Fantastic tour of Verdon and Moustiers Ste Marie
Greg Duvaut was our guide for this wonderful tour of Verdon gorge and Moustiers Ste Marie. He is the best. We had some rain during the day, and our time at Verdon had to be cut short, but he was flexible enough to take us to another place so we would have the full experience in the region. I’ve never had a tour guide who made such an effort to make sure everyone was included in conversation, even if none of us spoke their language (we had a sweet Italian couple who only spoke Italian). We had great discussions during the drive, and Greg was a wealth of information. He’s ready/going and professional. I loved the farm he brought us to, as well as the sights themselves. It was a fantastic tour and I highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Bonjour, your review just made our day! We're so happy you enjoyed your tour and our guide. Guests like you are the reason we love what we do. We look forward to seeing you again soon. We're waiting for you for another adventure in Provence, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Loire, Champagne, Paris and Normandy. Team A La Française.

A “must” tour to do if you are visiting Provence!!!
The most beautiful tour of Verdon Canyon & Moustiers-Sainte-Marie. The manmade lake was so very beautiful and all the small town/villages were so quaint. Our tour guide Greg was so knowledgeable and with a witty sense of humor made the tour so enjoyable. I hope to be able to visit again!!!
Response from the operator: Bonjour Shelby, Thank you for this nice comment! We are happy that you enjoyed the landscapes of Provence as well as the tour with our guide Greg. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for another memorable experience! Team A la Française!

A must do tour!!
This experience with our host Jessie was one of the best tours we have done in Aix en Provence. You had time to do the steps to the church, which was fabulous, and time to have lunch and explore village. And then the beautiful views of the gorge.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We're delighted to read that you enjoyed your visit with Jessy. His passion, professionalism, and knowledge are truly appreciated, and we'll be sure to pass on your compliments. Thank you also for your recommendation—it means a lot to us. We look forward to welcoming you back for another À LA FRANÇAISE experience! Best regards, A LA FRANCAISE!

Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aix-en-Provence.
How much does Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence cost?
+
Prices start at $182 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aix-en-Provence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence take?
+
Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aix-en-Provence is not rushed.
Is Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 85 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aix-en-Provence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aix-en-Provence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aix-en-Provence and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aix-en-Provence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Aix-en-Provence?
+
On Outty we rank every Aix-en-Provence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include An Aix-traordinary Walking City Tour of Aix-en-Provence, Cotes de Provence Wine Tour from Aix-en-Provence, Luberon Villages Half-Day Tour from Aix-en-Provence. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Aix-en-Provence?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Aix-en-Provence?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence?
+
Included: Professional driver/guide; and Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Gratuities; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence?
+
Outside the main door/entrance of the Tourist Information Center of Aix en Provence Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence offered in?
+
It is offered in English and French. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Verdon Canyon and Moustiers Ste-Marie Tour from Aix-en-Provence?
+
