Douche was Dope-Great Guide
Our host Douche was phenomenal. She was so adept at tending to the group who came from diverse backgrounds. She was tuned in to us. And she was well-versed and knowledgeable about the wine region. She is a very good teacher. She is genuinely warm, open and curious with her clients. 5 stars ++ for Douche.

Laurence was a fun guide, very knowledgeable about the region and its history. She is a trained sommelier so she knew so much about the wines we tried. The wines were great. Half day tour was the perfect length of time. Small group allowed everyone to get to know each other.

The absolute best tour ever. Pascal was not only outstanding at driving but he was a wealth of knowledge about D day and what led to it, who , what and where. We visited all the allied invasion sites and learned what w occurring as it unfold. He also had many stories incidental to the battle and of course got us to the US Cemetery at 4:00 to see the flags being lowered and taps being played. Pascal is friendly, kind and teaches with passion. A must for any visit to Normandie

Great small group tour
What a great day touring the Alsace Region. Visiting the medieval villages and the castle that date back centuries. Our driver and guide for the day Jerome was fantastic with such a wealth of knowledge of this region from the borders swapping between France and Germany, vineyards and being in a small group made it even better. Thank you for a great day.

Excellent Prehistoric Dordogne Day Tour from Sarlat with Ophorus
Our day began just before 9 AM at the standard meeting spot that Ophorus uses for its Sarlat-based tours, just south of the historic center. Our family of four was joined by two American women. The guide Benoit used a headset while driving us in a comfortable Mercedes van so everyone could hear his English-language commentary clearly, even those of us sitting in the back. The tour, known on the Ophorus website as Journey into Prehistory: Museum, Lascaux IV & Rouffignac Cave, included four stops: 1. National Prehistory Museum in Les Eyzies 2. Rouffignac Cave featuring mammoth drawings 3. Lunch break in Les Eyzies 4. Lascaux IV, the recreation of the original cave paintings We were dropped off back at Sarlat by 6 PM. As first-time prehistoric cave visitors, this tour completely revised our preconceptions. We learned that during the Ice Age, people lived in tent-like structures on permafrost ground in a Dordogne that had few trees. They didn't live in the caves where we see their art. In fact, they may well have done most of their painting outdoors, but the cave paintings happen to be the ones that have survived over the millennia. Benoit's low-key style and clear explanations revealed both the certainties and mysteries of prehistoric life. One example: at the museum, he gave context to a 15,000-year-old burial of a woman at Saint-Germain-la-Rivière that contained 70 pierced deer teeth - each from a different deer and from distant regions, indicating her social importance. These details gave new meaning to what would otherwise be simply ancient artifacts. Note that at Rouffignac and Lascaux IV, site-specific guides take over. Our Rouffignac tour was conducted in French, with English language material provided on tablets, which might be useful to know beforehand. The tour covers much ground but is well-paced - we never felt rushed or overwhelmed despite the full day. Our children (ages thirteen and eleven) remained entertained throughout. The tour provides both the visual experience of the caves and the context needed to understand their significance.

The perfect day trip to St Emilion including 3 Chateau visits and wine tastings
This day trip was the perfect blend of organised activity (wine tasting), information receiving and free time to explore the stunning little village of St Emilion. Our guide Mathis was informative, professional and very good at his job.
