My wife and I visited the Dordogne region and stayed in Sarlat. The region is beautiful, but it is difficult to see it without renting a car. We decided to take an all day tour that brought us to the Padirac caves and Rocamadour. What a great decision! Our tour guide was absolutely phenomenal. She was so kind and accommodating... More

This area is so pretty - scenery is breathtaking. The castles and medieval villages are amazing and so much history. The guide was fantastic! She knew so much about the history of the region and spoke very good English. It felt like we were being shown around by a good friend. We loved the tour and we also took the... More

It was just a-ma-zing. A great moment with our very clever guide who learned us a lot of things. Thank you ! Sarlat is a beautiful city and the castles are very interesting. We hope to come back very quickly because all the excursions seems to be amazing ! I'm very lucky to chose this excursion and I say thank... More

This tour was organised via the internet some months before we left. We found the company most helpful in making arrangements. Our queries were promptly and efficiently answered. The tour was first class. As it was early in the season the two of us were the only ones on it, which made it very intimate. Our guide was a charming... More

The guide was very professional throughout the day. The National Prehistory Museum is a splendid museum but it has lots of artefacts. The guide directed us to the most important pieces and was very skillful in explaining them. The Rouffignac caves are less well known than Lascaux but they are as impressive to discover. These three visits made us understand... More

Thoughtful and well-planned tour by Ophorus co-owner, Nancy. Includes interesting limestone cave (Padirac), Rocamandour and Les Jardins du Manoir d'Eyrignac. Van can only escort 9 persons and thus avoids most issues encountered on the larger tour buses. Nancy was responsive to all questions and special requests. Highly recommended.

For anyone visiting this area of France i could not recommend these tours highly enough. The groups are small so that you never had to struggle with having your questions answered, and the guide was very knowledgable and attentive. After we went on the first tour and were so thrilled with all that we had seen and learnt we were... More
