Reviews for Ophorus

We have made two tours with Lena; she is an excellent, experienced, knowledgeable guide and very personable. We love her! She made both experiences a pleasure for us. Thank you, Lena.

This was the perfect overview of D-Day and Normandy beaches for a half-day time we had. Matt was enthusiastic and informative, explaining the context of various sites. He packed 6 hours of information into a 4-hour tour. Highly recommend!

I thought I just booked a shuttle ride with Abbey tickets. We got that and Mont St Michel was awesome. The added bonus was getting a driver called Matt from Orphorus tours who entertained us there and back with funny, sad, and interesting stories covering lots of topics but particularly D Day. His knowledge was amazing and I wont forget this entertaining trip.

Tour of Alsace

Carlos was very well-informed, communicative, engaged, and helpful with navigating the Castle tour as well as with restaurant recommendations for lunch and dinner. We saw several beautiful towns, the storks were on full display, the Castle views were certainly worth the climb, and the white asparagus is in season!

This was the highlight of our trip! Our tour guide Valentin was so knowledgeable. You could tell he was very passionate about the subject. I learned a lot about wine in Dijon, and everything we tried was very good. I highly recommend this tour.

St. Emilion definitely worth seeing

Although a full day tour would probably be better, if you have limited time this is a great way to see St. Emilion

Viva la Beaune

We really enjoyed the wineries that Adam chauffeured us to in Pommard and Auxey-Duresses. The wines at Chateau de Melin and Domaine Coste-Caumartin were great and our hostesses were brilliant. A great tour.

St. Emillion region wine tour

The day was lovely and weather perfect. We visited 1 winery before lunch. It was simple and good intro into the countryside and process. Wines were good. We tasted 4 wines at each of 3 stops. We went to St. Emilion for lunch but did not get much info or direction in the town. The town is very hilly and walking is very difficult. It is exceedingly charming and well worth the visit. Our guide was delightful but confessed she was new on the job. We did not get a lot of local information or just general information as we went along. More info on the wine country would have been interesting. As far as tourist info we discovered to our dismay that smaller towns do not accept American Express credit cards. We found that cash was still widely used. Overall the tour management was great and directions were clear and frequent. I would comfortably recommend this group and use them again. They were on time and well organized. Our small group was all English speaking and very compatible. Great job!

Great half day at Chambord

We enjoyed our private tour with Charlene. She was very informative, personable, and so patient. We had a million questions and she answered them all. There were large groups everywhere and it was nice to have her to ourselves. The pickup and drop off at our hotel made everything so easy. A half day was perfect for our mobility level.

Thus was quite possibly the best tour we’ve ever taken! Victor was so well studied in the war and the D-day battles, he was able to answer every question before we even asked it!! Amazing tour. Highly recommend!!

Thierry was a perfect host for the tour. We stopped at 2 wineries, Noelle Bachert and Durmann and really enjoyed their hospitality and the wines we tasted. Well done Thierry.

Tour guide Victor/Vic was very informative, enthusiastic. He is very knowledgeable & loves to share. It meant more having a guide to explain what, where & when events happened at the Normandy D-day sites. Plus local information not found in books. I recommend Vic & this tour. 🙂

Best decision to take this tour!

Carlos was an outstanding guide. We covered a lot of ground, leaving Strasbourg just after 9 am and visiting much of Alsace. Carlos was friendly, accommodating, and knew his history extremely well. He is multilingual, which came in handy on the tour. We decided to do this tour at the last minute, and it was a great decision. We left with lasting memories of a beautiful and historic part of France.

Great small group - Solo/Couples

This was a great tour Amelie gave history facts and stories while we were going to and from the different destinations. This helped give us a sense of what to expect and when we arrived we got tours of all the city’s interest areas and plenty of time to go back and visit museums and explore the city. Great views and hidden scenic views for pictures!
