Top French Riviera Day Trips

Our driver Nicole was excellent! She knew the best routes to drive to get around traffic, avoid lines at entrances and the best Italian restaurant for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our long day. Only complaint is the van was really cramped for room. Other than that, it was great!

Our driver/guide Bruno is exceptional and very professional, he takes us safely to every spot on the itinerary and he is extremely knowledgeable in all the sites and along the way gives us a very good introduction and history of all the interests points. Strongly recommend Bruno for this tour.

We were picked up promptly by monsieur Antoine in a clean and very comfortable van. He was very informative and friendly- he was able to communicate very nicely with two teenagers and keep them interested in the tour! His English was immaculate. Our trip included Cannes, Grasse and Téo fantastic Provence villages in the mountains- Gourdon and St.Paul de Vance. Just absolutely gorgeous and well worth the trip. We highly recommend this trip and this tour guide:)

Belo, our driver/guide from Liven Up tours (who we booked through Viatour), was excellent — knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver. Nine hours is a long time for a tour, but Belo made every minute enjoyable and info-packed. When we were done, we truly had a better understanding of the French Riviera. Just enough stops and sites. Also, Belo was a very good driver with a very comfortable van for eight passengers. He even tidied it on stops when we tourists we shopping or visiting sites on our own. Well worth the fare.

The tour was magnificent. We drove through the beautiful region of Provence and learned a lot about wine making and more importantly, tasting. Our guide Emeline was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. The grounds of the vineyards we visited were beautiful and the scenery was exceptional. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

What a terrific tour - Belo did a very professional tour of Cannes & Monaco. Very nice clean vehicle and excellent insight into the area that only a local person can provide. Money well spent and would quickly sign up again if the opportunity presents

We had the most amazing time. Andrea was an incredible guide and gave us a once in a lifetime experience we'll never forget. The unique mix of wineries and the lunch reservation in a hidden gem of a historic town made for a perfect day. He was so knowledgeable and kind and really tailored the tour to our group. We came away with a deeper understanding of wine and would 100% recommend azure and especially Andrea to anyone traveling to nice.

I recently experienced a van tour through the lavender fields and mountain ranges of southern France, led by Laurent. From start to finish, this was the kind of trip that turns a good holiday into a truly spectacular one. We met Laurent early in the morning, bright and eager. Instantly, his warmth and enthusiasm set the tone. He greeted each one of us by name, offered chilled water, and provided a quick overview of the day ahead. You could tell he genuinely loved both the region and his job. Laurent’s commentary throughout the tour was informative and full of little local stories. He pointed out landmarks along the way and historic hilltop villages. Stepping into our first lavender field was amazing. The rows stretched out in perfect purple waves. Laurent made sure we had plenty of time to wander, take photos, and even sneak a few sprigs to carry home. As we climbed higher into the foothills, the landscape shifted—from lavender to pine-scented trails, olive groves, and then jaw-dropping views of the mountains. The lavender fields were fragrant and endless, the mountain views were awe-inspiring, and Laurent made it all come together with his kindness, patience, expertise, and genuine love for the region.
