Chauffeur service
Tomikaaaaa, Dec 2024
The sights themselves are nicely selected, although it's a lot of driving and there's not a lot of time at each stop but what can you do in a day from Nice. With Bacho I would classify this as a chauffeur service and not a guided tour. He is a nice guy but he said in the car he needs to focus so he won't talk and then at every stop he said 1 sentence and we were let go.
Fun excursion while visiting Nice

Jack did a great job taking care of the needs of the group. He provided good information about the sights along the way. I would recommend this trip—you cover a number of scenic spots and some cute small towns along the way.
Misrepresented advertising. It’s a scam.

This tour is a scam. Viator should take a closer look on this. I bought this tour hoping to see the lavander fields. I saw reviews the day before that the lavanders had been harvested mid July and yet they are still selling it. I asked the driver when he came to pick us up and he confirmed that there is no lavander blooms anymore. We decided to forego it as I felt I’m really not getting what I paid for which is about $133. And we are a party of 3. I spoke to the local operator by the name of Jennifer to discuss the matter and I got the most rude response. I took the matter to Viator stating it’s a false advertising. Viator despite that denied the request for a refund. I am now appealing the case because I feel that is not right and definitely not a good business practice. I have taken multiple tours with them so I hope that they will be fair. If you refer to reviews on this tour you will see the latest reviews.
Our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable

The most memorable part of my experience was the small town on our way to Provanve. Our guide also went above and beyond to give us great experience. Traffics was a big congested but the guide was able to maneuver through the congestion and still prove us with valuable information about the area driving by. It was an unforgettable experience
challenging 11 and one half hour trip.

long day , driver a little crazy, drove too fast on those windy roads. most people got a little carsick, me a whole lot. driver insisted on playing his french music loud and singing along,
charming for a little while , then annoying. driver tried to give information about the area but accent was very strong and hard to understand. he also left his window open often which reduced effectiveness of the air conditioning.
like I said , the driver tried but I don't think this is the right line of work for him. Definitely need to warn people about highly likely possibility of motion sickness on this tour.
the verdon gorge was beautiful and I enjoyed swimming there.
