It was great experience during this tour. Beautiful views and cosy villages.
Thank you for your pleasant review about your day. We hope to see you again soon on the French Riviera..
It was a long day but Stephane did a great job. He was very concerned with our comfort and made sure we saw all the highlights. It was very hard to find any lavender because of the heatwave but he knew of a field that still had some flowers. We also saw a sunflower field. He made a point to find what we were all interested in so he could make sure we all saw what we wanted.

Had a wonderful time on this day trip. It was nice to see the countryside and small villages. Stefan was a great guide to spend the day with. Very personable and gave us little bits of history along the way. We were lucky to see a lavender field, but the highlight for me was swimming at the gorge. Going in a small group made it easy and hassle free to see many things that would have felt inaccessible otherwise. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed this experience and met some wonderful people. Ruben was our guide and he did an amazing job; he was very charismatic and made an extra effort to look for lavender fields since they were already harvested. Luckily, he found the last of them, and we were very happy. He also provided some great info about restaurants and spots in the city, which was very helpful. The cherry on top was Lake Sainte-Croix. I highly recommend this tour!
