Excellent tour and guide - Pascal was an excellent guide. I highly recommend you request him when making your reservation. He was a wealth of knowledge. He also saw how much we were enjoying the lake and let us stay longer without even mentioning it. This is an excellent tour. Don’t hesitate, you will enjoy it.

Gorgeous Views, Great Pace - This was such a fun and unique tour! I loved everything about it. I was in a group of five—all solo female travelers, so it was a nice size and we all had something in common.
Our guide, Pascal, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He carried a ton of visuals to pass around the van as he explained the region we were visiting. He also takes great photos!!!
Every stop on this tour is more beautiful than the next, and it’s paced so well. I felt like I had enough time to enjoy each spot fully before moving to the next.

Fun, interesting, worthwhile. - 10/10 Such a great day! I loved hunting for lavender fields in bloom (we were there at the start of the season), visiting picturesque villages, eating lavender ice cream, swimming in stunning blue water and, of course, learning so much from Greg and Damien.

Incredible tour of the countryside in Provence - Our tour with Sebastian was outstanding! He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and so much more. The lavender was not in bloom - we were just a bit early - but the stop at a lavender farm was informative and fun. The town of Moustiers Ste-Marie was precious - we would have liked more time there. Verdon Gorge was one of the most amazing sights I have ever seen. Just stunning. The tour was a good mix of relaxing and active. And Sebastian brought it all to life! Don't miss this one.

A Fantastic Tour of the Gorgeous Verdon Gorge - The villages are picturesque and the people are friendly and welcoming, not to mention the beautiful scenery!
Sebastian, the tour guide, is extremely knowledgeable about the area, and he was kind and attentive. This ensured that I had a great experience, which I’d recommend wholeheartedly.

Great location - Great locations. Great way to see the area. We loved having our own time to explore and grab lunch with our family. We also loved all the spots we were brought to for pictures.

Beautiful village tour! - Beautiful places visited. I wish there was more educational information shared while driving to different locations. Perhaps opportunities to introduce ourselves to other travelers with us in the van…like one fun fact about yourself or something along those lines.

Verdin gorge for 5 minutes! - It was more having a private driver taking us around. There was no information provided by Gabriela about the places we were visiting
Alas the canyon which I suppose was the main reason for this tour we had only five minutes to take a picture from a bridge so disappointingly nothing much to appreciate about this destination
