Absolutely LOVED our day. Our guide (can’t remember her name, sorry!) was super patient with our group of 6—including my grandma, who walks slowww. She made sure we all could keep up and still pointed out the most EPIC views (the lake was unreal). We had just enough time at the stops, though I wish the weather had been a bit cooler. Heads up, the AC isn’t super strong in the van, so dress light if it’s August! Would do it again just for the photos I got of the gorge.

Went with my boyfriend for a day trip. Everything ran on time. Catia was a GEM—she could drive those wild mountain roads like a pro (seriously, I would've freaked out). She pointed out wildflowers and we even saw some goats on the hillside. Moustiers village is adorable, and we got the best lemon sorbet ever there. Worth every penny!

Our guide Raphael was hilarious and made everyone feel welcome. He even helped us negotiate kayak rentals (saved us a few euros!). The views are next-level, especially the drive along the cliffs. Just a heads up: the winding roads are not for the faint of stomach.

Explore the kaleidoscopic landscapes of Verdon Gorges and vast lavender fields on this full-day guided tour.

Your guide will first take you to the 'Gorge of the Wolf' , passing by lush greenery and rocky cliffs to arrive at its waterfall, a popular spot for hiking.

After halting at Castellane, travel alongside Verdon to witness the magical 700-meter-deep canyon, the blue hues of which are worth admiring.

As ‘gorges’ as that was, the vast fields of lavender and the village of St. Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, known for its ceramic art and craft, will leave you awed.

Took my mom for her birthday and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since. Our guide Elizabeth had so many fun facts and made sure everyone got their perfect photo spot. Even when it started drizzling, she handed out ponchos. 10/10 would recommend.

Our whole family (kids 7&10) had a FANTASTIC time. The guide was so patient with the little ones—pointed out birds and even found a spot for us to skip stones at the lake. Bring towels if you wanna swim!
