Reviews
Francesco was an outstanding tour leader: professional, friendly, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made every effort to ensure we had a memorable experience and always felt well looked after. Even though the tour could accommodate up to eight people, only the two of us booked at the last minute. Rather than cancelling or scaling back the experience, Francesco made us feel special and provided a personalised tour. The villages we visited and places we went and we wouldn’t know about if not for his recommendation, were stunning, full of charm and character, and are an absolute must-see. Highly recommended! PS: We learned a lot of details about wines and wine making process because of his wealth of knowledge and experience.
It was a good introduction to Sarlat, but not to the market. We really spent almost no time visiting the market. I am disappointed.
This was an amazing tour from start to finish! The guide we had was fantastic. He spoke extremely well enthusiastic clear and was totally into his job. We all loved it and you could tell he loved what he did. I highly recommend this tour.
