Toni_S, Sep 2026

Grasse, Gourdon, Tourette, St. Paul

The tour is well organized, Nabil, our guide was ahead of schedule, he showed during the whole trip professionalism and made the whole group feel like we knew each other’s from before! His knowledge about the tour itself, his guidance and recommendations were spot on, not to mention his overall knowledge about France general history ! Highly recommended this tour. But definitely Nabil made the difference!!

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.

The Grand Canyon of Europe and Its Lavender Fields Small group

Montgomery_B, Sep 2026

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.

Provence Wine Tour - Small Group Tour from Nice

Robert_N, Sep 2026

Our guide, Frank, was very knowledgeable about wine in general and about French wines from Provence in particular.

An excellent afternoon wine tour. We visited two large producers of rosé and other wines and enjoyed tasting those. Especially exciting was a visit to a small family winery, a view inside how the wine was made, and discussions with the winemaker and his son

Grasse perfumery Fragonard, Gourdon, Tourettes Sur Loup, Saint Paul De Vence

Linda_C, Jun 2026

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.

Monaco & Eze Small-Group Day Trip with Perfumery Visit from Nice

shannonkelly8, Jun 2026

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!

Exceptional Tour!

This tour was amazing and Mago is a fantastic guide. He does not bore you with tedious details but is a master storyteller with historical stories you will remember for a lifetime. He is also very humorous and friendly. Do not hesitate to book a tour with this company. We will be back to the French Riviera and will most definitely use Mago’s services again.
