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

We were lucky to be blessed with great weather and had an excellent time. Our tour guide Alessandro was punctual and took good care of us, especially when one of our friends was experiencing altitude sickness. Alessandro was also very knowledgeable and was able to explain to us fun facts and history of things we saw along the way. I personally found the Verdon Gorge so breathtakingly beautiful, and my friends were very pleased to have caught the lavender fields in bloom for some great photos.
I visited some wonderful places with multinational team members. It was a great tour, even though I was disappointed that we couldn't take a boat ride at Verdon Gorge due to the weather.
Our guide, Yannick, was kind and drove very well. I appreciated that he focused on driving, especially on the rough roads. Thanks to him, we had a fulfilling day.
Dennys was an excellent guide for our trip to the Gorges du Verdon and etc.. Friendly, professional, and passionate about the region, he took us through the most scenic routes and shared fascinating insights about the landscape. A memorable experience—definitely recommend Dennys to anyone visiting this incredible part of France.
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!
Highly recommend Jaba, the tour guide is very enthusiastic and kind. He took good care of us along the way. The small snacks between the attractions are also very good. It is a worthwhile trip! A must-see when you come to the South of France!
The 8-person van is from Nissan, it’s not comfortable compared to the Ford 8-person van I had in Marseille. The itinerary was a bit tight for Mustier; I had to have lunch in the van. However, I had 45 minutes in the boat on the lake, which I can’t complain. The town Castellano was a bit a ghost down, would have preferred to remove it from the itinerary.
It was a cost-effective trip! The Verdon Tour was actually quite expensive, but I said I would give it a try for this price~~ I really respect the passionate world traveler's installment guide!! He spoke 7 languages and told me about history, but I couldn't understand everything, which was a shame... As expected from a package, it went by quickly, but I think it would be great for people who have difficulty using public transportation or renting a car!!!
