Our guide was excellent. Very friendly and fun!!! He knew a lot about the area and the gorge. He let us stay a bit longer at almost every spot. I’m sure that made for a longer work day for him but he was so kind and truly wanted us to have a good time and enjoy ourselves!

This was worth every cent paid! Rafael was the best guide! He was very knowledgeable about the area and the activities included and went above and beyond to make this trip great for everyone. Getting to take the paddle boats on the lake was so fun! They even had kayaks and paddle boards so you might bring a swim suit and towel if you want to get in the water! I would do this tour again! It’s my second tour with this company, Bingo Tours. I’m very pleased with them!

Extremely well planned out. Several stops at beautiful attractions and towns en route to the gorge. Verdon gorge was exceptional and quite an experience. Spectacular views. Excellent tour guide and driver. Fabulous day. Not to be missed.

Awesome! So beautiful and greatly organized and safe driving and interesting facts couldn’t have been better

Thanks, Justine

Steven_N, May 2026

A day in the French Alps. An exciting ride along mountain roads, with stops at deep gorges, great waterfalls, and storybook villages. Justine was an outstanding guide and driver—she handled the winding roads with ease and gave us a clear sense of the region. She really made the day.

Worth doing

Iqbal_R, Apr 2026

Although it was a long tour for 10:30 hours with pickup at 7:45 AM and drop off at 6:07 PM, it was worth. The highlight of the tour: lifelong, memorable boating on Lac De Sainte Croix at the foot of the Gorges du Verdon. It was incredible. Having lunch at Moustiers-Sainte-Marie was so surreal. Our guide for the Bingo tour, Justine, was so nice and kept the tour running very smoothly.

Car trip

Alberta_M, Apr 2026

This was an amazing tour! Beautiful scenery and well worth the trip. Definitely could not have driven there by ourselves. And we loved our driver/guide George. Very informative. Definitely recommend!

Off season review

Kim_L, Nov 2025

I felt this tour was misleading and overpriced for the season. It was unfair to us as we were not to enjoy the experiences as others and your description of the day was not what we recieved. It should of been half price, willing to pay not full price and these are the reasons 1. water fall nothing was open, couldn’t grab a morning coffee. Bake shop closed 2. No lavender fields to be seen 3. 1st village only few stores open, the town pretty much closed down windows boarded up 4. 2nd village highlight, but once again quiet, many stores closed, but more to see. Was able to grab lunch. 5. Water activities nice but our driver wasn’t even sure of that would be open. 6. Long car ride not to enjoy the more interesting views as it was off season, plus we had a poor guy car sick. 7. Driver was okay, little negative just because two much was closed and nothing to see. He didn’t know a lot of history when asked as we were driving therefore not a lot of interest. And it’s a long drive. 8. Pick was unpleasant, we met at the meeting point, couldn’t find our tour guide, has no idea what to look for, we thought a bus, or a person but none of it, Diver tried to find us two times but because instructions were poor and for some reason my phone and his phone wouldn’t connect I’m international that may be reason. I think half price is reasonable for this time of year. Full price is unfair to off season tourists when we were not informed of closures . Viator has never failed me but this was dissapointing.

Our group very much...

Marlene_S, Oct 2025

Our group very much enjoyed our day excursion. Our driver and tour guide went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. She presented options for us along the way to enhance our experience. Beautiful countryside - definitely worth it!

Amazing experience!

Wendy_T, Oct 2025

Stunning view of the gorge

Rosemary_R, Oct 2025

A long day but worth it to see the gorge from Belvedere de la Carelle. We had plenty of time to visit Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie and also an hour at the beautiful blue lake. It would have been nice to have stopped at more of the viewpoints along the canyon. I was sitting by the window on the left side of the vehicle and had great views but it wasn’t so good for those on the other side. Mike was our guide and he did an excellent job

Gorges du Verdon day trip

Marilyn_P, Sep 2025

This was a great tour. The scenery was breathtaking and our guide managed to stop in a lot of places so we could get photos. He knew all the good spots and kept us up to date with information about the area. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out of Nice for the day. Lots of great places to grab a coffee or lunch. The weather was stunning, not a cloud in the sky which made for a very enjoyable day.

Great tour

Donna_P, Sep 2025

Great tour guide (Raffael), he was very knowledgeable, helpful and informative. He took us to great look out sites

Bingo tours Gorges du Verdon

Jennifer_B, Sep 2025

Dennis was very professional and helpful His leadership was exceptional. His historical and cultural knowledge was outstanding. We learned so much about this area. I could not have asked more from a tour guide, he went out of his way to accommodate all of us and made sure that we were all looked after I highly recommend to go on the bingo tours thanks again Dennis .

Gorgeous!

MariaC_E, Sep 2025

Fantastic! Our driver/guide was very genuine, friendly and great driver. The stops were fantastic & the lake incredible. Not recommended for people with mobility issues as there were a lot of stops (in & out of van). Highly recommend this tour!

Gorges du Verdon

dagmarmarandi, Sep 2025

The are of Gorges de Verdon was familiar and nice. The road was winding , althougt the driver was very skilled most of the passengers were scared. The tour guide did not heed the passengers request to drive more slowly, instead he recommend to take a private trip. The excessive haste in destination villages was disturbing. The trip could be a 1 hour longer but in slower mood to enjoy it.

A highlight!

Kari_U, Sep 2025

We had a great time on our tour! The canyon was spectacular and a highlight of our trip! My husband and I rent a peddle boat and had a wonderful time! We also enjoyed the stop in Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, a local village known for pottery and got some wonderful keep sakes! I would highly recommend this tour, with two pieces of advice, 1) if you are easily car or motion sickness the rounds are very winding and high so it may be a difficult journey for you 2) each stop is very short (with 1 hour in the canyon) so it goes by very quickly, however without the tour we not ever have been able to go and it is so worth the visit!

Must-do day trip!

James_J, Sep 2025

We booked this day trip while staying in Nice for our honeymoon. Safe to say it was a great decision - one of the most memorable parts of our stay! Daniel was a great guide - friendly, knowledgable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. There were a number of great stops along the way, places you wouldn’t be able to get to without hiring your own car. The views were incredible. The Gorge itself was breathtaking - we were so glad we were able to experience it. We had over an hour and chose to rent a pedalo, which was the perfect amount of time to enjoy it. Simply a must do! Thanks!

Gorges du Verdon

Susan_H, Aug 2025

Full day out through the beautiful French countryside. The roads are winding so if you tend to get motion sickness take some precautions and maybe sit up front.

Beautiful scenery

Linda_S, Aug 2025

The scenery was absolutely gorgeous. This was a wonderful day. Our driver worked very hard to accommodate us. I would recommend this to anyone wanting a day away from the bustle of the city.

It was fun but if you get...

Amanda_R, Aug 2025

It was fun but if you get nausea easily or drink/party the day before it might be extremely difficult of a trip because of all the winding roads. Beautiful views though and Gouda our driver was super time efficient. I really appreciated him for that. He tries to make the most of your time! He was awesome!

Super Mario

Irshad_A, Aug 2025

Our tour of the Gorges Du Verdon with Mario was absolutely unforgettable. He’s an exceptional guide, energetic, talkative, and endlessly positive. Mario went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt taken care of while keeping the day fun, engaging, and stress-free. His passion and local knowledge brought Provence to life, and in just 12 hours we experienced so much more than we ever expected. If you want a guide who combines professionalism with genuine warmth and joy, Mario is the one!

We Miss You Mario

Katelyn_E, Aug 2025

Mario was a fantastic guide on our journey to the Gorges du Verdon. His passion for this part of the country was palpable, and it radiated throughout our group as the day progressed. The itinerary is fast-paced but necessary to fit in so many wonderful stops. Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is every bit as beautiful as described, and Lac de Sainte-Croix does not disappoint (the water really is that blue in person). Spending a full day at each of these locations would still leave you wanting more time. A few good tips for this trip: bring a swimsuit, and if you get carsick easily, come prepared as the roads are winding. Mario did an excellent job checking in on us throughout the day to make sure it wasn’t affecting us too much. Several pit stops along the way also help ease any motion sickness. This has been the highlight of our trip and we would highly recommend it if you are considering venturing out from Nice.

Mario was an excellent...

Kayla_D, Aug 2025

Mario was an excellent guide! He gave us so much history and information throughout the whole day, and organized things perfectly. Beautiful stops, and a packed day to make the most of the time! It was also great to be picked up and dropped off right at our hotel/airbnb! The only thing to mention is that it is a long car ride up and down lots of windy roads. If you easily get car sick, this may be a more difficult ride for you. Our guide was great about making stops and ensuring everyone was comfortable the whole day!

A Remarkable Day Exploring the Verdon Gorge

Fabio_M, Jul 2025

We were a group of eight and had an unforgettable day exploring the Verdon Gorge with Mario as our guide. From the very beginning, he made us feel welcome and created a great atmosphere in the group. Mario was knowledgeable, fun, and full of engaging stories and anecdotes about the area, which made the hike even more enjoyable. He took great care to ensure everyone was comfortable and safe throughout the day. What made the experience even more special was that, after the tour, Mario sent us a beautiful video with photos and highlights from the day, an amazing souvenir that we'll all treasure. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized, memorable adventure in the Verdon Gorge!

Raphael was a wonderful...

Jennie_K, Jul 2025

Raphael was a wonderful guide. He talked about interesting facts for each of our sites and places we passed along the way. He adjusted the route to cut down on the time we spent in traffic so that we wouldn't lose any time at our stops. He kept us involved and interested with little quizzes, and he always made sure we knew what the schedule was. We even had time for an extra stop. I would definitely recommend this trip to others.

Great Gorge Tour!

Mark_R, Jul 2025

It’s a great tour that allows visits to a couple of unbelievably amazing towns in the mountains above Nice. Upon arriving at the lake, we were able to rent watercraft (many types were available) and spend about an hour on the lake. The towns were scenic and picturesque, and offered great dining and drink options. Our guide, Nicola, was fantastic! He’s knowledgeable and personable, making sure that all had a great time.
