About this experience

*** This tour is not accessible for people with reduced mobility *** Get in touch with your primeval nature as you discover some of the oldest relics of prehistory. Your private tour begins with a thorough demonstration of techniques used by Paleolithic humans to make fire, to illuminate the dark caves in which they lived, and to paint. After getting a taste of prehistoric life, you’ll head for an exclusive private tour outside of public opening hours into the chilly, dark caves to gaze upon cave paintings that date back over 30,000 years. Marvel at the evidence of a bygone culture that existed before civilization began. Wander through the caves, gazing at the veritable forests of stalactites, stalagmites, and columns. After a scenic drive along the Dordogne river valley with a quick stop at La Roque Gageac to take some pictures, you’ll make a private tour of Beynac, the best preserved medieval castle in France. Entrance fees for Cougnac and Beynac not included
