    Sue F 11, Jun 2026 Great Market & Culinary tour today in Sarlat. The explanation of the history of Sarlat and the architecture was really interesting and we saw and heard many things that we would have missed walking round Sarlat ourselves.

    Stuart 16, Sep 2025 The choice of retailers was excellent. They all had a story to tell, were passionate about their food and wine, and we loved the fact that their products were locally sourced. Our guide was fabulous, this was our third tour with Benoit, and he loves history and sharing his passion.

    Charlie 07, Jul 2025 This was our second tour with Benoit. He gave us a very good overview of the history of this tiny town. Even though we’ve been staying here for almost a week, he added a lot to our historical perspective. Benoit took us to three distinct places – one with a lot of wonderful traditional cheeses, the second with traditional duck dishes, and the third a cute little café, where we had an espresso and tasted some of the local sweets made with walnuts. Great tour— just way too short. This could be a much longer tour without any difficulty.

    Eileen B 19, Jun 2025 Interesting tour of the Saturday market and tastings of some of the local food- cheese,
    wine, foie Gras, walnut cake and pastries.

    Bryan L 07, Oct 2024 This walking tour through Sarlat on a market day was fantastic. The food and wine tastings combined with a little history of the region and the town were the perfect combination for an enjoyable morning. Ann is an informed and engaging guide who answered all the questions with a smile and made sure that we understood the answer. I HIGHLY recommend this tour.

    Gail Z 15, Sep 2024 Anne was consistently cheerful, knowledgeable about the entire
    Dordogne area, and particularly informative about Sarlat She
    answered any and all questions and introduced us to 3 extremely
    good sources for cheese, truffles, fois gras, and more. We were delighted with the tour.

    Lim Y. 28, Oct 2023 We went on a walking/food tour in Sarlat with a small group and it was absolutely amazing. The organization from the start was easy with responsive staff and good communication. The day itself was even better, our guide, Anne, was knowledgeable and entertaining, we tasted products from local businesses which were delightful. It gave us a really good insight into the area in that short period of time.

    Nikki 22, Oct 2022 End of October so only 3 guests on tour made for special experience. Our guide’s English was excellent. We walked the food market from end to end and also explored much of medieval Sarlat, including history and architecture had three tasting opportunities at special shops adjacent to the market. The Saturday market was very crowded as expected, so it made sense to do the tastings in shops, rather than in the market itself, which would have been nearly impossible to do. Highly recommend this experience.

    Jane a 29, Jul 2019 We had a very nice tour of Sarlat-la-Canéda by our guide Emillion.

    He not only took us around the market but also we went on some side streets and gave us a bit of
    history of Sarlat. We had tastings of foiegras, wines, walnut treats and cheese. Our group really
    enjoyed this tour.

    HW M 27, Jun 2019 Delightful intro to gourmet Sarlat

    This is our second visit to Sarlat and we still learned much from our charming and knowledgeable guide about the town, markets, and local producers. The stops for tastings of local products ranged from walnut candies, cakes and cookies to a variety of foie gras and sausages. The wine pairings were inspired and we learned to expandable beyond Monbazillac with foie gras. We discovered — and bought! — walnut jam, truffle sausages, several types of foie gras, truffle mustard, walnut mustard... a feast for all the senses. Many thanks Ophorus!
