Tour with lots of photo ops. - Wagoner was an awesome tour guide. He was accommodating to our needs and tailored the tour to highlight the areas in which we were most interested. We were lucky enough to travel when the lavender fields were in full bloom. They were stunning! We are also glad we didn’t skip the Gorges du Verdon while visiting the South of France. More beautiful views. We are a mom with a 22 and 27 year old daughters who took the tour and we all agreed it was a wonderful day. Have your camera ready. This is a great tour for taking lots of photos.

Gorges day trip - Fantastic day trip. Our guide/driver Mario was fantastic- very knowledgeable about the region, and he adjusted our itinerary so we could have more time at the lake. We saw waterfalls, beautiful quaint villages, breathtaking canyon views, Provence countryside, and of course the stunning Lake St Croix. Mario made us feel so welcome and comfortable.

Tour Provence with Laurent - Laurent was punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable! Our tour to Provence was very serene Laurent's laid back personality made us feel like we were driving with an old family friend. He explained the facts about nature and history in such a nuanced way. It was wonderful how we ended our tour with the lavender field. We had a great time getting to know Provence, and him as well! He timed out our stops perfectly, and was easy to work with when we wanted to change some things around. He was very helpful as well. If you want to tour Provence, ASK FOR LAURENT.

Breathtaking and awesome - We had a wonderful time on our tour to the Verdon Gorge. We booked a private tour. Our guide provided lots of history along with other interesting information and let us dictate the flow of our day.

Gorge du Verdon - Overall this was a great trip. The landscape is incredible and well worth the long day and many hours in the car. We did several photo op stops which was very appreciated. However, the stops at the two villages are very short. 40 minutes in Castellane and only an hour in Saint-Marie, which is also the lunch stop. We had a sit down meal which meant we were left with around 20 minutes to look around and get back to the car. So do yourself a favour and grab something on the go so you have as much time as possible to explore this gorgeous place. The lake is amazing. We went swimming but didn't rent a boat because the line was very long and the water was crowded with boat traffic. If you swim, consider beach shoes as the shore and bottom of the lake are pebbles that are painful to walk on. Our driver was lovely but a maniac on the road. This might be par for the course in France.

Nice but a lot of driving - It was a nice day but not what I expected. The second half of the day is much more memorable than the first half. The trip involves a lot of driving. The first stop was a waterfall where we stayed for 10 mins. Then we went to Castellane for 35 mins, saw some beautiful views from the top of the mountain, then the lavender fields for awhile and swimming in the lake for an hour. Either bring your lunch or plan to buy it to go in Castellane.

Gorges du Verdon - Scenery is excellent, A+. Little villages are nice stops, also. This was a trip that we would not have attempted as independent travelers with a rental car due to the switchbacks and rural setting. My only suggestion for improvement is that the guide, although friendly, acted entirely as a driver and provided no commentary - was not a professional guide, as anticipated. That aspect was disappointing and thus, I can't give the trip 5 stars.
