In spite of the chilly temperature and occasional showers, our driver/guide Lina did an excellent job of describing the history of the area and answering our group's MANY questions!

Anne was an excellent guide and host for the day, driving us the one hour from Sarlat to Rocamadour. We learned a lot about the city on the way there, and she pointed out interesting places on the drive. Rocamadour is an incredible site, and she allowed us to see it from all vantage points before taking us on a tour of the city itself. Highly recommended way to spend four hours!

We did our own half-day tour. When driving from Sarlat to Rocamadour, be sure to include the town of La Cave. The Château perched on the rocky cliff face is a sight to behold and gives you a pre-teste of what is coming at Rocamadour. By using this route, you will arrive at the top car parks at Rocamadour, assisting your visit. The walk to the village of this famous religious city, which clings to a vertiginous rock face, along the foot path, offers fantastic views of the remarkable buildings. The architecture defies the laws of gravity to soar towards God. The city was built by and for pilgrims. You simply must pay Rocamadour a visit.
Very rushed tour of...

This was a fabulous tour! Lena was the guide and it was a very small group. The tour allows you enough time to enjoy the town.. Lena took us around but then gave us some free time. I also was with Lena the prior day for the 3 villages and enjoyed that with her also. She was a terrific guide. Nice manner about her and very knowledgeable.
Stunning town

This would be one of the most beautiful towns in France that I have ever visited. It is absolutely stunning. We walked down the zigzag path, passing the 12 Stations of the Cross and there is information on all of them in both French and English. My daughter and I walked along the main street and then caught the lift which went half way to the top and transferred to cable car to the top. It was interesting to see all the houses and buildings built into the side of the hill, which is even more spectacular from the opposite bank, giving an excellent view. My only regret is that we had not booked our accommodation in Rocamadour rather than a nearby town. I would love to visit again and stay a couple of days and soak up the atmosphere. We then had lunch at a restaurant at the top but unfortunately I did not note the name!
Great tour

We had a great afternoon with our guide, Benoit. Domme is a pretty village & we enjoyed the boat ride very much. Begnat & the drive by Castel Noud were great, too.

We did the cave tour the day before and were delighted to see our guide Martin again. It was a smaller group to Rocamadour, so it was fewer people interrupting his excellent storytelling. We began at the end of the via dolorosa and worked our way down, which is easier than going up the stairs. The shrine of the Black Madonna was intensely sacred. Like the caves, don’t take pictures of her! Sit and contemplate the mysteries.
