4-hour Sarlat tour to Beynac and Domme, plus a Dordogne gabarre cruise from La Roque-Gageac with an English driver guide.
“The trip to Domme, Beynac and the Dordogne boat ride was as described and we had had a lovely time. The icing on the cake was our guide Benoit who made all the difference. He was an excellent driver and gave us a descriptive insight of the history and the entire Sarlat region comprising of Domme and Beynac. We would still have enjoyed if not for the intermittent rain especially during the Dordogne boat ride. The commentary and explanation given during the boat ride was excellent and very informative. We wish all the best to Benoit👍”

Walk Sarlat with an English guide, hit the market on a tasting day, and sample Dordogne specialties plus local wine in 2 hours.
“The tastings were good. 4 types of cheese at our first stop. 3 types of wine (including walnut wine) at the second stop. The wine was accompanied by fois gras, pork tenderloin cooked in duck fat and garlic, and a cheese that had a walnut wine soaked rind. The third stop was walnut cake, walnut crocante (cookies) and walnut/caramel tart. The serving sizes could be best described as morsels or bite-sized. Benoît, our guide, was pleasant but pretty low key and soft spoken. He shared adequate historical information about Sarlat and the food produced in the Périgord region. He also took the time to point out recommended restaurants. He just…”
