2.Gorges of Verdon and Fields of Lavender Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 342 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $144

Spend about 10 hours exploring Castellane, the Verdon Gorge, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Valensole lavender fields, and Lake Sainte-Croix from Nice. Small groups of up to 16 travel by air-conditioned vehicle. Guides such as Alessandro, Denys, Jassem, and Roman have earned strong praise, but guide quality and driving style can vary.

“The driving is horrible. It is over six hours of race car dangerous driving through windy roads that did not put you at ease to enjoy the beauty of the area. The itinerary was not fully kept to and everything felt rushed rushed, rushed. 45 minutes in Cassellane, 55 minutes in next town with lunch so no shopping in the market vendors rolled up their goods before we could finish our lunch to walk around if we had any time. For photo up places with no time really spent there no watching the processing of the lavender or time to swim or even take a boat ride at the lake.…”
