Reviews for Ophorus

The chance to see the intricate architecture set into the rock face which was so ancient. A wonderful guide, Benoit, who explained where we were going and pointed out the notable features.

Small group and guide worth it.

Both chateaux are magnificent and you'll see enough but not have time for all rooms and outbuildings etc. We enjoyed the day and Ilya, our guide was interesting, very informative and a good host for the day.

Alsace is the best!

We travelled to Alsace again this year. We did not visit Strasbourg this time but tended to stay more in the country between Obernai where we stayed and Mulhouse. We flew into Basel/Mulhouse instead of Frankfurt, which is over a 4 hour drive, where Mulhouse is just over an hour. Which is a big difference when you're tired from flying over night. We love driving through the wine route in Alsace, with stops in Colmar. Colmar is great, I think they call it petite venice as they have canal rides through the town. My favorite spot is a resturant on the side the canal by the main bridge where you can watch the canal boats. Colmar is fantastic for walking around and dining outside. This year we visited the point where France, Germany and Switzerland come together. They have a monument, a bit anti-climatic but worth seeing in my view. Had lunch and picked up some nice swiss chocolate in Basel at the same time. We drove through Kaysersberg and what a beautiful town that would be to visit on our next tour and probably why Anthony Bourdain stayed there. Also visited the castle at Haut Koenigsbourg which is a must see in this area. Its an easy walk through but don't attempt it on a weekend or holiday, especially during a bike race! I've stayed in Obernai which is a very old town which has been around since like 7th century. I keep finding new places there everytime I go. Great resturants, although my favorites are Me'me and Winstub La Dime. We stayed in La Cloche this time but have stayed in Le Colombier in past. The Colombier has a huge breakfast buffet where La Cloche has the usual Alsatian breakfast fare and for the price, its worth it. I also must say that the staff at La Cloche is way more personable and friendly!

Great tour

My entire family enjoyed our tour of the D Day sites. Our tour guide was amazing and answered all our questions while personalizing it for us. She gave us ample time to explore and gave us information to find items of interest during our free time.

We had a great experience on our tour to St. Emilion. Our guide Dulce was knowledgeable and helpful. We went to three interesting and very different wineries. The highlight was St. Emilion, which is a gem. We had a rainstorm and bad traffic but it couldn’t mar the overall impression. Highly recommended.

The lady at Ophurus told us the driver would wait 10 minutes, we arrived only two minutes after the departure time, the driver was there, standing outside of the van, he got in and closed the door in our faces. He left without us, saying, "No, I don't want you." The tour office is not helping us at all and is not offering a refund, or even partial refund. Its our mother's 60th birthday today, beyond appalled. We were communicating with them via phone the entire time and the driver was actually here yet chose to leave without us.

Wonderful tour!

If you are a first time visitor to Bordeaux and not sure how to navigate winery tours this is the perfect option. Our group was very small and the wineries we visited were wonderful. We had plenty of time to eat and explore Saint Emilion which is an amazing little town. Anne was our tour guide and did an exceptional job of giving us history of the area and the vineyards we visited as well as ones we drove by. Book this, you won’t be disappointed! …Et Voilà!

-Unforgettable Matt-

Our experience at Omaha Beach was unforgettable, and much of that is thanks to Matt—an extraordinary storyteller and passionate historian. His delivery was nothing short of mesmerizing. With a deep knowledge of history and firsthand accounts from veterans, Matt brought the events of D-Day to life with such vivid detail that it felt as if we were walking through time. This wasn’t just a tour—it was an emotional journey. Matt’s storytelling gave us goosebumps and, at moments, brought tears to our eyes—tears of pride, compassion, and a profound appreciation for the sacrifices made for freedom. Especially for Americans, this experience resonates deeply. We can’t give Matt enough credit. If you haven’t experienced his tour for yourself, you’re missing out on a powerful adventure that leaves a lasting impact. It’s a moving reminder of bravery, brotherhood, and the true cost of liberty.

The Villages of the Dordogne tour was an excellent way to get to know the area around Sarlat. Each if the three villages are quite different and unique in their own way. Benoit was an excellent guide, very accommodating, extremely considerate, helpful and knowledgeable and focused on delivering the best tour possible. Thank you Benoit for providing such an excellent experience! I thoroughly enjoyed this half day excursion!
