Private Gorges du Verdon: Breathtaking Provence Adventure

We went on this tour as part of our honeymoon and feel lucky to have had Raphael as our guide. He was an exceptional tour guide and driver - drove safely and in a way that helped to prevent motion sickness, and he was great at explaining various parts of where we passed by and stopped at. It was a beautiful tour all around, visiting all the quaint towns and beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes along the way. He was very patient and did well with accommodating other participants that might have had any language barriers. He would always point out scenic parts to pay attention to. Very exceptional!

Beautiful views! Gorgeous landscape, lakes and streams. Very friendly and safe driver! Informative conversation about area.

Pick up was on time and everything ran super smoothly, which made the day stress-free from the start. We got to see so many little gems along the way that I never would have discovered on my own, and the views of the Alps were absolutely unreal. Honestly, it felt like something out of a postcard. Our guide was so fun, knowledgeable, and really made the whole experience feel personal. I left with great memories, tons of photos, and a big smile. Definitely worth the time, would recommend to anyone visiting, 10/10!

I joined a group tour this summer to see the lavender fields and go on a lake cruise, and it was absolutely amazing! The moment we arrived at the lavender fields, I was blown away by the endless sea of purple—it looked like something straight out of a fairytale! The air smelled so fresh and calming, and every photo turned out Instagram-perfect 📸💜 The lake cruise was the perfect follow-up. With the sun sparkling on the water and a gentle breeze in the air, it felt so peaceful and relaxing. Sitting on the boat, surrounded by nature and scenic views, I could finally just breathe and enjoy the moment. The tour was super well-organized, and our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and even helped us take great photos (bonus points!). It was such a stress-free way to travel. If you’re looking for a summer trip that’s both relaxing and full of stunning views, I highly recommend this kind of tour. Lavender and lakes? Yes, please!

Amazing tour with Raphael. We enjoyed Castellane, the visit to St. Croix Lake, the visit to the moustiers St Marie, and the lavender fields. He was very engaging and accommodating. He also helped us take some great photos.

A nice and chilling tour overall. Beautiful views and quite a few memorable visits to some local villages. Hopefully can stay a bit longer in the lavender haze.

Raphael was amazing! Beautiful day and amazing tour guide. Very happy! Thank you so much. Highly recommend this tour...

We loved this tour. It was a very interesting drive out and back but totally worth it because it is a great destination. The tour driver was warm and friendly and made this tour extra special.

Bruno was our guide, we had a wonderful time during the tour. He took us through incredible towns, giving us his knowledge and enthusiasm about each place. Great tour to go places that otherwise you wouldn’t visit and that are completely worth it.

Overall this was a great trip. The landscape is incredible and well worth the long day and many hours in the car. We did several photo op stops which was very appreciated. However, the stops at the two villages are very short. 40 minutes in Castellane and only an hour in Saint-Marie, which is also the lunch stop. We had a sit down meal which meant we were left with around 20 minutes to look around and get back to the car. So do yourself a favour and grab something on the go so you have as much time as possible to explore this gorgeous place. The lake is amazing. We went swimming but didn't rent a boat because the line was very long and the water was crowded with boat traffic. If you swim, consider beach shoes as the shore and bottom of the lake are pebbles that are painful to walk on. Our driver was lovely but a maniac on the road. This might be par for the course in France.
