It was amazing - very sunny and hot and most of the day we spent on the road, but the lavender fields were beautiful, as well as Lac de Sainte Croix. We were supposed to have only 15 min at the lake(last stop), and leave at 4:30pm for Nice, but we misunderstood our guide, and thought we had time to get a paddle boat in the lake and be back by 5:30pm. We got back at 5:05, but our amazing guide was thankfully still waiting for us . So, make sure you listen carefully for the times, and be aware - no lake swim here :) (we did had a blast though!). I think this should be part of it.

Great communication for pickup, very prompt and on time. Guide was super helpful and friendly (Francis). Went out of his way to ensure we had a good time, always checking in to make sure we were having a good time or enjoying our meal or to take a picture. The roads on the trip are very windy to be wary of car sickness. The views were stunning, highly recommended
