It was an easy day; Anne picked us up in Sarlat as arranged, and drove us in a very nice van. We shared the trip with three others — there was plenty of room. We appreciated that Anne took us to see Rocamadour from across the valley first, then showed us our rendezvous point, then drove us to the top of the hill/cliff/mountain! Anne shared history with us and entertained my very bad but best attempts with speaking French. We had time to browse the village and get a cafe. We were back in Sarlat on time. A very pleasant day! Thank you, Anne!

Interior of chapel interesting & attractive, Dioramas depicting “Stations of the Cross” a bit tired looking. Avenue through village interesting but standard Tourist strip. Scenery on Villages of the Dordogne Tour stunning also. Domme was highlight of this Tour & could easily have spent more time here. ( Fantastic viewing point & interesting array of eclectic artisan produce & crafts & of course bars & coffee shops. Spectacular vista above Beynac & interesting to wander down through the village. Scenery on boat trip interesting ( particularly view & history of La Rocue-Gageac ) but difficult to hear audio guide in English while Boat Tour Guide delivering spiel in French very loudly to of course mostly French speaking customers.

      Our trip to Rocamadour was beyond excellent. We did not even notice the cloudy, drizzly weather because Bernoit took such great care of us. It is a tour I will never forget.I highly recommend it.
