Top French Riviera Day Trips - page 3

A great way to spend a day while visiting Nice. The villages each have their own charm and the perfume factory was fascinating. Laurence, our guide, was just fantastic and made a fabulous trip just perfect. She is authentic and passionate and just who you want to spend the time with.

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.

The tour was lovely and our tour guide, Cedric, was awesome. He was super knowledgeable and affable. The three chateaux were a great mix of old world and super small batch, we bought three bottles to take home. We had one of our best days on our vacation on this tour!
