Reviews for Ophorus

I only wish we had more time

I couldn't have asked for a more knowledge, thorough, passionate and experienced tour guide. My husband and I are big WWII buffs and (because of our limited time in Normandy) had considered doing a self-guided tour of Normandy. We are so grateful that we went with this tour and lucky enough to have Matt as a guide. He was knowledgeable beyond any source we'd be able to get our hands on. The stories told were well representative, authentic, and honored all countries of the War. I only wish we could have taken a full day tour with him. To top it off, we happen to be at the Normandy American Cemetery during the 81st anniversary of D-Day ceremony that was attended by 23 WWII veterans. I truly cannot believe how lucky we were to witness this once in a lifetime experience. In addition, the customer service provided through Ophorus was very responsive and accommodating to my family's needs. Should I have the opportunity to come back to Normandy, I'd most definitely book a tour through them again!

A unforgettable experience exploring the Alsace region!

Ever since I read about it in a textbook when I was a teen, I've always wanted to visit the magical Alsace region and see the picturesque half-timbered houses. My husband and I did this experience as part of our honeymoon and it was one my favorite days of the entire trip! Roxanne was our guide. She was really friendly and knowledgeable. She shared really interesting facts throughout the entire day. Through her, I learned about the history of all these villages, as well as local food and drinks of the region. It was also cool to learn about which movies have drawn inspiration from the Alsace region of France, like Howl's Moving Caste (Colmar) and Beauty and the Beast (Riquewihr). The drive was absolutely gorgeous and scenic. Overall, it was a 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend to anyone who is considering it.

Wonderful day in the left bank!

Wondering day tasting wines in the left bank, Medoc area. We also were able to see a variety of chateaus and our guide helped us choose a lovely restaurant for a quick lunch (not included in the price, but there were many good options for a quick lunch). Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful.

We recently toured Lascaux IV with Ophorus Tours, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Lena, was exceptional—she shared her deep knowledge of the region, guided us to fascinating landmarks, and seamlessly connected the sites to the story of early mankind. Our small group quickly became friends, and Lena’s warmth and expertise gave us a richer, more personal encounter with the ancient art of the cave paintings.

Pascal is as an excellent guide. He was very detailed and described the battles well. He truly made us care about the many heroes of the day with the many in depth stories he recounted. He brought the history to life.

Classic French coast

Worth it!!!! Cassis is touristy but you must see it, the boat ride is a nice touch and lunch in the harbor is busy but fun, and then finally a visit at a local winery in Cassis was a nice finale!

Great tour and tour guide

Our tour guide was a lovely English man named Matt. He was very animated, well informed, funny, and made the experience worth the train ride. He went into great detail about the history of the war and talked about interview details from those who knew were alive during the war. I recommend all who take this tour with Matt.

Recommend this tour!

Our guide was a native to the region and was able to share a lot of knowledge. Not only of the history on the tour but of the region currently. He was also very accommodating to our group. The others in the group we met were great, also interested in exploring and even though the weather tried to literally dampen our spirits we had a wonderful tour anyway.
