Reviews
We loved visiting the beautiful Dordogne area with our knowledgeable guide. There were no crowds and wonderful photo opportunities. Thank you!
Magali is an excellent tour story teller. We enjoyed a private tour exploring the amazing landscape of Normandy for half a day. Her in-depth knowledge made the experience even more beneficial and meaningful. Coming from America we learned so many things about World War II and specifically the Normandy invasion. It was a rainy day, but the ground we covered was significant. Was it over four hours? Was it over four hours?
The tour was packed full of stops. Our guide did a good job of walking us through the highlights of the museum. I would have liked some time to view the mini videos, they were well done. I mostly enjoyed La Roque de St Christophe. Steep climbs but so worth it. I also was pleased that our driver took us to the original Lascaux cave discovery. We couldn’t get in but it set us up for touring Lascaux 111. Our Doucet at the site spoke very quickly and appeared very scripted. I enjoyed the tour through the reproduced caves. The technology in the exploration section was disappointing and the film needs some work to make it more informative . A good day. Thank you.
