Everything is very good with this shuttle taxi system. As far as we are concerned we appreciated that there was no waiting and we were able to have a 2-seater kayak at the starting point for the 14km walk.
We were very tired in the evening, it was hard to paddle for all these 14km, our arms hurt, in short, we had a great time, with these magnificent Dordogne views all along the way.
