Reviews for Ophorus

Just an overpriced taxi ride :(

Only giving any stars because our driver was great and the place was worth visiting. (We aren’t faulting our driver. They did let us know after we were already in motion that we we only purchased a ride). This is genuinely NOTHING more than a glorified taxi ride for 8 people. There is no “commentary”. Not a single tidbit of information about Mont Saint Michel except to avoid the overpriced omelets (we learned to also avoid the sandwiches. The first shop on the right sold us rancid ham sandwiches…inedible…no refunds) But when we signed up for a $114 per person “transfer” with “commentary” from a “knowledgeable driver” we thought that meant that we’d get some information during the ride then be left to explore on our own with the new “knowledge” we thought would be shared in the “commentary” , in mind. We chatted about random things here and there on the way, like regional foods and the driver pointed out when MSM came into view , but that was about it. Thankfully there was enough signal for us to google information, which is much less fun when we expected “knowledgeable” “commentary” Local hotels offer daily shuttles for MUCH less. And our family could have gotten a private *round trip* Uber for HALF THE PRICE. Either spend a bit more and get the guided tour and actually learn a bit about this neat place or save a bunch of money and get a hotel shuttle or Uber. We’ve purchased a LOT of tours through Viator and this one has been the ost disappointing in terms of what we paid vs what we got. What a shame.

Charming Alsace and informative tour.

Our guide Roxanne was very knowledgeable and informative. Her knowledge spanned the history of the region and she had special experience as an anthropologist so gave deeper insights. The villages we visited were all charming and we had plenty of time on our own for exploring.

Incredible Experience

We had an incredible day with Jerome and 6 other visitors from all over the world. Jerome was an excellent tour guide, we learned so much at all 3 vineyards, and each wine we tried was so delicious that we ordered bottles from all 3 places 😊 Also, the stop in Saint-Emilion was absolutely perfect. Overall, what a fantastic day - would 100% recommend this tour if you enjoy learning about and drinking wine!

Profunda decepción; Disney lo hubiese hecho mucho mejor y uno sabe que es fantasía. Esto ni fantasía ni realidad

Tenía mucha expectativa Sabía que era réplica. Tiene una entrada inentendible , adentro sistema Disney para entrar; luego adentro son réplicas buenas creo y termina esa media hora en un shopping.Estoy mas que seguro que Disney lo hubiese hecho mucho más ambientado y más excitante Yo visité en otros lados otras reales ,esta CERO emoción. Saber que no estuvieron ahí ,ni pintaron eso , viendo algo que youtube o libros muestran fue una profunda decepción .Recomiendo revisar a qué cueva se va, ya que hay reales

A perfect day

Husband and I signed up for the half day wine tour from Alsace. Arthur picked us up at the designated meeting point, he was prompt and we ended up on a private tour. The van was comfortable, he first took us to a lookout point overlooking the wine region. It was lovely, he pointed out the area sites and explained the qualities that make this region unique for growing certain grapes. We went to two wineries for tastings: Clos de la Treille, and Kaefferkopf. Both are family owned and run. The vintners each gave us a limited tour of their wineries and we tasted about 5 wines at each. Both wineries produce excellent wines, we were very happy with the winery choices. Arthur was an excellent tour guide. He spoke English very well and helped translate some of the vintners comments. He was patient, helpful, knowledgeable, and has a great personality for being a public guide. This was a wonderful half day tour!

Lawrence was a great tour leader. She had lots of interesting stories and good information. Although this tour is demanding she kept us on schedule. If you are not able to walk for considerable distances and climb flights of stairs you may want to consider a different tour.

Incredible full day D-Day tour from start to finish! Our tour guide Matt Turner was incredibly knowledgeable, with a real gift for storytelling. He weaved multiple stories beautifully together, giving us a rounded, inspirational and thought-provoking day. Some truly profound and emotional moments, skilfully delivered with a balance that delicately navigated the compassion, bravery, heroism and nuance of the dday context within the wider war. I am so grateful to have had Matt as our guide, and my step-son and I will never forget this experience. Thank you Matt, your passion - and compassion -for the subject is clear, and I can say with all my heart that you are truly appreciated for passing this on to us. Thank you forever.

Very enjoyable and knowledgeable tour guide! Guy was very well informed about the various points of interest on the way to and during our visit to St. Emilion. We learned a lot about St. Emilion and the surrounding wine villages. We really liked the pace of the full day tour. We did not feel rushed and having an opportunity to visit and sample wines from three different Chateaus was awesome! Enjoying the tour with other visitors also made the tour even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this full day tour if you want to get a true taste of St. Emilion and the surrounding wine villages!

Rodolphe was amazing! This was a very informative and excellent tour! Covered two chateaus and two tastings along with a tour of wine making at one of the chateaus. Rodolphe had a lot of knowledge of wine making and was extremely engaging as he kept us all regaled with funny stories and his general sense of humor! Highly recommended!
