“Overall it was a great day. Our guide, Alessandro, provided great information about the region and its history. Pick up was on time, communication was great and the transportation was comfortable. The scenery is incredible. The Gorge de Verdon is a must see. Had we gone in the summer the lavender field would have been stunning. If seeing lavender is a highlight for you, then you need to do this tour in the summer when the lavender is in bloom.”
Review of the shared Verdon Gorge tour from Nice, with mountain villages, Sainte-Croix Lake, lavender views, guide tips, and honest value advice.
“Our driver, Raphael, made this trip interesting and a good outing. I think the travel company may need to clarify some items on their description as we were under the impression there would be more time at the lake. Honestly we liked the lake, the town before the lake, and the lavender fields the best and would prefer more time at the lake versus time at villages or perfumeries. However, always nice to be in the country.”

“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.”

“Our private tour with Adam was the absolute highlight of our French Riviera trip. He took us to beautiful medieval villages, walked through each one with us, and shared fascinating history and stories the entire day. He even surprised us with a visit to a charming village not on our itinerary, which ended up being one of our favorite stops. Adam went above and beyond—taking wonderful photos of us throughout the day and making sure we never felt rushed. His kindness, deep knowledge, and flexibility made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting the French Riviera, we can’t recommend this tour highly enough!”

“It was a nice day but not what I expected. The second half of the day is much more memorable than the first half. The trip involves a lot of driving. The first stop was a waterfall where we stayed for 10 mins. Then we went to Castellane for 35 mins, saw some beautiful views from the top of the mountain, then the lavender fields for awhile and swimming in the lake for an hour. Either bring your lunch or plan to buy it to go in Castellane.”

“Det var en ny guide, han som person var det inget fel på, han var trevlig men …..han hade inte fått några instruktioner. Han berättade att dom hade sagt till honom att gör det bästa du kan. Han hade dålig koll på vart vi skulle, hittade inte, körde fel. Så det som stod i programmet gällde i alla fall inte vår dagsutflykt.”

“We had a great day with Aleksander, who took us for an epic journey through the beautiful gorge and the many vistas therein. He told us about the history of the various towns and villages along the way, while expertly navigating the narrow and sometimes heavily-trafficked road along the way. The changing landscape was fascinating from the comfort of the van we were in and the stops along the way were interesting and fun for the whole family. The deep cuts through the sedimentary rock and the many different colors thereof were beautiful to behold. By virtue of being a private tour, changes can be made easily. We opted to…”

“- Long hours on car - Not enough time for lunch - Tour guide cannot speak good english - Too short time for each spot - Some unwanted idle waiting time - Can consider to shorten the destination of this tour as it is too rush to get to Aix-en-provence, vineyard, lavender farm in just 9 hours - Consider to provide food and lunch time for customers.”
