Fantastic - David was an excellent guide and driver, explaining everything in clear English. The tour was private, meaning that we could select from sightseeing options and that there were no other people in our tour. David showed us the prehistoric caves of Cougnac , showed us Beynac Castle, and other sites, and gave detailed remarks about the history,, geology and geography of the Dordogne area. He was professional and polite. We recommend him and this tour very highly.

Dordogne valley 1/2 day tour. - We started the day at the Rouffignac cave where we saw pre history cave drawings. We went to a 12th century church and then our guide David made a reservation for my wife and I for lunch at a very good local restaurant in St Leon sur Vezere. We both had duck and it was delicious. We toured a manor house and castle and then went to a castle built into a cliff that was also a prehistoric cave dwelling. David was very knowledgeable about the caves and castles that he took us to. He was very helpful and his van was clean and comfortable. We are very glad that we took this tour. I don’t think we would have gotten the most out of our time doing these sites by ourselves.

Good trip - Lovely half day trip with very knowledgeable and kind David. Very much recommend. Only criticism is that the tour only lasted 3 hours, so for the price we would have loved it to last the full 4. However, we did learn a ton
