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!
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.
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 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
