    Carolyne Z 20, Jun 2025 We had a great time on our exploration of Baden Baden and the Black Forest. Our van did get stuck in quite a bit of a traffic situation but it was handled calmly by most involved and resolved quickly. Our lunch stop in the Black Forest was delicious. Be prepared to climb a few steep hills and walk nature trails. Thank you for a lovely day.

    Deb Cairns and Jenny Clow 14, Jul 2024 Dear Ophorus,
    My sister and I would like to congratulate you on your wonderful tours.
    From Strasbourg we went to Colmar on July 12 and Baden Baden July 14.
    Both guides; Jeremy and Robin were exceptional in every way. Their knowledge of the areas, personalities and enthusiasm for their jobs was noticeable and this added to our enjoyment on both days.
    Thank you very much, these trips not only provided educational knowledge but genuine positive experience for us on history and life in this area of France. We continue to travel and will definitely be checking out your other tours.
    Regards
    Deb Cairns and Jenny Clow

    Nancy A 06, Sep 2017 The tour was run by Pauline from Ophorus Excursions. She was fabulous. There were 8 of us traveling in a comfortable van equipped with a driver PA system so we could hear everything she said. Her driving was safe. In Baden-Baden we took some time walking through highlights and the central park, then up into the old part of the city. We then drove to the black forest wine region where we stopped at several sights, including a winery.

    Tina Badley 01, Jan 1970 Our tour to the Black Forest in Germany was unforgettable. Our guide, Robin . Was so kind and knowledgeable. Absolutely the best! We saw the castle ruins. They are a photographers dream . Baden Baden is unique and interesting.The rose garden was in full bloom with hundreds of varieties . Mermaid lake is a jewel in the forest. To be with my daughter where so many of my favorite childhood stories were set! Stories like Hansel and Gretel and Cinderella! What a wonderful dream come true! The natural beauty of these timeless places will refresh your soul. Robin has a number of gems of little unexpected surprises to showcase the area that make this tour well worth every penny! He showed us a bit of the culture and location we would not have otherwise seen.Eating the most unrivaled blackforest cake on the veranda of the mermaid lake the Black Forest of Germany is an unrivaled memory.
