France · DORDOGNE TOURS
Every trip has one free day too few. These 4 dordogne tours justify the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes.
At Lascaux IV, you follow the complete replica of the famous cave, then explore six exhibit areas at your own pace. French, English, and Spanish guides are available, with audio guides in nine languages. Arrive early, since bags and strollers go into free lockers.
“Amazing guy (Dany)! Immense knowledge and very entertaining and funny!”
You paddle your own canoe or kayak from the Canoes Loisirs base near Domme toward Beynac, passing La Roque-Gageac, Castelnaud, Beynac, and several castles. There is no guide, but the calm river is easy to follow. Stop for a picnic, swim, or village visit, then take the shuttle back.
“The trip down the Dordogne River was beautiful and just as you’d expect. As for Canoës Loisirs, their employees were very kind and helpful, and I felt comfortable kayaking down the river with their guidance. The shuttle pick up was very prompt and on time, and the driver was also kind and help. 10/10.”
From Sarlat, travel in a small group of up to eight to Domme, Beynac, and La Roque-Gageac. Guides including Lena, Benoit, Anne, and Martin explain the region’s past, while a traditional gabarre offers an hour on the Dordogne.
“Our guide Florence was informed, personable and able to deal with certain adversities presented by the group.”
Spend nine hours with an English-speaking guide visiting Lascaux IV, Rouffignac, the National Prehistory Museum, and La Roque Saint-Christophe. Small groups of up to eight travel by comfortable van, with guides such as Anne, Lena, Benoit, and Marion bringing Dordogne’s prehistoric art to life.
“This was a perfect way to see and learn about Lascaux and other caves in the area. Marion was the perfect guide, giving us lots of background information and driving us through the countryside rather than getting us straight from Sarlat to Montignac. A delightful day on which we learned a lo.”
Pick a city, a coast or a cellar.
