As of April 10th  2008 we will be adding “Hell’s Gorge” to our already fantastic list of day trips.  This trip will take you to some wonderful and exciting places somewhere along the Vezere Valley. Caves, rock overhangs & shelters, trogladytes, ruin of a templars hospital, ancient villages excellent views of the Vezere Valley and lots more. This trip is suitable for all ages, a certain level of fitness is required ( lot’s of uphill and climbing & crawling) and lasts about 4-5 hours.

Below are photo’s taken on “Hell’s Gorge” trip.

Due to the fact that Walking Dordogne has recently been mentioned in a few well known guide books and published on a few web sites, means the interest and bookings have gone through the roof, and we are already fully booked for May and only have a few places available for June. September and October are filling up as well.

July and August gets very… VERY  busy in this region, and we can no longer guarentee the same experience  you would get from our tours if booked outside these two months, for this reason we are no longer taking bookings for TOURS in July & August. However we will be offering day trips in the Vezere Valley (see valley of the Neaderthal) and Horse riding, sorry no canoeing, cycling or scenic tours in July or August.     

Lots of people contact us and ask us why we do not take larger groups?..  We strongly believe that taking small groups is one of the things that makes us so populer, our groups are never larger than 5 people 4 + guide (under certain circumstances we will take larger groups if they book as a group). By taking small groups  you can bond with your group, decisions are easy to make,the tours have a more personal touch, and we will be able to call you by your real name (very difficult to do with groups of 20+)  Not to mention that we take our groups to and into caves, ledges, shelters etc. Our groups really experience something unique, and that experience would be lost in a large group.

We have listened to our customers wishes and have been very busy putting together some amazing and unique horse trips, and some overnight horse treks.
