Passionate and exciting

5.00Punctual, passionate and exciting, David shared with us some of the treasures of this magnificent region: Beynac Castle very impressive, Roque-Gageac on the cliff side, Domme overlooking the Dordogne and the partly Romanesque church of Carsac. His electric VW van is great. Especially pleasant because a mild weather with a large blue sky protected us. To contact again if we return to the area for a more prehistoric trip.

5.00David was an excellent guide, easy to talk to, well informed and interesting. His selection of sites and places to visit in four hours around Sarlat would have taken us a couple of days to accomplish! We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it.
Lovely afternoon in the Dordogne Valley.

5.00What a perfect afternoon! David provided enough information to be interesting without overloading us with facts. But he also had an answer for every question we had. David picked us up near our Airbnb in medeival Sarlat and took us to several locations. It was great to have someone drive us straight to where it was convenient to be dropped off and he provided just the right amount of information. Highly recommend!
Perfect tour with the best tour guide

5.00David 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.
Great tour!

4.00Lovely 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
