Unforgettable French Riviera: Verdon Gorge & Lavender Fields

Overall it was a great day. Our guide, Alessandro, provided great information about the region and its history. Pick up was on time, communication was great and the transportation was comfortable. The scenery is incredible. The Gorge de Verdon is a must see. Had we gone in the summer the lavender field would have been stunning. If seeing lavender is a highlight for you, then you need to do this tour in the summer when the lavender is in bloom.

A Fantastic experience with beautiful views. Our guide Alessandro did the whole trip worth while. He is very polite, funny and a very skilled/safe driver. We recommend everyone to take the tour!

Despite not being able to see the Lavander Fields (the flowers were harvested already), we really enjoyed the Gorges of Verdon experience. The villages were just so lovely. Alessandro, our guide, so informative. He was always looking out after our safety .

Amazing scenery, too bad the lavender had allready been harvested. The guide was nice. We had many stops. The road was a bit tough, but the amazing views was worth the hassle.

Spent the day with David exploring the Verdon Gorge and lavender fields. He was an excellent guide, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.

It's a comprehensive tour of some of the most beautiful places near Nice. Be prepared for a long and spectacular day.

Denys was fantastic. He applied his expert knowledge and made a great day. He found a patch of lavender many days after the harvest.

The trip was good - especially the bootride in the end (although that was on our own expense and not included in the price). It’s a long drive though and you could not hear the drivers information about the scenery in the back. But all together I would recommend going there because the scenery is amazing.

Unfortunately the driver was sick and did not appear to be comfortable speaking English, which was the entire group. At the start he notified us that he would not be answering any questions during the trip due to the drive being into the mountains. But even on level surface driving into the different stops he spoke no more than 5 sentences of information except what time we needed to return to the van. I would have given this tour ZERO stars except he found one of the few remaining patches of lavender. This was the consensus of other passengers as well. It’s one thing when the driver and group don’t communicate, but then have a guide or alt a minimum written or electronic access to the highlights of the 6+ hr trip. Viator, I would expect better from you.

The itinerary was adjusted without advance warning. It felt very rushed and the entire tour was two hours shorter than advertised. The driver was an aggressive driver on difficult roads which resulted in significant car sickness for several passengers. He functioned as only a driver; he did not provide any information on the locations on the itinerary. There was no tour of the lavender fields. Instead we stopped on the side of the road for less than 10 minutes to take pictures. I have booked several tours through Viator in different countries and this was the worst tour. I do not recommend this tour. It was 2 1/2 hours outside of the car and 6 hours driving.
