Long day with more activities than expected. Had an enjoyable time. The winding roads were a lot more than we expected.

Our tour was amazing. Alex was fantastic. We were picked up and dropped off at our Airbnb. We visited the gorge, a few villages, a river, and the lavender fields. It was stress free and fun. Alex provided great commentary throughout and was accommodating to everybody on the tour. We all had a fantastic time and we all agree that this trip was one of the highlights of our time in France. Also, we left a purchase in the van. Alex made an extra trip to our Airbnb the next day to bring it to us. That is above and beyond. Thanks Alex!

The drive is filled with sharp turns and narrow roads. If you get car sick, do not take this excursion. Someone in my party got sick from the ride.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hello Katie
This is why when the driver picks up the customers in the morning he asks if anyone has motion sickness, if so he shows where to sit and we also have medicine. The second thing when you book a tour to the Verdon Gorges you can imagine that the road is not the highway
I'm very sorry you were not completely satisfy because of the winding roads of the Verdon gorges but in same time the winding roads is one of particularity that peoples like
I so sorry again
Bests regards

Alexis was a good guide. Took us everywhere. Only problem he was too fast to and from the gorges. So my kids felt like vomiting at the way the big vehicle was swaying from side to side. So if you have motion sickness he is not the driver. But for this he was really good!
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you Tara
Yes It’s mountains roads, you was feel I drive fast but I drive at the speed limit , when you are motion sickness the seats at the back is not for them because is they swaying a lot much more than the front 😉 but next time I show you the place in my region with the roads more comfortable
Many good things for you and your family

A wonderful private tour with the next level guide Alex, who was very friendly, informative and a fun to talk to. Visited numerous other places besides gorge itself. Make sure that if you want to see lavender fields it’s before July 20, after that it’s all cut. The trip is slightly physically demanding but we were able to catch a little nap on the way back. worth every penny.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for this kindly review is a nice reward for me thank you so much
You are right for lavender harvest is between July 20 and 25 to see lavender after this date is possible to see the lavender fields in the tour « country side of French Riviera and medieval villages «

Ben was a fantastic tour guide. He took the time to understand how much time we wanted to spend at each stop, he did little things like getting us coffee and refilling water bottles and having little snack treats that went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and enjoyed our tour. We highly recommend!
Guadalupe_B, Jul 2024
Great experience with Alex as our driver and tour guide. Unforgettable and definitely a highlight of our trip
Nicoletta_M, Jun 2024
We had a GREAT experience with Alex as our tour guide! He had soo much information on each of the stops that we went to and was really excited to share with us his favorites. He gave us more than enough time to explore each spot, and was always on time to pick up! Would definitely recommend to anyone who’s coming to Nice!!!!

our trip is supposed to be for 11 hours. anyway we have a flight to catch at 6pm so we said if he can drop us off at the terminal which he agreed. we asked that if we can shorten our stops so we can see all the stuff that is in itinerary. Our driver Alex keep explaining that we have no time- which doesn't make sense. If we shorten our stop we have enough time (more than enough) to see everything and still get back to the city at 6 to catch my flight. But he stick to his way. which is very frustrating. Our family is his only passengers and it stated when I booked this trip that we can adjust the time depends (if we wanted to spend more time or less time on places) I was very frustrated, i really love to see the lavenders field and Alex (the driver) said its not blooming yet- I told him even when not in bloom I would really love to see the place. Totally missed the waterfalls. I don't recommend going to this tour specially if you will get the same driver. The money you pay for this tour is way more than what you will be getting. I am very disappointed. I know i will not be using this tour group again, what a waste of money

Thank you

Alex is an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of history in the area was much appreciated. He is a very pleasant fellow!
Scott_K, Aug 2023
Our time on this trip was spectacular. Alexis was friendly, knowledgeable, and a great guide! We enjoyed every stop from the cute towns, the restaurants, gorge, and the river and lake. It was a perfect way to see so much of the French countryside and get to spots that only the locals might know about. We would highly recommend the trip and Alexis.

Guillaume was a great driver and guide. He picked us up on time and brought us to amazing places to see during this 12 hour tour. We saw I believe 8 different stops during our trip which he was willing to customize to our wishes. We went with his recommendations which were all good. Stopped in a couple of small villages, in one of which we had an amazing lunch. Went out on a boat ride and were able to see amazing scenery. Luckily for us we were there during the time of the lavender fields blooming which is only a few short weeks at the end of June and early July. We were exhausted at the end of the trip but was well worth it. A lot of winding roads, up and down mountains so if you are prone to car sickness bring the appropriate medicine and you will be fine. Plenty of time outside of the vehicle so no real worries.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you for Guillaume, I pass the message to him when he come back to the office, I very happy you are satisfied by our service
Thank you for your review see next time

Wonderful trip. We only wish they wouldn't advertise lavender fields unless they are in full bloom. Our guide Alex was awesome and he really looked to find some for us and we saw the buds. It was about a week too early.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hello

Our tour guide, Ben, was excellent . He was friendly, conscientious, knowledgeable and made great efforts to make the tour complete and beyond. The day of our tour had some rain . Despite this, Ben was able to modify the sites we visited to make it a great experience. He knows the places like the back of his hand. Ben is the tour guide I recommend.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you for him , I give to him the message he will be very happy to know your opinion

Alex was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and made sure we had a good time. The roads are very bad for those prone to car sickness. Alex was patient when a few people started feeling sick. He was even prepared with medication and water to help us. Verdon Gorge is a must see. The whole trip we got to see amazing sights and experience local culture.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thank you Sheena ( I love your name) I hope you was have a nice travel for way back , kiss from France
Have a good luck to all

The guide was late 30 minutes. Also, he didn't even remember that we changed the pickup point and waited at the prior pickup point so we all walked to the point. Because of that, the tour delayed for 1 hour.
We has little time in the Lake. Recommend to arrange the tour spots before your tour start.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
hello
I want to put some things in the right order. the tour was reserved for 6 people the client contacted me one day before the tour to tell me that he would be 8 so 2 more which forced us to plan a larger vehicle, the appointment that our client fixed himself have some security issues for pick-up and be 5 minutes walking from the initial pick-up point. with regard to the stops, the customers had all the stops planned with the same durations as stipulated in the presentation of the tour and stayed more than one hour at the lake which is normally planned between 45 minutes and 1 hour depending on the timing of the tour and the driver to drop off the customers at 9.30 p.m., therefore a duration of 13h30 , therefore 2.5 hours more, which largely compensated for the scheduled time. there is a French proverb that says you want butter, butter money and creamer without resentment dear customers
