Itinerary
(in season June and first week of July) It is one of the must-see places to admire the fields, walk there and especially photograph the landscapes. Indeed, in Valensole the lavender fields are incredibly beautiful and postcard worthy. (available only in June until mid-July) Allow for 4 hours of additional roads for the whole circuit.
The largest canyon in Europe, between the municipalities of Castellane and Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, offers majestic landscapes. The Verdon River took its time and dug this canyon for millennia that can be admired today. We will go to the Galetas bridge where we will have one of the most beautiful views of the Gorges du Verdon and the Lac de Sainte Croix. As a bonus, exceptionally, we will take a little pedal boat ride on the lake, an unforgettable experience!
A village nestled under a rocky cliff and surrounded by mountains on all sides, known for the rich history of its ceramic craftsmanship. You will have free time to visit Moustiers at your leisure. Discover earthenware in many shops and buy souvenirs before having lunch in one of the cafés with terraces.

This was a fantastic tour, and Mo is an incredible guide. He is energetic and enthusiastic - it’s clear he loves taking his guests to all the beautiful places. We were lucky enough to see the lavender fields along with the Verdon Gorge and Moustiers Sainte Marie. Truly incredible places to visit and having Mo there to provide us with informative insights about each location, made the tour that much more special. Don’t miss the opportunity to do this tour. Truly a very special experience. Thanks so much Mo for a wonderful day.
This was the best day of my entire trip. Pictures barely do it justice. The day surpassed expectations in every way and Mo is an incredible tour guide - knowledgeable, professional, and friendly - and an excellent photographer. This is a must do experience if you’re visiting the South of France. Thank you Mo!
Mo was exceptional in finding the best lavender fields at this time of year which was a bit early for the larger fields. We were thrilled with what he shared with us. He is amazing at picture taking ideas at all stops. The Gorge de Verdon was breathtaking and Moustier Sainte Marie was exquisite. He listens to what is important to your group and exceeds expectations. So attentive, good communication while planning and good driver too. Don’t hesitate to schedule a tour with him.
Mo with Eden Trip is hands down the best tour guide we have ever had. His passion and joy for what he does is evident in his ability to take care of his guests. We were treated like family. The tour was amazing. But Mo, is the tour! He is an extraordinary human. I will be recommending him to everyone when we get back home.
Our tour was with Eden trip and our guide was Mo. Mo gave us a fabulous tour of a lavender field even though lavenders not in season yet since our tour was in May. He took some great group photos of us in the field. More fantastic was that Mo piloted a motor boat and took us to Gorges of Verdon on the river for a beautiful gorge adventure. Finally we had a wonderful visit to amazing Moustiers.
We had a fantastic day with Mo visiting Gorges Verdon and Moustiers. Mo is so knowledgeable and kind and nothing was too much trouble for him. He took us to a fabulous restaurant for lunch in Moustiers and made sure that we had many photo opportunities. This day has been the highlight of our entire holiday and we will remember it forever. Thank you Mo !
You absolutely cannot go wrong booking a tour with Mo. Though we had a car and could travel around the area on our own, Mo took us to the best spots, pointed out the most beautiful views and was even a great photographer! He was kind and friendly, providing history of the locations we visited as well as interesting conversation regarding current events and just life itself. He was also engaging and understanding with our children. We feel as though we have made a new friend and would definitely catch up with Mo when back in the area. Another bonus? Not only does he know the best spots, when a lot of the lavender fields had been cut, he found a beautiful alternative still in full bloom where we were the only ones there. Thanks Mo!
Amazind day tour! Mo was very professional, organized and prepared. He even had cushions for all of us to use on the pedal boat. We really enjoyed this tour. Every part of it was amazing. I recommend engaging Mo for your adventures in Provence. I can’t wait to go back!! Thank you Mo!!
Beautiful region, excellent guide, experienced, fun, very polite. 3 wonderful places in one walk.
Our day with Mo was easily our best day of our entire trip. He knows all the best spots and is the best photographer. Our friends were going nuts over our posts of the beautiful places he took us! The town we had lunch in was picture perfect. The shops were authentic and the architecture jaw dropping. The Gorge was like something out of a magazine. Mo was great at lifting the mood of everyone in our family including teenagers! We love Mo and have already recommended him to dear friends without hesitation.
