Private 9-hour Verdon Gorges and Sainte-Croix Lake day trip from Nice, with Castellane, Moustiers and possible lavender fields.

“Our guide Bruno was excellent, jovial and such a good laugh! The highlight of the tour was definitely Lake Verdon, where we rented a paddle boat and spent an hour in the beautiful lake and gorge. An hour felt short but with a 2.5 hour drive to & from Nice and short stops at the villages for snacks en route, it was inevitable. Good tour w beautiful scenery throughout the drive !”

8.Verdon Gorges & Lavender Fields Tour & Transport

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 40 reviews · from $129

Nice to Verdon Gorges by small group van: waterfall, turquoise canyon roads, Moustier ceramics, Lake Sainte Croix, and seasonal lavender.

“Winding through mountains in a Mercedes sprinter van on a shared tour was never going to be completely smooth… But the squeaking, worn-down shocks on the van should have served as compelling evidence that the other reviews mentioning the poor driving performance of the tour guide were indeed accurate. But we don’t get car sick easily so “no big deal”, we told ourselves. We endured as the guide used bus lanes and highway entrance ramps to bypass heavy or backed-up traffic. We endured as the guide intimidated numerous cyclists by practically rear-ending them off the road. We endured as the guide passed cyclists dangerously, with imminent curves limiting visibility of…”

“Our private tour with Adam was the absolute highlight of our French Riviera trip. He took us to beautiful medieval villages, walked through each one with us, and shared fascinating history and stories the entire day. He even surprised us with a visit to a charming village not on our itinerary, which ended up being one of our favorite stops. Adam went above and beyond—taking wonderful photos of us throughout the day and making sure we never felt rushed. His kindness, deep knowledge, and flexibility made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting the French Riviera, we can’t recommend this tour highly enough!”

11.Gorges du Verdon Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $1,051

A private, door-to-door day from Nice to Castellane, Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, and Lake Sainte-Croix with big Verdon views and lavender-season timing.

“Scenery is excellent, A+. Little villages are nice stops, also. This was a trip that we would not have attempted as independent travelers with a rental car due to the switchbacks and rural setting. My only suggestion for improvement is that the guide, although friendly, acted entirely as a driver and provided no commentary - was not a professional guide, as anticipated. That aspect was disappointing and thus, I can't give the trip 5 stars.”
