The best day in Aix
jlc101214, Dec 2024
Tom was wonderful. He was warm, welcoming, and friendly. We all just stepped into the day like old friends. Really one of the most enjoyable days we had during our vacation. Recommend him without reservation. You will not be disappointed and he will make sure that you have a memorable day.
Great trip

Tomasz was a great tour guide. The boat experience on the lake was one of a kind. We spend time at the beach. Great trip for a family of four especially with small kids.
Misleading - Gorge du Verdon and Moustiers Saint-Marie NOT covered
Veronica_T, Dec 2024
If you are expecting to visit the majestic Gorge du Verdon on this tour, you will be disappointed because despite the picture shown and itinerary description for this tour, you will be brought to Esparron-de-Verdon instead of Gorge du Verdon. The tour also lists a visit to Mounties Saints-Marie, passing by Alps-de-Haute-Provence and Var, all of which did not take place.
Responses from Tomasz K
The picture from my offer shows exactly the place where you went by the electric boat - the canyon of Gorges du Verdon; to go there you have to start by Esparron lake which is the part of Gorges du Verdon and its second biggest lake. On this trip you have seen as well the Sainte Croix lake, the most spectacular lake of Gorges du Verdon. You can't see "more". You told me that "the water is not the same colour like in the offer" - :) :) - of course the water colour changes according to the weather and sun.. Everything you wrote is totally false. We passed through Alpes de Haute Provence department (which doesn't mean we go to Alps:) and a part of drive had place in Var department as well. For Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, as explained in the offer, if clients decide to not do the boat or if there is bad weather, they can go to this village instead of the boat. This day was perfect for the boat so there was no reason to cancel the boat. Actually our trip lasted 8h30 insted of 7 hours...Really, how can you complain?..For any person reading this answer, the same day, the same trip and same group I had Laura and her husband from US..they put a very nice comment concerning this trip (Laura_E)...Very nice and honest people, hopefully they were there this day..
Lasting memories

I am glad I packed a towel and sunscreen for a day I will never forget. The canyon is gorgeous. The picnic lunch a taste of Provence and the swim off the boat refreshing. Between destinations we made stops to see a lavender and sunflower field which made the day magical!
