What to expect
Embark on a full-day guided escape from Nice into the heart of Provence's most spectacular natural landscapes. Travel through rolling hills and stop at the Gorges du Loup, home to a striking 40-meter waterfall, before reaching the medieval village of Castellane. Continue along the turquoise waters of the Verdon River to the 700-meter-deep Verdon Canyon, one of Europe's most dramatic gorges. Discover the crystal-clear Lac de Sainte-Croix, before arriving at Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, a cliffside Provencal village celebrated for its earthenware and terrace cafes. On the return, pass through the lavender fields at the foothills of the Alps, typically in full bloom from late June to mid-July, before your guide drops you back at your Nice hotel

David is a very professional guide. He is also a great driver. He told us about the history of France along the way. He took care of me and my mother at every moment. He was a guide who knew where the viewpoints were, so we could enjoy the beautiful scenery comfortably. I couldn't express my gratitude well because my English is not good. However, I think he knows how satisfied and grateful I and my mother were. David's wife Nana was also professional, kind, and gentle. She told me many stories and talked to me, and my mother was happy. It was a more meaningful and happy time to spend the last day of my 43-day European trip with David and Nana. I hope you are always healthy and only good things happen to you. Of course, you will be like that because you are good people, but I wish you happiness!!!
Thanks to Matt we had a really smooth and amazing tour . Matt is a really sweet and knowledgeable English speaking guide . His almost non-stopped explanation with sometimes funny dressings amused me a lot . definitely will recommend him to everyone 💜Took so many great pictures.
As other reviews have said, we were first notified of the pick-up and drop-off the night before (around 8pm). I was worried until then whether the event would actually take place, so I wish they had contacted us a little earlier, but other than that it was great!! The guide was very kind and paid attention to the small details, and the places we stopped at were all very attractive. Although it wasn't the peak season for lavender, they stopped by because there was a little bit of it in bloom, so we were able to enjoy the magnificent scenery!
Jaba was a wonderful driver and guide. He was friendly, communicative, and genuinely invested in us having a memorable time. He was also very accommodating, including taking great photos of us in the lavender fields. The lavender fields were worth the price of the ticket alone, but there was much more to enjoy on the way to the gorge, including visiting cute, of the way mountain villages full of charm and activities. My only criticism is that the description of the tour should let people know to bring a swimsuit and towel to enjoy the waters of the gorge. Other than that minor marketing point, I would definitely add this to your Nice and environs checklist.
Very exciting tour! We would never have found all the great photo spots on our own. We even had the opportunity to go pedal boating. :D In each village we were recommended the best shops and bakeries and where to get things at a fair price. On the way back we were given tips for Nice itself.
My tour guide of the day was Roman and I had one of the best trips in my life. We went a lot of places (Verdon Gorge, Castellane village, Grand canyon and River Verdon). He is a well educated and experienced guide who has a lot of knowledge about everything especially historically. I really appreciate I had a guide and beautiful memories with him. He is witty, sweet and considerate. My second time of the trip to Verdon Gorge and I enjoyed more than the first time!!) thank you so much Roman!!!! 🤍 We had a lot of luck with this trip. We were able to see many unique things as well. Thanks Roman The tour with guide Roman was fantastic. I'm a complete storyteller, so I didn't get tired the whole way and enjoyed it ^_^ I was worried because I tend to get very motion sick, but no, I drove really well and came away comfortably. I heard that they do it a lot in private, so everyone should try it out :) Koreans know that our expectations are high, but he is beyond your expectation (wink)(wink) I had a really great birthday. Thank you ❤️
The pickup time will be emailed to you the day before. I came out at the pick-up time, but there was no car, so I contacted you by email reply after waiting. The guide called me directly, but it was impossible to call because I was not roaming. Still, I called because I had iPhone FaceTime. You were about 25 minutes late, but I was glad to hear from you. And he explained many things along the way, and he was really kind and nice. It's a pity that I couldn't ask for the name of the guide. I haven't seen a lavender field because it's not the lavender season, but the south of France is still beautiful.
best tour i’ve been on. if you are in the area you cannot miss this. amazing tour guide, so great
I was very satisfied with being able to see the beautiful scenery of the Verdon Gorge during this tour. I had a very enjoyable day not only with the natural scenery but also with the cheerfulness and attentiveness of guide Matt.
Roman is the best tour guide I have ever encountered. In addition to the scenic spots on the itinerary, he also took us to beautiful private rooms to take beautiful photos, and shared very interesting stories and history. Thank you Roman for giving us an unforgettable day. It is really a wonderful place. So worth it.
