Reviews for Ophorus

Wonderful group tour

This was a perfect size group tour, and our guide was pleasant and full of knowledge about the chateau that we visited. It was nice to have someone else doing the driving so you could take in the scenery. It was a very enjoyable day!

Mont Saint Michel

We took this tour in early October. We meet our guide Nadege in Bayeux. Our first issue was finding parking. She was kind to help us and another couple get to the train station and park. We were a total of 4 couples in a large Mercedes van. Tight but comfortable We had about 1.5 hour ride to Mont Saint Michel and she shared with stories of its history. Upon arrival it was rainy, she was prepared with umbrellas if you needed one. She escorted us through the shuttle process. We went up through the village to the Abby. It did keep raining and it was a low tide. We ate lunch in the village which was nice. The Abby church was interesting but no art and the architecture was plain and functional. She took us through the Abby and we explored the village on our own. We recommend the tour with Nadege

Wonderful morning with Pauline as our guide. She was so knowledgeable about the region and took us to 2 marvelous, but very different, wineries. Would recommend 10/10

Omaha Beach - American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc

Our guide was Valentin and we took this as a private tour. He picked us up at our hotel in Arromanches on time and we traveled in a nice van. Our goal was the American Cemetery, Pointe du Hoc and WN-60. We saw all plus the Big Red One monument at WN-62. Valentin was knowledgeable and had a lot of pictures and maps to illustrate the action. He is young but we had very good conversations. We enjoyed our tour We recommend the tour with Valentin.

Our Medoc Wine Half-day tour from Bordeaux was very enjoyable. Our tour guide Lea did an excellent job explaining about this wine region, and the hosts at the two wine chateau also did an excellent job informing us.

We had a group of 7 from 3 different countries plus our tour guide, Adam. I think Adam is very passionate about his job. He was able to share the history so effortlessly throughout the journey. The tour was quite relaxed. The pace was just nice. Overall, I would say it's worthwhile and good.

This tour met our objectives. It was four hours long- enough to visit 3 sites. The tour guide was very professional, friendly and knowledgable. Valentin spoke excellent English with a classic French accent. He provided a non-stop running monologue on the highlights of the area, WWII and the sites we visited. It was a lot of information. The weather that day was cold, at times drenching rain and the wind by the beach was gusting extremely strong so it was rather unpleasant conditions but certainly gave a small indication of the awful weather the soldiers encountered. Normandy was a day trip for us from Paris. It worked out well. We took the 8:29am train from Gare St Lazare (although the 9:30 train would have been fine too) and we returned on the 6:39 pm train arriving in Paris around 9 pm. A long day but accomplished our mission. Bayeux is a nice small town.*But go Tues-Sun as Mondays everything is closed. A few restaurants opened at noon for 1hr-45m prior to the 2:00 tours.

we loved our guide Alex and his upbeat energy and enthusiasm; he spoke perfect English. great spacious Mercedes van made it very comfortable. Naturally one day is not enough to see all 3 locations in full details, leaving us wanting to return back for more .

Rudolph was fun and informative. He explained all about the wine and answered all of our questions. He played a game with the group where we had to guess scents in little bottles. It was so fun and interesting. The Chateau was lovely. Saint Emilion is an adorable town. Well worth the trip.

The perfect tour!

The perfect day tour! Our guide was fantastic, so passionate about the region and very knowledgeable about the history and all things wine. Three wineries + time in Beaune was exactly the right amount of things to do in that time to be left feeling accomplished without being exhausted. Worth every penny to have all the visits and driving coordinated, would've been hard to plan this kind of itinerary on our own.

It requires a lot of walking uphill at Les Baux to see beautiful vistas but worth the effort if you can. Camille was an excellent guide, personable yet professional. She knows so many of history’s back stories. Excellent use of time!!!!
