Elise did a magnificent job. She showed us all the sites and about the history. We had plenty of time to see the sites etc. Was a small group in a little van which worked well.
Time well spent on the lake at the end of tour.

The Guide, Stefan was fantastic. He was very respectful, courteous, patient, great communicator, good driver, and solid on history. I mentioned I was queasy with curves, and he drove slowly.
I loved the Verdon Gorge (all viewpoints were outstanding) and the scenic drive with sufficient time given at all places. Weather was not on our side (rain) through half the journey) which made it less enjoyable in stops.
Very disappointed to have missed out the canoeing/boating experiences (empty place) by the water, and the Lavender fields (hadn't bloomed yet), and felt that the price should have reflected the same and be reduced. But we paid full hefty price although missing out on half the experiences.

Overall, good experience due to the fantastic guide, scenery, and the Verdon gorge, but very much overpriced in general, and especially for spots not covered.

An absolutely gorgeous day trip to the Canyon of Verdon! Not only did we see the gorge (truly stunning) but we stopped in two quaint towns along the way (Castellane and Moustiers Saint Marie). We also visited the the waterfalls at gorges du loup. To top it all, our tour guide and fellow travelers were cool with us stopping at the lake Saint Croix and a taking a dip in the water <3. This was a truly memorable trip, even w/o seeing the lavender fields which were out of season in October. Overall, I will never forget the beauty of the canyons and lakes in the mountains of South France <3

I really enjoyed this tour, the driver-guide explained a lot about the places and the history. He also made sure we have time and opportunity to take photos. And he adjusted the program to our needs.

Exceptional views. Our guide was very friendly and was careful about all of our needs and desires about stopping to take pictures, being comfortable in the car, and everything else in general. Wouldn't have seen Gorges du Verdon if not for this tour. 10/10 recommend if you're traveling solo like me and have a day to spare.

I went with two friends to take the tour for €125 each and it's not totally worth it, we feel cheated. 1. He mentions that they pick us up for free in Nice, and in the end it is only in Nice Center. 2. We spend more time in the Van than walking. 3. We felt cheated by the guide, since he suggested that we leave a town to go to the lake where he supposedly had a table already reserved for us, in a restaurant that, in addition to being expensive, did not even have air conditioning. But that was not all, we arrived at the lake after a 3-hour journey, it tells us that we have 1 hour 30 minutes for lunch, the restaurant took time to serve us and when we thought that we would go to the lake to swim later, it turns out that we already had to go to Nice. We feel cheated, since if we had known we would have preferred to go swimming and have lunch on the way back. a bad experience.

Mainly went for the lavender fields but loved the trip to see the Gorge du Verdon more! Our guide Alex even took us to swim down in the lake the gorge flows into. A beautiful day!

I loved this tour! It was an early start but even though it was a long day I felt like it went by so fast. As a solo female traveler I felt very safe. Alex was an amazing tour guide. As we drove he would tell us the history of the Côte d’Azur. Alex was a very safe driver and was very patient when people wanted to stop and take photos or linger. I loved all of our stops and was glad I got to experience everything at least briefly. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Grand Canyon not easy to go by public transportation so that join a tour for it. So far comfortable and enjoyable. The driver so kind and nice. Time allotment also good. But just one point that booking ask for making pickup time confirmation that a bit hard to contact until the night before journey then feedback. Maybe write more clear on instruction would be better. The rest everything alright. p.s. this ac can’t find my booking as wrongly using other one for buying tour.

We were Informed the morning of the trip we would not be going to the lavender fields because they are not in bloom – which is untrue since the lavender season in France is mid June to July. We left the tour to find a way to get to the lavender fields on our own but were given a call by the manager. We were told to to come back to the car and that they would take us to the lavender fields after all. After six hours of dizzy driving up a mountain that caused multiple people in the car to be sick, we stopped at the side of a road to take a few pictures of the lavender. We did not go to a field, just a patch on the side of the road. The driver was not a tour guide and just seemed there to drive. He seemed eager to get the day over with and did not enjoy interacting with us. The other people on the tour were great and the only thing that made the trip worth it. Overall, save your money and rent a car to go on your own, this was not worth it. My mother got extremely dizzy and sick for the rest of the day. One other guest threw up on the side of the road.
