About this experience

Depart from Bordeaux - your hotel; train station; or cruise ship Lascaux Cavern in Dordogne is an unforgettable experience! Over 600 paintings cover the interior walls and ceilings of the cave. The paintings represent mostly large animals, and are around 17,000 years old. Enjoy sightseeing in France with Christian: your English speaking private driver guide. In addition to Lascaux, there are a handful of other caves in the Dordogne region. The grotte de Rouffignac, for example. Here you board a small electric train and ride down deep into a very large cavern. Its also called the cave of 1000 mammoths. Inside you’ll find colorful images of animals; horses, wooly rhinos, mammoths, antelope, saber-tooth cats, and even human figures. We'll also drive through La Roque Saint Christophe cliff settlement ruins and explore the lovely village of Saint Leon-sur-Vezere.

Traveling in the Dordogne with Christian to the Lascaux caves

Christian was a great guide for this tour and I would imagine for any tour. He is knowledgeable and patient…2 qualities to look for in a guide

via Viator

Jeanne S · October 2022

Great tour to Lascaux caves and knowledgeable guide!

Christian was professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant. (He speaks English and French fluently, Spanish (I think) and a smattering of other languages, too!) He arrived early at 8:20a.m. at the hotel for an 8:30 pickup, and was a very good driver. We felt safe with him. We arrived at Lascaux with 10 minutes to spare before our tour began. Lascaux was just wonderful ! It is a fantastic museum and exhibit, expertly done. We ate at the café de Lascaux. It was just a panini, but it was tasty. Christian then drove us to tour the caves at Rouffignac. Although we had never before heard of Rouffignac, it was very interesting. It took roughly 2-2.5 hours to return to the hotel. The ride was smooth.We got back to the hotel at about 5:30p.m. It was a long day for us, but very worth it.

Response from the operator: Merci gracieusement d'avoir pris le temps de me rendre cette evaluation positif. C’était un veritable plaisir de partager cette journée avec vous. Thank you! Should you decide to return to this region; I'd love to show you around the Basque Country, its marvelous!

Donald L · September 2022

Outstanding Tour

It was a perfect day. Christian is pleasant, knowledgeable and provided a comfortable ride. Lascaux is outstanding. The museum and tour were excellent, as is their restaurant. Rouffignac cave was a pleasant surprise. Tour was in French, but the guide was considerate of English-speaking visitors and answered questions when asked. It is a very fine tour.

Response from the operator: Merci Monsieur L ! It was a pleasure meeting you and showing you a little part of the Dordogne valley in Southwest France. There's lots more to see and visit in the Dordogne, and throughout the Southwest of France... I will petition the Grotte de Rouffignac to provide tours in English as well; perhaps someday this will happen.

Bordeaux to Lascaux and Dordogne Valley Private Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bordeaux.

How much does Bordeaux to Lascaux and Dordogne Valley Private Sightseeing Tour cost?

+

Prices start at $1270 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bordeaux usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Bordeaux to Lascaux and Dordogne Valley Private Sightseeing Tour take?

+

Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Bordeaux is not rushed.

Is Bordeaux to Lascaux and Dordogne Valley Private Sightseeing Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Bordeaux, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Bordeaux to Lascaux and Dordogne Valley Private Sightseeing Tour?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Bordeaux to Lascaux and Dordogne Valley Private Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Bordeaux to Lascaux and Dordogne Valley Private Sightseeing Tour?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Bordeaux can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Bordeaux and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Bordeaux to Lascaux and Dordogne Valley Private Sightseeing Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Bordeaux within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Bordeaux?

+

On Outty we rank every Bordeaux experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Saint-Emilion Electric Bike Day Tour with Wine Tastings & Lunch, Saint-Émilion Afternoon Tour - 2 Grand crus & French apéritif, "Bordeaux by bicycle: a 3-hour tour immersive experience". The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Bordeaux?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Bordeaux?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
