Incredible tour of pre-historic caves
Amanda_B, Dec 2024
Our tour guide, Benoit was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We learned so much about the ancient people of the region.
Seeing the caves in person was so inspiring and memorable. We highly recommend this excursion!
Solo Trip to the Dordogne

I took 3 different tours with both Anne and Martin as my guides. They were both incredible- so lovely, kind, and informative! I learned so much and had a wonderful time. Do not hesitate to book! Also good to note that I did not have a car so going on tours was very helpful.
Go to the caves!

Anne, our tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, attentive, accommodating and entertaining. The tour itself was amazing and a highlight of our trip. It is a tour not to be missed.
Wonderful Cave Tour
allenw226, Dec 2024
Toured the caves with Gabby Wise ([email protected]). Gabby arranged everything, including airport pickup and drop off. The caves were incredible, and Gabby obtained English-speaking tours, and went along with us. The lunches (restaurants picked by Gabby) were terrific, and the downtown hotel in Sarlat was impeccable! Gabby originally was from Australia, and she has been guiding in the area for 15 years. Her English was great - and she is fluent in French and German.
We would rate this private tour 5 stars plus!
Enjoyable and informative introduction to the abundant pre-history in the area near Sarlat-La-Canéda.

It was a most enjoyable day with a friendly and informative guide that took in the museum, Rouffignac Cave and Lascaux IV.
The guide on the tour and the guide in the cave were knowledgable about their subject and provided lots of background about the people and their way of living as well as their art.
I learnt a lot especially the surprising origin of the description Cro Magnon.
