Great Introduction to Sarlat

This tour is a great way to gain a quick understanding of the town and the history of Sarlat and its main two outdoor markets, along with some of the best cheese and other markets in town. We discovered some great regional food and wine that we purchased to bring home. Benoit was a delightful tour guide, and the whole experience was very entertaining.

Getting the history of the area was a huge plus

Amelie was fantastic. During the one hour drive to Albi she perfectly captured the history of the area from the Roman times to Louis IVX, which provided a tremendous amount of context to the day in general. That history and perspective that she provided all the way through our wine tasting at the end of the day really gave a complete experience. The three locations on this tour are great intros to the Tarn region in France.

Worst service experience with no recovery

The local tour operator made an error and booked us for the 31st instead of the 13th on a private tour. They offered a group tour with unacceptable terms and we had to downgrade from a full day to half day to eventually secure a tour. Not possible to reach Viatour - just the local operator. We had to wake up at 6:30 for no reason on vacation. No make good/recovery offered for extreme inconvenience and disappointment.

Bordeaux 8 hour wine tour

We had a great day visiting wineries and touring St. Emilion. Our tour guide, Luigi, was fantastic. He was personable, knowledgeable, kind and attentive. St. Emilion is beautiful and a “must see” when visiting the area. The wineries we visited were enjoyable and informative about the wine making process in the region. I highly recommend this tour.

A fantastic day trip full of magical places. Our guide (I'm sorry I didnt catch his name, but he has a 3mth old baby boy, Raphael) was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable about Alsace and was also friendly, funny and a very safe driver (I am usually a bad passenger but I felt safe even up the winding roads to the castle on the hill). Everything about the tour has been wonderful and we have arrived back at our hotel exhausted but very happy. Thank you for a great day, we would recommend this tour to anyone and will definitely join you for one of your other tours next time we visit your beautiful part of France. 10/10 🤩

I cannot track down an earlier review that I wrote, very favorably and deservedly praising our full-day tour of St Emilion and three vineyards. In that review , I realize I d’ailée to correctly name our guide, who was delightful. The young woman’s name is Dulce, and she is wonderful: knowledgeable, personable and with an endearing sense of humor. She leads one of the chateau tours, and she was excellent! This was my 5th wine tour, and for the first time in awhile, I learned something nee! She was wonderful

Guide Charlene was quite good but sometimes was not waiting for everyone to be within hearing range. Good recommendation re lunch: crepes was a good choice.

We had an incredible half-day tour of the US D-Day sites with Pascal. As a former gendarme and having served in the military, he brought to life the approach strategies used by the troops, and the challenges they faced. His stories about individuals and their families were also very powerful. We learned a lot and came away with a deep appreciation for the sacrifices made and the critical role the US troops played in the liberation of France. Would highly recommend Ophorus tours and Pascal!

This was an outstanding half day tour. Valentin was our guide and was incredibly knowledgeable and really brought D Day to life. He really has a great presentation style and provided great detail. I highly recommend requesting him.

Beautiful Alsatian villages

Our guide was Roman. He’s very friendly but you’re not going to get many details from him. The overall tours with the towns, you’re on your own. We didn’t really learn much about them. In Colmar, the tour described a guided tour, but we were just dropped off. When we arrived at the castle, Roman did arrange a nice detailed tour with a guide there named Fiona. He was a safe driver and with this tour we appreciated not having to drive there, especially to the castle where parking was non existent.
