Are they still doing the Dordogne River canoe trip on the Loire and South of France tour? We are taking that tour this year and I do not see it listed on the itinerary. I just need to know if I need to pack clothes for a canoe trip!

I see it lists a boat cruise instead for both 2025 & 26. To confirm I'd contact the tour office though.

Sad to see that the canoe trip is no longer included in this tour. That was one of my favorite activities. I guess too many people opted out of canoeing. The river was only knee deep so no risk of drowning.

I was on this trip in April and we had a pleasant boat ride with a humorous guide/captain instead. It was interesting to note that the river was running very fast due to recent rains when we were there.

I wonder how much repeated inclement weather played a part in this decision? We did the tour in June 2023 and a thunderstorm derailed the canoe trip. The guide already had a “Plan B” for those who didn’t want to canoe but once the whole group needed to be accommodated he had to come up with a “Plan C” on the spot. I was impressed by his ability to pivot, but that has to be tough with 28 people.
