Looking for a guided archaeology tour  around the ‘Cradle of Mankind’ in the Vezere Valley which includes Lascaux II, Font de Gaume, Sarlat and Les Eyzies?  A small group tour with your own guide/interpreter and everything included?  

Then our guided archaeology tours could be just right for you! And you get great value because you book direct.

“My father had long wanted to see the caves in the Vezere Valley. When I thought about planning the trip it seemed impossible, the driving, finding places, booking tickets, where would we stay, where would we eat?” Then I found your website - and there it all was, your Guided Archaeology Tour was exactly what I needed! And good value too.”

 

You stay in the Vezere Valley - 10 minutes from Lascaux and near many other sites, such as Font de Gaume, Les Combarelles, Sarlat & Castelnaud - an awe-inspiring medieval castle towering over the Dordogne river. Click here to find out more about the accommodation.

Professional English-speaking guide…

Your guide for the week is professional archaeologist and historian Steve Burman.  He  will guide, enlighten and interpret as you discover the historical and archaeological sites with him. Says bilingual Steve:

 

“The Vezere Valley in the Dordogne is known as the ‘Cradle of Mankind’.  Why? Because 30,000 years ago it was all happening right here in the home of our ancestors the Neanderthals and Cro Magnons.

 

They left so much evidence around you can really get close to your ancestors and see some of the greatest art masterpieces in the world!”

 

Later on in the Middle Ages, great characters and events all left their marks on the surroundings in the form of:

• Castles
• Chateaux
• Bastides (fortified towns)
• Churches and abbeys

Our Guided Archaeology Tours take in some of the best France - and the world - has to offer
