We travelled with the great rail journeys company for the 1st time this spring. The itinerary is well organised albeit the journey itself is quite long. We found the hotel setting , staff , and fellow members of the group tour to be very pleasant . The nice easy walk to the restaurant added to the ambience each night sharing a table with different fellow guests. The tour guide was most helpful and cheery . Our 1st time in France and we will visit again.

This was a beautiful area to visit plenty to see and do, the hotel was typically French although very rustic it was very clean and the staff were lovely and friendly. The only thing we found was maybe the journey was too long for us but we still had a lovely holiday.
Went with my wife to the charming dordogne on the 23rd May to the 29th may. We both had a lovely time with a great bunch of people who we got to know and Ricky our tour manager was excellent who went above and beyond to help us all..we enjoyed the trips,the scenery, the hotel we stayed at,sarlot is truly a beautiful place and all going out for dinner in the evening was super. Yes it's a bit of a travel and it was extremely hot during the day but take that away we had a wonderful time, not knowing what it would be like as we had never been on a grj before and l would recommend going. Thanks to everyone who went and best wishes to you xx
Very good holiday throughout rail, hotel, food and tour guide excellent.
Overall excellent, great tour guide in rick, sarlat great place to stay, great hotel in great location. Excellent trips out, great group of people we mixed with. One negative was only 2 choices of meals which is largely duck, but then only option no choice for vegetarians on 3 nights so same meal 3 times.
Lovely area to visit, and excellent centre at Sarlat-la-Ceneda Tour Manager Rick Nichols excelled. Down side was day one in particular - far too long and eating at 9pm after most of the guests having been up since 4am, and travelling on two long train journeys, followed by nearly 3 hour coach journey. Consider this and the return journey which is better, but still quite fractious.. Final suggestion : Clearly advise guests that they should be aware that there is a lot of hurrying and scurrying and you mainly have to handle your own luggage [keep as light as possible!]
Well organised, well-led by an excellent tor guide. Beautiful area and interesting places to visit. Friendly, fun companions. The only negative for me was the bus travel (I don't travel well by coach).
Hotel very good, very French. Location excellent. Our guide, group, visits, restaurants, food and weather could not be better. Loved it.
Fabulous, place fabulous people
The days in the beautiful Les Eyzes was lovely but the the length of the journey especially the over 2 hour coach journey from Angouleme to the hotel was overwhelming and something I was not aware of. There was nothing in the itinerary to suggest this and so very disappointing and tiring.
What a wonderful holiday with our excellent tour guide Shaun. This was the first time that I had been on an organised tour and I had been a little apprehensive not knowing what to expect. However I need not have been! Travelling with such a lovely group to so many different places and seeing incredible architecture and scenery in the Dordogne was delightful and so well organised. The hotel was beautiful with friendly, helpful staff and the local restaurant provided delicious food for several evening meals. I would have no hesitation in recommending this lovely trip.
Our 1st time with Great Rail Journeys. Would recommend
Enjoyed the trip, very sociable group, hotel very good, enjoyed the trips. However, the coach journey from the French station to the hotel was too long...2.30 hours, and be prepared for chaos at French passport controls at Gard de Nord.
Hotel excellent. Going to Sarlat on mkt day not a good idea. Places visited well worth the time.
Great Rail Journeys provided a very enjoyable holiday with much to see and do in good .company. The hotel was well situated and spotlessly clean and friendly. The tour manager was helpful and efficient. but the timetable was a bit tight at times , particularly so when carrying luggage, I would certainly hope to go with Great Rail Journeys again.
The visits offered gave a genuine overview of the region - geography, history, culture. There was adequate free time to do one's own exploration. The hotel was really lovely with a beautiful garden and pool outside. Inside the comfortable bar area with owner Jean-Luc in charge offered a space for chatting and trying the local beverages.
Well organised. Interesting sites.
Hotel comfortable with good breakfast. Dinners underwhelming. Places visited interesting. Company excellent. Tour manager helpful. 2 days of travel there and back exhausting and will not be repeated.
Beautiful area of France. So green and picturesque. The architecture in the lovely golden stone is so well preserved.
Good hotel, nice local meals but some trips out were underwhelming eg train trip. Having 2 rest days seemed excessive, particularly when one was a Monday and most shops closed.
