It was fun but if you get nausea easily or drink/party the day before it might be extremely difficult of a trip because of all the winding roads. Beautiful views though and Gouda our driver was super time efficient. I really appreciated him for that. He tries to make the most of your time! He was awesome!

Our tour of the Gorges Du Verdon with Mario was absolutely unforgettable. He’s an exceptional guide, energetic, talkative, and endlessly positive. Mario went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt taken care of while keeping the day fun, engaging, and stress-free. His passion and local knowledge brought Provence to life, and in just 12 hours we experienced so much more than we ever expected. If you want a guide who combines professionalism with genuine warmth and joy, Mario is the one!

Mario was a fantastic guide on our journey to the Gorges du Verdon. His passion for this part of the country was palpable, and it radiated throughout our group as the day progressed. The itinerary is fast-paced but necessary to fit in so many wonderful stops. Moustiers-Sainte-Marie is every bit as beautiful as described, and Lac de Sainte-Croix does not disappoint (the water really is that blue in person). Spending a full day at each of these locations would still leave you wanting more time. A few good tips for this trip: bring a swimsuit, and if you get carsick easily, come prepared as the roads are winding. Mario did an excellent job checking in on us throughout the day to make sure it wasn’t affecting us too much. Several pit stops along the way also help ease any motion sickness. This has been the highlight of our trip and we would highly recommend it if you are considering venturing out from Nice.

Mario was an excellent guide! He gave us so much history and information throughout the whole day, and organized things perfectly. Beautiful stops, and a packed day to make the most of the time! It was also great to be picked up and dropped off right at our hotel/airbnb! The only thing to mention is that it is a long car ride up and down lots of windy roads. If you easily get car sick, this may be a more difficult ride for you. Our guide was great about making stops and ensuring everyone was comfortable the whole day!

We were a group of eight and had an unforgettable day exploring the Verdon Gorge with Mario as our guide. From the very beginning, he made us feel welcome and created a great atmosphere in the group. Mario was knowledgeable, fun, and full of engaging stories and anecdotes about the area, which made the hike even more enjoyable. He took great care to ensure everyone was comfortable and safe throughout the day. What made the experience even more special was that, after the tour, Mario sent us a beautiful video with photos and highlights from the day, an amazing souvenir that we'll all treasure. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a well-organized, memorable adventure in the Verdon Gorge!
