Long day with more activities than expected. Had an enjoyable time. The winding roads were a lot more than we expected.
long day necessary to discover the biggest canyon in Europe and making comfortables stop a long the tour thank you so much for your kind review
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!
Thank you so much for your feedback, you are also a great persons and friendly . I wish you many good things and good luck 🍀
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.
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
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!
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 Alex
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.
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!
Great experience with Alex as our driver and tour guide. Unforgettable and definitely a highlight of our trip
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
Madame The May 30 We don’t make a Verdon gorges an you give your name to find if the driver was Alex Thank you
Alex is an amazing tour guide. His knowledge of history in the area was much appreciated. He is a very pleasant fellow!
