Magical! - Jean is the sweetest, he is very passionate and informative about Verdon area and Nice :) Lovely tour of the mountain areas of Provence with the best driver/guide/geologist! Expect waterfalls, mountains, vulture spotting, clearest creeks, cool town ruins, and of course the amazing lake. Thanks again!

Nicole was great - Beautiful tour. The roads are windey and quite steep, and our 13 year old got motion sickness. Nicole did a great job to accommodate her. The views were amazing and we enjoyed the stops…wish we had had more time at the lake though. Do know for this tour…bring a swimsuit and towel for a fresh dip!

A marvellous journey into the land of beauty and amazing feelings - The very nice Mr. Gouda picked us up from the hotel. We met a young lady and a gentleman, who won our hearts with their charm and unusual closeness in their manner. We went together to the mountains to conquer the Verdon Canyon. Something incredibly unusual was to sail together around the canyon. Dear Captain and S-B, use witeksw,gmail.com. This comment probably can be visible in Madrid also :-) Incredible tour! Witek

1st choice from south of france - One of the finest from south of france. At countryside drive , jaw dropping views , beautiful medieval towns and finest experiance of verdon valley/ river is such a gem. Make sure you spend more time at riverside like atleast 2 hrs and atleast 2 hrs at moustier st marie. One should skip and fast forward inbetween breaks to save time .As main attraction deserves more time. Our guide & friend mr. Bruno was really awesome , funny ,helpful ,informative & througout entertaining. Always recommended . Please ask for mr.bruno as tour guide .u will love the experiance.

Wonderful Nature Trip - The trip itinerary is great, it covers a lot in one day. We got picked up on time and our vehicle was clean and comfortable. Our tour guide Elizabeth made the experience outstanding. She was lively full of information and extremely funny. I 100% recommend taking this tour.

A great day - It’s a lot in one day but very nice, only options at the lake are to rent a boat as there is no shade, but you only get 1 hour there so it’s not much time! The lavender fields are amazing, wish I would have taken nice clothes to change into for pictures

Ok - The tour was okay but if you want a long time at the beautiful Verdon Canyon, this tour is not for you. In total, we probably spent about 7 hours sitting in the van. We got 1 hour at the canyon and parked so far away we had to get a peddle boat and race over, and got to swim for about 15 minutes before having to go back. The lavender fields would have been nice, but they were harvested. I think a lot of the activities could have been condensed. My husband and I went on our honeymoon and it was our mistake thinking we would get to enjoy and relax at Verdon canyon which was not the case.

Disappointed - Unfortunately this was one of our tours we were not impressed with. By the time we got to the gorge itself, we were so far away from the opening, we had to walk back to get an electric boat and had only 10 minutes in the actual gorge. Our driver went by all the vendors to the other side of the lake. Our driver raced on the road, several people got car sick.
