Disappointing day

1.00This was not a good day from the start. Our driver was good at communicating that he would be late, due to waiting for a no-show customer, which put us almost an hour behind schedule. After which, the driver seemed to be trying to make up time driving very fast through curvy roads, which resulted in 3 of the 6 passengers feeling motion sickness. Also, it is poorly named: the Gorge is a quick 10 minute stop, and the lavender doesn’t typically bloom till mid to late June. We did see sites quickly, but the driver was a driver only: not a guide. We had about 2 1/2 hours on the ground, otherwise 7 hours of a roller coaster ride. We lost a chunk of money, and a day of our vacation. We will check the ratings a bit better and not chose those rated under 4!
Nice day trip with that certain something.

4.00Impressive nature, beautiful villages. But please mention in the description that people with problems when cornering should not travel or should take travel tablets beforehand. It was critical for my wife. Thank God, however, everything went well; and we could enjoy the ride. Meet new people. That's great.
Never Again! Probably the worse experience I've ever had traveling.

1.00This company doesn't care about your time or your money. Made a reservation for the 0800 tour. So my friend and I woke up at 0600 to ensure we arrived at the pick up location on time as the reservation stated. However, the time for pick up continued to get moved back. First, by 10 mins. Which was fine. Then, 30 minutes. Which is annoying but still doable. Then it was 40 minutes. Then an hour. Then I get an image that shows pick up as 0913. Their advertisement of the type was false and they had zero respect for other people's time. Then when they finally did show up we were stores to just be overjoyed, because at least they showed up. That is unprofessional and extremely disrespectful of those people whose time they just disregarded. I asked for my money back because why is it in for them to be over an hour late, but I probably would have been left had I been late at all. Viator confirmed my concern and requested all of this "evidence" to prove my claim... which I provided so my friend and I could receive our refund. Only to be told 2 days later that they couldn't do anything. 😑 I can almost guarantee that this happens often. I will never book this company or through Viator for any further travel events. It can't be difficult to run a honest and processional business.
Excellent experience
