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!
