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.
Terrible guide

The itinerary was outstanding! The views and experiences in the French Alps were breathtaking. The only issue was the Guide. He never introduced himself, ran other drivers off the road and scolded any passenger who asked a question. Other than requesting a guide good, this us a wonderful excursion!
We would definitely do it again!

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 .
Beautiful views

A day full of great experiences. Experienced a lot of nature, even seen a lavender field, although the harvest had already taken place. Our guide Jaba took great care of our well-being. The trip is highly recommended.
