131 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $16

Almost nothing famous on this coast is inside Nice, so half of these 15 are departures rather than days in town. Prices, running times and how far each one really goes are below.

3.Gorges of Verdon and Fields of Lavender Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,707 reviews · 9 hours · from $129

Full-day Verdon Gorge, Castellane and Moustiers from Nice, with turquoise views and seasonal lavender fields, plus Alpine photo backdrops.

“Matt - the driver drove very fast, something maybe not everyone will enjoy. But driving was safe. This might be the only point for critics. His fast driving enabled a lot of time for visits plus stopping at more nice photo spots, than usual. In addition there have been some more explanations. Visiting the old villages was good, but Verdon-canyon was special. As lavender fields have been gone we had 1h to go by pedal boat into the canyon-great. Matt enjoyed taking us on the trip and showing the beauty of the vilages and the canyon - we enjoyed this too - we had a great time. Definitely a trip…”
