ニース：ヴェルドン渓谷とラベンダー畑ツアー

Such a good experience! Our tour guide, Aleksandar, was professional and a great driver, he gave us great insights:) Everything was lovely, I just wish we would have spent more time at the lake!

+1

A fantastic tour to some beautiful villages along the Verdon Gorges. Highlights were spotting some eagles from vast vantage points and the gorgeous villages of Moustiers - then boating in the lake. Armen was a fantastic guide, taking care that all were happy and comfortable throughout, keeping to time but not rushed. He offered take photos from the best spots. You could easily spend hours more in each of these places - but that would be true even if we stayed a week!

My guide was professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. The scenery was incredible and awe inspiring. BUT: the tour company could and should at a minimum provide cold water for your visitors. And if visitors have signed up to see the Gorges and the lavender fields after the lavender season is over, you should inform visitors beforehand. Right now, your advertising is deceptive.

Aleksandar was absolutely great! He was friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire tour enjoyable from start to finish.

Aleksandar was an incredible guide and went above and beyond for the group to have the best experience. Verdon Gorges is a must visit place and I definitely recommend Alex.

I rarely write reviews like this, but what happened on this tour was serious enough that I believe future travellers should know about it. I was genuinely looking forward to the Gorges du Verdon excursion. I arrived as requested, boarded the vehicle and fully intended to enjoy the day. Unfortunately, we never got there. From the beginning, our driver/guide Matthieu was sullen and unfriendly. The situation escalated dramatically while collecting another couple, when he became extremely aggressive towards the female passenger. I intervened because the way he was speaking to her was completely unacceptable. What followed became increasingly hostile and volatile. At one point, while visibly angry, he pulled the vehicle out into traffic without properly looking. This mattered particularly because we were about to spend approximately 12 hours with this man, much of it driving on winding mountain roads. The passenger who bore the brunt of his aggression later told me she genuinely did not feel safe with him driving us. Neither did I feel prepared to continue under those circumstances. Three of the six passengers therefore left the tour. We did not simply change our minds or decide we no longer wanted the excursion: we specifically asked whether another driver could take us so that we could continue the tour. No replacement was available to us and we were returned to Nice. I subsequently learned that the three passengers who remained were transferred to another driver. That fact speaks for itself. What disappoints me almost as much as the incident itself is the operator’s response afterwards. I sent a detailed written account immediately after being returned to Nice and requested a refund. I followed up twice. My messages were read but received no response. The other couple who left with me had booked the same tour through GetYourGuide; they have since told me that GetYourGuide initiated their refund. I booked through TripAdvisor and, at the time of writing, my refund has been refused after the operator declined to approve it. I am therefore not giving this rating simply because we encountered a rude guide. People can have bad days and personalities can clash. I am giving it because three passengers felt compelled to leave a tour they had paid for and wanted to take because of the driver’s behaviour, the remaining passengers were subsequently moved to another driver, and the operator has so far failed to engage with my complaint at all. Most frustrating of all, I lost a day trip I had been really looking forward to. A refund can return the price of a ticket; it cannot give somebody back a day of their holiday. I hope the operator takes this incident seriously. In my view, continuing to put a driver in charge of paying passengers after conduct of this nature has been reported would be extremely concerning.

Our tour guide, Alexander, managed the day very well; he was knowledgeable about the history, and it was an enjoyable excursion.

Getyyourguide did not notice that the excursion even having hired it in Spanish, would be in English, but Aleksandar at all times was aware of us and was very friendly, making the excursion enjoyable.

Tour to Canyon Verdon and little towns and attractions on the way was purely AWESOME! Aleksander was the best guide for that, tour was humorous, interesting and so cool! I highly recommend this tour and guide 🙌🏻👌🏻

Everything was very good, especially Roman, a full day. We really enjoyed the route and the lake, the small town too.
