A well planned chance to see the early human prehistory at the Lascaux site and its environs. A unique and world heritage experience

Excellent tour today with Lena. Very knowledgeable & we had a couple additional cave photo ops. She was very informative!

Fascinating!

John_T, Jun 2025
Fascinating. The cave recreation, workshop, and English-speaking guide in the cave was fascinating snd so interesting. However, Lena, our guide for the entire tour made the trip. It was the second time we toured with her. She is great!

Excellent Tour

This was a bucket list experience! I have wanted to see this my entire life, and the guide did an excellent job making it worthwhile!

Fabulous. A must in Perigord.

Matt_J, May 2023
Our guide Martin was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Perigord and prehistoric man putting everything in context. The Les caux IV is done extremely well. I highly recommend this tour.

Informative historical tour-Benoit superb guide!

Shirlene_D, May 2023
Benoit was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and speaks very clear English. The facsimile cave is fascinating,

No hassle Lascaux tour from Sarlat.

Pamela_P, May 2023
Very knowledgeable driver/guide shared lots of info about the prehistory of the area. This prepared us for the Lascaux IV tour done by the guide there. Tickets are reserved for the tour so there is no time wasted. We also got to see some of Sarlat which is a charming medieval town.

Fabulous, entertaining, relaxing

SuzanneK, Sep 2021
Martin was fabulous. We got a great inside commentary of early man. What a treat. He listened to and answered our questions. The two stops before the cave visit were interesting. Great tour through Viator ... as always.

Do nit miss this historical site

Bkingsha, Oct 2019
It truly does amaze you. 20,000 year old cave paintings hidden for centuries are amazing! The level if artistry that prehistoric humans had us very advanced. The sheer volume of paintings is also very impressive. Of course this is a reproduction but very accurate. If we all visited the original cave, we would destroy the art just by breathing. Do not miss this!
