Foodie Tour - This is an in-depth explanation of cheeses, duck/goose products, the history of medieval Sarlat. The tastings were thoughtfully prepared and very good. Lena did an excellent job with each option. She was equally conversing for our group in English and French as we had a mixed group. Lena made it easy to get to know the other tourists. Our group became quite friendly and we did 2 other tours together. It was such fun! Before you eat and try to shop take this tour with Lena so you can understand what things to look for to get exactly what you want out of your entire experience!

Excellent experience and explanation of all the joys and sorrows of Sarlat, along with a taste of the culinary treasures - Anna was our guide and she was absolutely wonderful. Folks should know this tour is an overall experience and understanding of Sarlat-La-Caneda. Walking to historic spots, learning about the 1200 year old history of the town, and seeing the elements of its relatively recent renaissance. Learning of the emotional meaning of many landmarks for the local people added to the heart of the tour. Along with this is a taste of the foods Sarlat is known for and an immersive experience in the Sarlat Saturday market. Our family enjoyed this very much- there wasn’t any part of it that was poorly structured or handled. We’ve been on a lot of food tours all over the world and this was in the top 3 for sure!

A super nice experience both gastronomically and culturally. - It was great, the best compromise between a 5-hour visit and a simple tasting; it's a shame this excursion isn't available in French for "the uninformed." Overall, we loved it.

Sarlat la Caneda Gourmet Market Tour - We can not recommend this tour highly enough. C’est supérbe! Anne is a seasoned local and an extremely knowledgeable tour guide. She took us to a number of significant historical sites within the old town and regaled us with many wonderful stories about Sarlat and its people. Our tour was interspersed with three delightful tasting stops to whet our palates. A tour not to be missed!!! J & H Australia

Great Introduction to Sarlat - This tour is a great way to gain a quick understanding of the town and the history of Sarlat and its main two outdoor markets, along with some of the best cheese and other markets in town. We discovered some great regional food and wine that we purchased to bring home. Benoit was a delightful tour guide, and the whole experience was very entertaining.

This market tour is amazing! - This is not only a tour of the market but also includes a tour of the town and historical monuments. Anne is a wonderful guide and makes history come to life in her delivery of the information. We loved every moment of our time with her. She was delightful. The tastings were delicious and highlighted local products. We highly recommend this tour!
