Get in touch with your primeval nature as you discover some of the oldest relics of prehistory. Your private tour begins with a thorough demonstration of techniques used by Paleolithic humans to make fire, to illuminate the dark caves in which they lived, and to paint.

After getting a taste of prehistoric life, you’ll head for a private tour into the chilly, dark caves to gaze upon cave paintings that date back over 30,000 years. Marvel at the evidence of a bygone culture that existed before civilization began. Wander through the caves, gazing at the veritable forests of stalactites, stalagmites, and columns.

After a scenic drive along the Dordogne river valley with a quick stop at La Roque Gageac to take some pictures, you’ll make a private tour of Beynac, the best preserved medieval castle in France.
