true oenology expert, he explains everything in an easy and fun way. He also speaks English and Spanish (and of course French), so he clarifies anything you might not understand. The wineries were very different, and all had spectacular wines. Truly a 10/10 experience. (Original) Un día de catas de vino en Saint Emilion. Fantástica experiencia con Rodolphe, super-recomendable. Verdadero especialista en enologia, que explica todo de forma facil y divertida. Ademas, habla inglés y español (y por supuesto francés), con lo que te aclara lo que hayas podido no entender. Las bodegas muy diferentes y todas con vinos espectaculares. De verdad, un 10 de experiencia

Excellent. Learned a lot about wine in general and specially wine from the famous Saint Emilion region. Rodolphe was an awesome tour guide; funny, kind, very knowledgeable and passionate about wine. The tour van was very clean, new, and spacious. Would definitely recommend going during the slower season as it’s not as busy.

Laetita was a great guide. She told us an interesting thing about the local wine and the towns. She was cautious in her driving and was always well-prepared for the requested time. Great time.

Natale che confusione!!!

Ottima esperienza da non ripetere però durante il periodo dei mercatini natalizi: troppo caos. Molto belle le luminarie!

אווירה טובה ורגועה. הרבה מידע אך בקצב טוב, זמן גם לשוטט לבד. גם קיבלנו המלצות להמשך הטיול, אוכל ועוד. לאה גם העבירה לנו פרטים שביקשנו לצורך מציאת משהו שרצינו. היה מעולה! תודה רבה
