Perigord is one of the largest and most picturesque areas in France. It is divided into two by the River Dordogne which founded the historic frontier between France and England during the Hundred Years War (1337-1453). Along its banks you'll find over a thousand castles steeped in legend and history, and witness to centuries of conquests and conflict. Today the rich and varied culture of this land is still here for you to discover. You will meander along paths that follow the twists and turns of the valley and you will climb through fields and shaded woodland to hilltop towns and fortified strongholds with impressive views.
Clever to schedule Paris tours on the weekend when there is less traffic. The long bus rides were nicely paced to include good rest stops and small villages to walk about. Happy to discover Lyon, Nice and Avignon.

I liked how you commit the scheduled time in Itinerary, But it is mentioned that your services will end after breakfast on last day, but it is ended after breakfast the day before.
The Spanish Guides were Top and explained every thing, But as i am Arabian and the tour includes Arabic guide, he was terrible , Uncooperative, Poor Information about historical places from him, did not translate what guides say and depends on our good knowledge of English.
i rated him while we were in our tour, and you contacted me, and we said that the driver who drove up us from Prague airport was late but we did that to give him another chance, but he did not learn from that.

This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.
