For the tour, we only made a few stops to the lavender fields, take photos for 10mins - there was no guided tour in a lavender center as specified in the description. Also, no walking tour in Aix-en-Provence. Basically, what you will get from this tour is 1. quick stops to open lavender fields 2. will be dropped for lunch in a town in Valensole (about an hour) 3. Will be dropped to Moustiers-Sainte-Marie where you will roam by yourselves for about an hour 4. then quick stop in Gorges du Verdon for photo (about 10mins). That’s it, the rest of the time you are in the car. I understand that this is a long drive from Nice but the tour is just very disorganized, no context given to stops (we had to ask everytime) and supposed inclusions on the tour, e.g. guided tour, did not happen. Furthermore, the Moroccan-French lady driver that toured us was rude, impatient, disorganized, and is an unsafe driver. She arrived late, drives fast even around pedestrians, and she drove past through a road bump that nearly injured us; thankfully all passengers had seatbelts on. She provided little details on our destinations, or where we are going next. Overall, not worth the price and the unprofessional attitude of our driver only made it worse.

It seemed like we were sitting in the car all day long. We were in Aix for half hour and could not even finish our coffee. We were supposed to have had a ‘walking tour of Aix’. Nothing at all. We then went on to the Lavender fields and in the brochure it said that we would be shown how Lavender was processed!!! Nothing. We only stopped at some lavender souvenir shop where we could buy anything to do with lavender, the staff there were only interested in selling their merchandise. Toilets there were disgusting and didn’t even have toilet paper. Appalling. Again, I only had time to take 3 photographs and I am at photographer!!! We then rushed off to Lac de Sainte Croix. which was the only nice experience of the whole day. Beautiful. At least we did have about an hour there which was great. The only nice experience of the day. Not worth the money. Driver was very pleasant and was ‘in training’ for the Grand Prix, not his fault, I blame the company he works for ´Smartour Riviera’ Save your money everyone.
