The guide is humorous and the trip is fun. Verdon canyon is especially amazing but we met a thunderstorm there. Hence, had no chance for the boat ride. Not really interested for L'Occitane factory visit. If we could opt out of the visit or replace with wine tour, it may be more fun for us.

This tour take place every Wednesday and I think The best months to enjoy this tour are July and August because our journey to the canyons was surrounded by the blossoms Lavendar Fields but we didn't see them since it was September. Our tour guide/driver is Paco, he is very helpful in describing the history n information about Provence and the canyons.. We like the scenery very much!! Great!
