Top Nice Bus Tours

Bring drivers license if you want to drive. The electric cars were fun to drive, just a tiny bit scary on major streets. Maryam, our guide, was superb. She was very patient and most of all, highly receptive to our comments and needs. The view from the top was amazing and Maryam gave us enough context to truly appreciate it. In my view, the tour is well worth the money.

We didn't know what to expect on this tour. It was a long 9hr tour including travel time to and from the Lake. Justine, our tour guide was wonderful, very accommodating and spoke very good English. Our first stop was the waterfalls, followed by a drive thru the canyon. We stopped at a small village called Castellane to grab something to eat. We continued down the mountain admiring the majestic peaks and little villages tuck in. We arrived a Village de Moustiers-Saint-Marie where we had lunch at a small restaurant. Next was the Lac de Sainte-Croix, where we had a choice to rent a kayak or pedal boat. From there we drove back around 2 hours mostly on Highway back to Nice.

Stephane was our tour guide and was excellent. He gave us great detail about each stop and had great parking places to drop us close to our walking destinations. He spent the ride to each stop giving us background about our upcoming stops and helped us maximize our time at each location to explore. The verdon gorge is stunning.....not as big and magnificent as the actual grand canyon but i understand why it is called the grand canyon on Europe. The tour gives you an opportunity to take a short hike to the bottom of the gorge on the river, then views from the top where you can see for miles, and finally a stop at the end of the gorge on a lake where you can rent a boat or kayak for an hour to paddle into the gorge on the river. I got some stunning pictures. The little towns we visited were quaint and beautiful before and after the gorge. Stephane was a great guide and we had a great time spending the day with him. One warning, if you are easily car sick this tour is driving on windy roads all through the french alps and it was an issue for my wife and one other. The views and stops were so worth it.
