Stunning views both high and low and lots of interesting stops along the way
Stephane was our tour guide and was excellent. He gave us great detail about each stop and had great parking places to drop us close to our walking destinations. He spent the ride to each stop giving us background about our upcoming stops and helped us maximize our time at each location to explore. The verdon gorge is stunning.....not as big and magnificent as the actual grand canyon but i understand why it is called the grand canyon on Europe. The tour gives you an opportunity to take a short hike to the bottom of the gorge on the river, then views from the top where you can see for miles, and finally a stop at the end of the gorge on a lake where you can rent a boat or kayak for an hour to paddle into the gorge on the river. I got some stunning pictures. The little towns we visited were quaint and beautiful before and after the gorge. Stephane was a great guide and we had a great time spending the day with him. One warning, if you are easily car sick this tour is driving on windy roads all through the french alps and it was an issue for my wife and one other. The views and stops were so worth it.

Great tour!
This tour was excellent. Bello (not sure of spelling) was our guide and he did a great job of safely driving us to our various stops and explaining the sites along the way as well as when we arrived at the sites. The air conditioned van was very comfortable. Our group had six members which was a perfect number for the van and being able to interact with Bello. We had lunch along the way and he was able to make some nice recommendations for lunch. This tour also gives you time to explore on your own. Great picture opportunities as well as shopping opportunities. Highly recommend.

A day well spent!
My sister and I had a wonderful time and we both agree it was totally worth spending a day out on this tour. Ibrahim was very knowledgeable about the region's history, as well courteous, kind, and patient for all nine hours as we peppered him with questions. There was only one other person on our tour so it was almost a private tour, and it's really, really nice to have an air conditioned van take you around in the middle of August. I don't think we would have been able to see and experience as much in one day if we were on our own, and it's nice not having to worry about the logistics of getting to and navigating different towns. I would recommend this tour company to my friends and family, and I would definitely take another tour with Ibrahim if I return to the area.

Wonderful, flexible tour with great guide
Billie was a wonderful driver and guide. We were given an overview of each area and then we had time to explore on our own. We traveled with children (14, 12, 10) and it was so much easier to navigate with a driver than trying to do on our own. Billie even followed up with the helpful suggestions for food and things to do after the tour.

A great day in southern France
This is a great way to get a snap shot of a few French villages in one day. Keep in mind that there is limited time to fully appreciate the villages and that you can't see everything.
Our guide, Laurence was very knowledgeable and accomodation. She arranged for a close pick up from our cruise ship and was a careful driver. Her directions were clear we had sufficient free time to explore.
The scope and cost of this tour was far superior to what the cruise company offered.

Sarit is tops!
Sarit was committed to clear and consistent communication before and during our tour. She was knowledgeable in all facets of her destinations and their history. Accordingly, Sarit was able to answer all questions we asked. She met us at exactly the correct time when we left our ship and brought us back at our desired time. She is totally flexible with her itinerary. For those who want to shop locally, she knows the unique places. Sarit is tops!

Great tour with a friendly and accommodating guide
Our guide, Aroun, is a local who was very friendly and accommodating, including making rest stops whenever needed. He provided detailed explanations of the history and highlights at each stop along the tour.
We had a wonderful time learning about Nice and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting this beautiful city for the first time.

perfect half day
We had an amazing 1/2-day small group tour from Nice, France, visiting Grasse, Gourdon, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The personal service was outstanding — being picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel made the experience so convenient and eliminated the stress of figuring out transportation or meeting locations.
Our driver/guide spoke very understandable English and had excellent knowledge of each town, sharing interesting information and helping us appreciate the history and charm of the area. The visit to the Fragonard perfumery in Grasse was a wonderful experience, and each village offered something unique.
My favorite stop was Saint-Paul-de-Vence. The town was absolutely captivating, with countless artist studios showcasing incredible creativity across so many different mediums. There was so much beautiful artwork to see that it was difficult to take it all in during the time we had.
The tour lasted a little longer than expected, but that actually made it perfect — we still had plenty of time afterward to explore and enjoy Nice before boarding our cruise ship the following morning.
This was a wonderful way to experience the French Riviera, and I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a personalized, informative, and stress-free adventure.

I’d give 10 stars to this trip & our guide Alex if I could!
Great trip to Eze and Monte Carlo. Our guide Alex was amazing- personable, informative and so gracious. And he needed excellent driving skills in Monaco due to heavy race/visitor traffic with many tight squeezes. Having a flexible and knowledgeable guide made the whole experience. You could try and uber to these sites and walk around, but having a knowledgeable guide made it memorable in the best way. He had so many interesting and fun facts about the area. Helped secure a wonderful lunch with no wait and was great communicating to us on any logistics. Must-do experience!

Bravo Victor!
Bravo to this provider who accommodated us since we couldn't get timely transportation to the meeting point. We ended up with our own private tour. Even though we started a bit late, we saw and did everything. Our guide Victor was personable and informative. And he returned us to our out of the way hotel. On this tour you have a driver/guide who gives you some background information and drops you off pointing you in the right direction at each stop. Each stop is quick, allowing you to cover a lot of ground in one day. Highly recommend especially if you don't have many days to cover everything on your own.

Fantastic Day trip to Provence
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:)

Best of my Cannes travel.
I booked 3 bookings (6 adults each bookings) On my group and another group had so much fun. But the the 3rd group was super upset about their Driver Mach. They said he wasn't pleasant to talk to. They begged him to have 20 minutes in Monte Carlo since they drove by there but he told them. The people on his group didn't get to go out and take pictures in the beautiful Monte Carlo. Instead, he threaten them that they will miss the ship. They had some time to take a quick 10 mins picture if he listened to his travelers. They are rating him 2⭐️
On the other hand, we had Jouet, another younger men in my group. They are fantastic! I will rate them 5✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
