Custom and private tour packages in France: how we design your trip ✨

Beyond our scheduled small‑group packages, Ophorus designs fully private, custom tour packages for travelers who want France built around their interests, pace and dates. Whether you are two people or a family or friends traveling together, our travel designers and driver‑guides work together to create a seamless journey.

🧩 What is a custom private package?A custom private package is a multi‑day itinerary created just for your group, which can include:

• Tailored routing across one or several regions (for example Bordeaux & Dordogne, Alsace & Burgundy, Normandy & Loire, French Riviera)ophorus+2
• Private transport with driver‑guide or separate driver and guide where needed
• Handpicked accommodation in 3–5* hotels, boutique properties or châteaux
• Pre‑booked activities such as winery visits, market tours, museum entries and shore excursions
• Free time built into the program so you can explore or relax

You decide how structured or flexible you want each day to be.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who are custom packages ideal for?

• Families and multi‑generational groups (4–12+ guests) who need a pace that works for everyoneophorus+1
• Groups of friends celebrating a birthday, anniversary or special occasion
• Wine & food lovers wanting access to specific regions or appellations (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace)ophorus+1
• Themed trips, such as WWII history in Normandy, château stays in the Loire, or art and culture combinations

Because your transport and hotel choices are private, we can adapt start times, stops and visits to suit your preferences and energy levels.

🧭 How we plan your private itinerary

1. Listen – you tell us your dates, group size, preferred regions and any must‑see places
2. Design – we propose a draft route with suggested overnight stops, highlights and estimated budget
3. Refine – together we adjust the itinerary, hotel category and activities until it feels right
4. Confirm & support – once confirmed, we handle bookings and provide on‑the‑ground support during your trip

We use our own deep experience in regions like Bordeaux, Dordogne, Alsace, Burgundy, Loire, Normandy, Provence and the Riviera to suggest realistic, well‑paced routes.visiter-bordeaux+3
