Gorges du Verdon : Lavandas, Cañón Barco Picnic & Pueblos

Good trip if you are in Provence. Boat trip in Verdon gorges was the first of the kind ex. You get to drive an electric boat all by yourself. Water was amazing bluish green. Lavender fields may not be as flashy violet as you see on the google. I traveled on 6th July 2026 in the middle of a heat wave.

Tom was an outstanding guide—warm, prepared, and deeply knowledgeable. The picnic he arranged, the gorgeous swimming spots in the Gorges du Verdon, and the secluded lavender field made the day unforgettable. His kindness and attention to detail turned this into one of the best experiences of our French Riviera trip.

Go there with your eyes closed; great camping to relax in nature.

We were fortunate enough to enjoy a magical day with Tom to Gorges du Verdon. From the moment we were picked up, Tom was so friendly and accommodating especially considering it was a hot day. We were a party of two and there were only two others on the trip, making the journey very comfortable and personal. When we arrived at the gorges, we were given two hours in a private boat to explore the gorges. We ate, swam and enjoyed the picturesque views. The food and wine were a highlight, Tom was very generous with the portions and we both arrived back to the vehicle very full. Then we stopped by a lavender field and heritage listed village Saint-Croix with a gorgeous lake that was beautiful to swim in. We couldn’t recommend this tour enough. Tom was friendly and knowledgeable, he made our day so special and took photos of us at every stop!! Thank you Tom

SUPERB in EVERY way!!!!! Tom is relaxed, informative, enthusiastic, and deeply knowledgeable about the area. Our lunch was lovely, locally sourced, and a beautiful addition to our day.

The day that we spent exploring the Verdon region was a highlight of our time in Southern France. Les Gorges du Verdon are truly breathtaking and there is beauty everywhere you look. Tom is an excellent tour guide and arranged a day that combined history and culture with extraordinary views and experiences. We began with a private boat trip through Les Gorges du Verdon where we ate a picnic of traditional French delicacies and wine. We then travelled to the village of Saint Croix, stopping to view (and smell) the fields of lavender and sage along the way. The tour was very relaxed and it was a pleasure to share time and stories with Tom. He did a wonderful job of providing information and entertainment while also allowing us time for private experiences. Communication and coordination were excellent. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Excellent trip and wonderful guide.

Great trip. Tom was an amazing guide. He took care of everything from boat rentals, lunch, and making the day a wonderful experience! Totally fun day in the incredible Gorge du Verdon!

This was an incredible day and the highlight of our time in France. Tom was an amazing guide - he provided helpful information, took us to unique spots, and packed an incredibly tasty lunch. He even accommodated our food allergies last minute. I would highly recommend this trip to one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen - you will not regret it!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour to the Gorges du Verdon. Tomasz was a fantastic guide, so welcoming, knowledgeable and personable. The itinerary of the tour was perfect and the two hours spent on the gorge in an electric boat with a delightful picnic was a highlight of our trip so far. We were joined by two other couples who we enjoyed meeting and spending the day with. It was an excellent day. Thanks Tomasz!!
