We started our day on-time. Tengo, our driver, is very reliable and is an expert at the route we took on the trip. The first stop was a small, yet gorgeous waterfall that was absolutely beautiful and the perfect stop along the trip. The two towns we went to were charming and enjoyable to walk around (we get just the right amount of time to explore each place). And the before going to the canyon, we got to see two viewpoints, one 7,000 km above sea level and the other closer down in the canyon. It was really cool to see these two sights of the canyon before getting to swim in it! The lavender fields were also really pretty! Anyone thinking of giving this tour a shot should definitely bight the bullet and do it because we had an incredible time. Thank you, Tengo!

The itinerary was good, only concern is the driver who drove very fast on the winding mountain roads, and sometimes he looked phone while driving, safety is first!

It was amazing!!! Got to see numerous beautiful sites including the gorge, lake, fields, countryside, waterfalls, etc.. David, our guide, was great!!!! He was very attentive and truly cared about what the guests wanted!

If you want to see the lavender fields, please check ahead. They were supposed to be in bloom according to the tour site, but upon pick-up, we were immediately told they had been cut down 2 weeks prior. This was an extreme disappointment when the main picture for this tour is of a lavender field. We tried to make the best of it, but our guide was super aggressive in his driving and was pulled over by the police for squeezing between 2 trucks. After more than 20 minutes on the side of the road while he was being questioned by the police about his license and visa papers, we were allowed to go. He was upset about his fine and continued to drive even faster and more aggressively, reaching speeds of almost 100mph. The van we were in was old and hot and had no vents in the back or middle rows. The temperature reached over 90 degrees that day, so most of us were quite uncomfortable. When I reached out to Viator with my complaints, they completely dismissed me. I have always had good experiences with their tours in the past, but this was a nightmare of a day.

Our guide and driver Tango was very reliable and punctual. His driving skills on these winding roads were exceptional. He is also a very kind and respectful person. The description of the tour practically sums up the whole day. He helped with photos as I was traveling with my two children. We had very nice conversation during the drive. My daughter really wanted to see the lavender fields up close and since we took the tour outside of the season it was very difficult to find one, however, Tango managed to find one field for us to see and take photos. He also gave us extra time at the lake to enjoy ourselves and my son to be able to peddle into the canyon. To sum it Tango is Awsome.

The description of the activity sums up the day perfectly! What it doesn’t outline is your wonderful driver David! His driving skills around the winding roads was 10/10. It is a day that will be etched fondly in our memory

I recently booked a tour through Viator to the Verdon Gorge, and while the scenery was breathtaking, the experience was seriously overshadowed by the reckless and unsafe driving of our driver, David.
On the way up into the mountains, David drove well over the speed limit on extremely narrow, winding roads with sharp hairpin turns. These roads had no guardrails in many places, with sheer cliffs just feet away, and were filled with cyclists. I asked him to slow down, and he did briefly — but soon returned to aggressive, high-speed driving. When I voiced my concern again, he joked about how fast he was going and told me not to worry, clearly showing he was fully aware of how uncomfortable and anxious I felt — yet continued driving the same way.
The return trip was even worse. We hit rush hour in a very congested city full of traffic, pedestrians, and motorcycles weaving through lanes. David continued to drive well above a safe speed, weaving in and out of traffic in a way that felt reckless and deeply unsettling.
By the end of the tour, I was shaken and relieved just to have made it back safely. I left a generous tip — not out of satisfaction, but because I felt intimidated and unsure how David would react if I didn’t. I didn’t feel comfortable sharing how I really felt in person.
This could have been a fantastic tour, but the driving left me feeling unsafe and anxious throughout. Viator needs to take this seriously — no guide should dismiss passenger concerns, joke about dangerous behavior, or ignore obvious safety risks. Passenger safety and comfort must always come first.

Great experience to see the most famous Lavander in south france. 1 day trip and cover all great places on roads

It was a great time! Lots of driving but it was one of our favorite parts as the mountains and meadows you see are along the way are incredible. The lake is beautiful, if given the option stay longer than an hour here! Do your research of the stops beforehand this is a driving tour not necessarily a commentated tour. Our driver was David and he was lovely! Super nice and funny and never made us feel rushed.

Our guide David showed us wonderful places and made everyone feel very comfortable during the trip. We had great time. He is a very friendly and helpful person.
June & July are the months, you can best see beautiful lavender fields, but these are also very hot months.

Fun guide / great driver named David that makes the trip easy and even more memorable. Helped with picture taking and additional mini surprises along the way!

I had a great experience on the day tour to the Gorges du Verdon from Nice! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking – from the turquoise waters of the lake to the dramatic cliffs of the canyon.
Our guide and driver Tengo was not only friendly and punctual, but also drove very carefully and attentively. The route has lots of winding roads, so I appreciated this.
The whole tour was well-organized, with just the right amount of time at each stop to take in the views and explore a little.
If you're staying in Nice and want to see one of the most stunning natural landscapes in France, this tour is an absolute must!

We had the best day! Our guide Tenjiz added some stops to the trip that made our experience ever better than we expected. This was worth every penny and is a must do if you are near the area!

Tengo was a great host and driver! The ride is a couple hours from Nice but well-worth it… some stops to break it up and the kayaking was a blast!
Response from Host, May 2025
Happy to hear that you enjoyed it.

Our adventure was so great. Our driver, Tengo, was so flexible and patient with us. He showed us different things gave us historical aspects. Stopped in places to give us extra sightseeing views. We couldn’t do lavender fields as they don’t bloome until late May but he made all the other experiences worth it. Thank you Tengo for giving us a memorable trip!

Our driver David led us with much cheerfulness through a beautiful part of Provence. He was very concerned about the welfare of each individual , gave interesting background information and drove very safely through the very winding mountain world.
The journey time was very long, but was well interrupted by stops.
Great was the stop at the reservoir, here next time I would prefer swimming, as the pedal boat was brewing into the gorge all the time.
Have a nice trip!
