Happy, beautiful Verdon Gorges Day - Was an amazing tour so beautiful with Matt the guide who made it even more enjoyable with his French music playing & his happy personality, very knowledgeable. A long day & dissappointing that there were no lavendar fields. So worth the long destination

Our driver was excellent - Such a wonderful tour that help to explore the most beautiful countryside side of France . It is a long day over 10 hours but absolutely worth it . Castellane village and Moustlers Sainte Marle are surrounded by mountains and rocky cliffs and absolutely spectacular! Gorges du Verdon is an amazing deep canyon with the astonishing view ! Our tour guide and driver from Albania was very professional and help us to adjust to the motion sickness on the winding roads . Our guide went above and beyond to give us the best experience and he was able to maneuver through the winding roads while the strongest storm started in the if the day .

Great tour! - I loved this tour! It was a short group with only 5 of us - I enjoyed visiting the small villages along with the multi stops we did for the viewpoints - it was stunning! It is winding roads but this didn't impact me at all (I've never had issues with winding roads though) but it was a bit unconfertable at times haha but I enjoyed this day out! Our driver was Jack - he picked me up and was friendly throughout the whole day!

Fun excursion while visiting Nice - Jack did a great job taking care of the needs of the group. He provided good information about the sights along the way. I would recommend this trip—you cover a number of scenic spots and some cute small towns along the way.

Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable - The most memorable part of my experience was the small town on our way to Provanve. Our guide also went above and beyond to give us great experience. Traffics was a big congested but the guide was able to maneuver through the congestion and still prove us with valuable information about the area driving by. It was an unforgettable experience

A tour with breath taking sites to see! - Overall I enjoyed the day trip to see the gorges, the waterfalls and the stop at a nearby village with markets. The scenery was dramatic and worth the trip and the village was absolutely charming. The one downside was that Jen, our guide, was simply not fluent in English and had to have a French Canadian interpret some of the questions I asked. She also seemed to have limited knowledge of the sites of the tour. I think having a knowledgeable guide would have enhanced the experience.

Chauffeur service - The sights themselves are nicely selected, although it's a lot of driving and there's not a lot of time at each stop but what can you do in a day from Nice. With Bacho I would classify this as a chauffeur service and not a guided tour. He is a nice guy but he said in the car he needs to focus so he won't talk and then at every stop he said 1 sentence and we were let go.

Misrepresented advertising. It’s a scam. - This tour is a scam. Viator should take a closer look on this. I bought this tour hoping to see the lavander fields. I saw reviews the day before that the lavanders had been harvested mid July and yet they are still selling it. I asked the driver when he came to pick us up and he confirmed that there is no lavander blooms anymore. We decided to forego it as I felt I’m really not getting what I paid for which is about $133. And we are a party of 3. I spoke to the local operator by the name of Jennifer to discuss the matter and I got the most rude response. I took the matter to Viator stating it’s a false advertising. Viator despite that denied the request for a refund. I am now appealing the case because I feel that is not right and definitely not a good business practice. I have taken multiple tours with them so I hope that they will be fair. If you refer to reviews on this tour you will see the latest reviews.
