Our time on this trip was spectacular. Alexis was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great guide! We enjoyed every stop from the cute towns, the restaurants, gorge, and the river and lake. It was a perfect way to see so much of the French countryside and get to spots that only the locals might know about. We would highly recommend the trip and Alexis.

Guillaume was a great driver and guide. He picked us up on time and brought us to amazing places to see during this 12 hour tour. We saw I believe 8 different stops during our trip which he was willing to customize to our wishes. We went with his recommendations which were all good. Stopped in a couple of small villages, in one of which we had an amazing lunch. Went out on a boat ride and were able to see amazing scenery. Luckily for us we were there during the time of the lavender fields blooming which is only a few short weeks at the end of June and early July. We were exhausted at the end of the trip but was well worth it. A lot of winding roads, up and down mountains so if you are prone to car sickness bring the appropriate medicine and you will be fine. Plenty of time outside of the vehicle so no real worries.

Wonderful trip. We only wish they wouldn't advertise lavender fields unless they are in full bloom. Our guide Alex was awesome and he really looked to find some for us and we saw the buds. It was about a week too early.

Our tour guide, Ben, was excellent . He was friendly, conscientious, knowledgeable and made great efforts to make the tour complete and beyond. The day of our tour had some rain . Despite this, Ben was able to modify the sites we visited to make it a great experience. He knows the places like the back of his hand. Ben is the tour guide I recommend.

Alex was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and made sure we had a good time. The roads are very bad for those prone to car sickness. Alex was patient when a few people started feeling sick. He was even prepared with medication and water to help us. Verdon Gorge is a must see. The whole trip we got to see amazing sights and experience local culture.
