Gorges du Verdon Shared Tour from Nice

We didn't know what to expect on this tour. It was a long 9hr tour including travel time to and from the Lake. Justine, our tour guide was wonderful, very accommodating and spoke very good English. Our first stop was the waterfalls, followed by a drive thru the canyon. We stopped at a small village called Castellane to grab something to eat. We continued down the mountain admiring the majestic peaks and little villages tuck in. We arrived a Village de Moustiers-Saint-Marie where we had lunch at a small restaurant. Next was the Lac de Sainte-Croix, where we had a choice to rent a kayak or pedal boat. From there we drove back around 2 hours mostly on Highway back to Nice.

Great experience . Bruno was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly, funny and helpful. The tour itself was amazing. Beautiful views and quaint towns. Gracias Bruno

Really enjoyed the day! Unfortunately you are in the van longer than you are at the visiting sites. If you get car sick easily make sure you take medication beforehand. Definitely felt like time was wasted picking everyone up and dropping everyone off at their respective hotels. Would recommend 1-2 meeting points and not 4 pick up locations all over nice. Our guide and driver Justine was kind and attentive.

I would have given to this tour a 4-5 starts review based on the places we went to. They were all beautiful. But I am giving it 3 stars due to our driver-guide tour person. He was making some jokes that were not funny and comments that were not interesting. He also were not concern about a passenger hitting her hand with the door. Instead he was making “jokes”. Again the places we went to were very beautiful. Just the driver was not very good for this type of trips and the long drive.

Justine did a wonderful job! She let us get out at certain “picture perfect” locations and take photos of the incredible views. Yes you are in the car longer than your at the stops but the villages and the lake were incredible. Bring meds if you get car sick.

This was a great way to see some of the beautiful small villages and countryside outside of Nice! The Gorge was beautiful and it was great to be able to rent a boat (or kayak or swim) in the Gorge! Justine was a wonderful guide and we highly recommend this excursion!

Justin was very kind and professional

This is an all day tour. Lots of driving on winding roads with little time to explore. The van was tight and the driver was bad. The diver knew nothing about any of the places, could not answer basic questions. He was late picking us up and accused us of being at fault when we had been at the door for 45 minutes waiting. When we arrived at a scheduled stop we were told to get out of the van and be back in a set period. That is okay, but we weren't given basic information like, where the bathrooms were located. At one point in the trip the driver went speeding through the scene of an accident. The police made him stop and scolded him. When we arrived at the Gorge du Verdon, it was recommended that we complete our trip up the river in 45 minutes or less. We took all of the allotted hour. There were not enough stops at view points. And crazy, unsafe driving throughout.

Dennis picked us up right on time at our location. He had a strong knowledge of all the areas we visited, and kept us on track regarding time in each location. Really enjoyed the small villages we visited! Seeing the Gorge from a high vantage point was breathtaking! And then having the opportunity to visit the base of the Gorge was wonderful. Originally planned to swim, but elected to rent a boat and navigate into the Gorge, which was extremely beautiful! Highly recommend this experience! Thank you Dennis!

Beautiful to view, loved renting little boat. But the drive was long, lots of turns. Visit was too short in villages, also at the lake. We were more exhausted from the long drive. Elton, our driver was a professional.
