The caves were fantastic! We visited Lascaux IV and Font de Gaume. The first, although it is a replica, is super well done and very informative. The other is an actual 15,000 year old cave. Together they provided a beautiful and fascinating glimpse into early cave paintings. Christian was a great guide. He provided a lot of background information during the drive. Since we had a limited amount of time, it was really helpful to be transported directly to and from each location.

Full description

See the famous prehistoric cave paintings and explore the Dordogne region with a private English-speaking driver-guide. Depart from Bordeaux, and drive about two hours east, into the heart of the Dordogne.

The first visit is to the Grotte de Rouffignac, the cave of 1000 mammoths. For this visit you'll tale a ride on a small electric train deep into the cave to see some phenomenal drawings of horses, aurochs, bison, horned sheep and mammoths.

Then head to Les Eyzies-de-Tayac, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the first five skeletons of Cro-Magnon, the earliest known examples of homo sapiens were found. This is a good place to stop for a quick lunch. Next, drive to Lascaux to see the incredible new Lascaux international center for cave art, a truly impressive place.
