Reviews for Ophorus

Outstanding!

who tells amazing stories that are truly inspirational! Super friendly and super knowledgeable. It is obvious that he LOVES what he is doing and it made the tour of the American Cemetery, Point du Hoc, and Omaha Beach truly come to life. He did not waste a minute of our time but rather worked hard to fit in every ounce of information. He also allowed us reflection time at the sites to explore a bit on our own. He is funny and cares deeply for the powerful legacy of Normandy. The van was comfortable, too. Highly recommend!!

Amazing!!! Do it!

Tour guide was amazing (Violetta). She really catered the trip to us, asking what we wanted to do first due to the weather & our energy levels. She was super informative at the castle & about the Alsace region in general. Even took us to beautiful view points of the town to take pictures. Only part that could’ve been a bit better was the wine tasting. The wine was great, same with the company but it was in a little store with no chairs versus an actual winery. We spent about an hour there trying really good wines but it was kind of random. I would say this tour is an amazing way to see 2 towns, try some wine & also get a very informative tour of the castle! Vehicle was air conditioned too & plenty of places to stop to go to the bathroom if we needed! It was a group of 5 of us & then 3 others so it was a small enough tour that could be customized

Not just a wine tour

A perfect package, well executed by a passionate professional guide. An excellent blend of travelogue, wine appreciation and historical walks.

perfect afternoon with wine

Super laid back afternoon with a comfortable drive, friendly and knowledgeable guide, and beautiful scenery. We stopped for tours and tastings at two family-owned wineries and had the benefit a professional sommelier (and all around great guy) as our guide. I won't forget this lovely experience and highly recommend it.

A lovely way to spend the afternoon in this beautiful part France.

Our guide was Ugo and he absolutely made our afternoon. He was welcoming, knowledgeable, engaging and passionate about his subject. The tour itself was very well organised, our mini van was comfortable and clean. The time at the chateau was so interesting and informative, Ugo answered all of our questions.

We had a very fun day with Matt to Mont Saint-Mitchel. Matt is an excellent tour guide & he cared for his clients very much. He's an on time person. We learned a lot about the history of Saint-Mitchel via Matt. He made sure we have enough time browsing this beautiful UNESCO. We definitely recommend friends & family this tour. Thank you Matt

Pascal was, above all, a smiling whirlwind of energy from the very start — bursting with knowledge, passion, and just the right amount of dramatic flair. He painted the horror of the Omaha Beach invasion so vividly that we could practically hear the chaos, then marched us through the bunkers at Pointe du Hoc like we were on a mission ourselves. And before we even caught our breath, he had already catapulted us back to Bayeux at invasion speed. A legend in tour‑guide form. Thanks from Croatian Team😉

Highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide, Juliette, was excellent. She made sure we saw all the key sites, she was knowledgeable and a very skilled story teller. This tour was one of the top highlights of our two week trip between NW France and London.

Highly recommend this tour. You will not be disappointed

This was an incredible tour. Victor was our guide and he made the tour very enjoyable. He was full of energy for the entire day, kept us entertained, and was extremely knowledgeable. He also made sure we got to the American cemetary in time for the flag lowering ceremony.

Unforgettable tour with Rodolphe!

We have just returned from an unforgettable day touring wineries in the Medoc with Rodolphe of Ophorus. We traveled in a very comfortable Mercedes van with a group of 6. We regularly arrange to visit wineries globally, but never do an organized tour. I am so glad we did this tour of 3 wineries “Chateau” with Rudolph. Each Chateau was inviting, very different and all very worthwhile. Rodolphe recommended 3 restaurants in Pauillac - we had lunch at Lafayette which was a delight. Rodolph’s endless firsthand knowledge of the region enriched the entire tour. Wonderful!

Excellent day out

Our guide for the day was Theo who was very knowledgeable on the subject he was speaking to us about, he also gave us a good insight in to the small details you may haven’t read about or seen in a movie.
