What our guests say
“Myself and my two children did the Castles and Caves tour - what an absolutely amazing experience. Views out of this world! So much to see and do, we just loved it and most definitely will be back. Thank you!”
“We had the greatest trip! We loved your bike routes and all the hotels. Such a beautiful area with so many picturesque villages and so much to do. Thank you for an amazing Dordogne Experience!”
“We loved our Dordogne experience. It was really great. The food, accommodation and the route were all excellent. The weather was very hot and sunny and although it was a challenging walk at times, it was always wonderful to arrive and have a delicious cold beer and often a swim too. Many thanks!”
“In August we did a walking holiday of the Dordogne region and included Rocamadour to finish. Dordogne Experience were really helpful leading up to our walk and we were very pleased that everything went as planned. The walking tracks were very well mapped out and really interesting and beautiful. The hotels exceeded expectations and all of the meals included were of good quality. We would recommend to anyone that want to see France in a slow and relaxing way.”
“Thank you so much for giving us a fantastic holiday walk – probably the best we have had in 25 years of trekking and cycling in France. The route was superb, through wonderful countryside, and the accommodation/meals couldn’t have been better, or the owners and staff more friendly and helpful. The route instructions were certainly the best we’ve experienced. The fact that we went on this year from the Dordogne to stay in a lovely gite in the Auvergne certainly made this one of the most perfect holidays we’ve ever had in France. Again, thank you.”
“It was a beautiful experience as we traveled through villages, fields, old roadways, scenic vistas and beautiful countryside. The hotels at the end of the day were awaiting our arrival, clean and comfortable. The food was fresh and a wonderful French culinary experience. Served hot croissants each morning, our trail notes guided us along and we were pleased with the organization and assistance. Not only a hiking organization, Dordogne Experience is a small, attentive travel consultant and available to assist with needs along the route and with arrangements. Thanks, we had a great time.”
