Itinerary

Pedal through the picturesque landscapes of southwest France on the "Highlights of the Dordogne by Bike" tour, an 8-day self-guided bicycle trip designed for experienced travelers and seniors seeking an immersive yet manageable adventure. This private tour begins and concludes in Dordogne, taking you on a loop through charming towns such as Montignac, Cro-Magnon, Les Eyzies, and the historic heart of Sarlat, the capital of Black Périgord. Meandering along quiet country lanes and the winding Dordogne River, cyclists are treated to verdant pastures, terraced slopes, and ancient hamlets, all treasures of the region's rich heritage.

The journey offers ample opportunities to savor the famed gastronomy of the area—truffles, walnuts, and local wines—while staying in carefully selected hotels that reflect the region’s warm hospitality. Highlights include visits to La Roque-Gageac, a stunning riverside village, and the world-renowned Lascaux Caves, where prehistoric artistry comes alive. The moderate physical activity level ensures a balance of invigorating rides and leisurely exploration, making it a perfect fit for travelers who appreciate scenic cycling without strenuous demands.

Amazing way to holiday, on a bike - busy but slow paced. The itinerary for each day was a great mix of cycling and activities to do along the way. Plenty of time to enjoy the sights. Loved it being self guided and at our own pace. Easy instructions and maps. Accomodation great.
