  If you wish to find out if a person is an official guide of the Dordogne, just ask them if they can conduct a visit in the Prehistroty Museum or a guided walking tour of Sarlat. If the answer is no, then they are not a fully registered tour guide!

This tour implies that you wear comfortable walking shoes. This tour is not adapted to persons with walking disabilities. You must be in a good physical condition to follow this excursion.

• Is the Gabarre boat ride worth it?

  The Gabarre boat were traditional River boats that sailed from the Quercy and Dordogne regions towards Bordeaux. The boat ride that we recommend departs from La Roque Gageac and follows the River Dordogne for a few miles. During the ride you will see the stunning landscapes including the limestone cliffs, the walnut groves and Dordogne forest. Other highlights include the Village or La Roque from the River, Marqueyssac castle & gardens and Castelnau castle. The boat ride lasts about 1 hour and is a great way to see the Dordogne from the River.
  
  Please note that in the Spring or Autumn season, it the water level is too high, the boats are not allowed to navigate. We can replace the boat ride with visits to castles or gardens located in the surrounding area.

  This tour is available everyday between April and end of October. The tour leaves, rain or shine!
