Michael kept me informed promptly, and thanks to the team’s flexibility, the tour went ahead as planned. Visiting Beynac, La Roque-Gageac, and Domme, together with the Dordogne River cruise, was one of the highlights of my trip to France. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and I learned so much about the history and culture of the Dordogne region. During the free time in each village, the guide also gave clear and thoughtful instructions about the meeting points and schedules, making the tour easy, comfortable, and enjoyable. I sincerely appreciate the attentive care and excellent guidance throughout the day. Thank you very much for making this such a memorable experience. I truly appreciate the kindness, professionalism, and flexibility of the entire Ophorus team. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Dordogne region.

Her deep local knowledge and ability to bring the region’s history and everyday life to life made the tour both informative and genuinely engaging. What stood out most was her emotional intelligence: she sensed the group’s energy and interests, adapted the pace and content accordingly, and made everyone feel included and at ease. She handled questions thoughtfully and created a warm, relaxed atmosphere while still keeping the logistics running smoothly, which speaks to her professionalism. As a native French speaker, her command of English is excellent—clear, precise, and nuanced enough to explain complex historical and cultural points without ever losing us. Thanks to Lena, the tour was not just a visit to beautiful villages, but a meaningful and memorable experience. I would highly recommend her to any English-speaking visitors to the Dordogne.

The icing on the cake was our guide Benoit who made all the difference.

We would still have enjoyed if not for the intermittent rain especially during the Dordogne boat ride. The commentary and explanation given during the boat ride was excellent and very informative.

The day was very hot so we appreciated the air conditioning in the van! The two towns are beautiful and quite walkable. In each town we were given an overview by the guide and given about half an hour to walk around. The boat ride allowed people to view the river landscape and the village and castle from the water. We would have liked to have visited the inside of the castle at Beynac but there wasn't time. Overall, it's a good tour to acquaint one with the 2 villages and the Dordogne River.

The cruise down the Dordogne River on a traditional Gabarre is also a highlight and the best vantage point to get photos of the villages & castles. The tours are with small, manageable groups, and the van comfortable and air conditioned. I was fortunate to have Anne on all three tours I did in the region with Ophorus. She was fantastic - knowledgeable, good fun, accommodated everyone’s needs which made the tour special for me! Highly recommend especially if you don’t have a car.
  The tour company do such an amazing job that I think they should offer full day village tours so that travellers can spend more time in each of the villages and/or see more of the villages (especially for travellers who don’t have a car). Thank you Ophorus…I had a wonderful experience!

We only had three days in the region and to begin with Maarten really gave us the perspective we needed to appreciate all that the region has to offer. Maarten clearly loves sharing his extensive knowledge with fellow travelers. He is warm and engaging and challenges you to imagine what life was like in the many layers of centuries we discussed and why it is important to understand why changes over time happened the way that they did. We really enjoyed the river ride on the gabarre too. Such a beautiful way to see La-Roque-Gageac from below. So impressive. I highly recommend this tour with Maarten! I hope to return again one day. Be sure to wear comfortable walking shoes!

Benoit provided good information about the area and he was very easy to understand. The amount of time spent in each of the 3 towns was just enough to get a feel for each small town. The river ride from La Roque-Gageac was pleasant, even though we had to take a different route due to too shallow water. I would definitely recommend this tour if you don't have a car in the Dordogne.

  together, so everything seemed to go like clockwork.
  The commentary was very interesting as Maarten has the ability to liven up
  history and bring places alive with stories and humour.
  He was at all times warmly relational and took care to give clear
  instructions when necessary. He drives safely and very skilfully in
  difficult situations.
  All round it was an excellent afternoon of generous sightseeing and
  learning.

He provided not only historical information but insights into life must have been back in the day. Views were outstanding and provided us with some classic images of the Dordogne.

  Our guide used a microphone so it was very easy to hear him. The tour was all in English. He took the approach that these were three different styles of medieval villages which made it very interesting. Each village was unique and he gave us a little time to wander in each one. The trip also included an hour boat ride on the Dordogne river which was wonderful, so don't book that as a separate tour. It was a very full afternoon but fascinating to see the differences in the three villages. Very good tour.

  I joined this tour in Mid-June, 2019. It was a wonderful tour -- I was able to visit beautiful villages, and the guide has excellent skill of English. Picturesque scenery is everywhere in this area, but few public transportation is available. So, a small group tour like this is very helpful.
  And thank you again Ms. F, I was very lucky because I had such a friendly guide like you!
