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

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…”

Jassem was a fantastic driver — navigating the winding roads with confidence and care, which made everyone feel at ease.

“Such an amazing trip! Bruno was so much fun and informative. He worked hard to help the group gel together and we had the best day! Super comfortable van - the trip went around so many mountain roads and the fact I wasn’t even remotely car sick was a miracle. All the sights we saw were incredible. I thought I knew France reasonably well - I did not! Long day but so worth it.”
