Our guide was outstanding. Knowledgeable, interesting, friendly and fun. As he grew up in the area, he was able to personalize the tour.

David was a truly wonderful tour guide. He spent time answering questions and providing information on the archaeological and historical background of the sites. We highly recommend this wonderful experience.

We actually took 3 tours with Exploreo, guided by David. We enjoyed all 3 very much. He is enthusiastic and well versed not only about the sites we saw, but also the history and geography of the area. The visits to the caves with Cross-Magnon art on the walls were eye opening. Also, the troglodyte sites were something I had never heard of before. We booked the tours via internet, using the information provided in one of Rick Steves travel books. David was quick to provide the information we needed and was able to accommodate the dates we had staying in Sarlat.
