Great experience! Our tour guide, Erny, shared so much information, knew the roads and the area so well, and was most accommodating with everyone on the tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!

Francesca was a vey vibrant and enthusiastic guide who went out of her way to make the tour a success. My favourite spot was Saint-Paul de Vence.
She also went out of her way to return my phone battery that I had left on the tour bus. A highly recommended day trip!

Amazing trip and guide. Thibault was full of knowledge and was very accommodating. Well worth the trip. Cannes was ok but the other 3 towns were phenomenal. Perfume factory was interesting.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
thank you Rachel.
Chris_K, Aug 2023
Cannes is so so. Dripping with money. Good to learn abt perfurmes in Grasse but be careful to leave enough time for a walk through the old town. Gourdon, Tourettes sur Loop and St Paul de Vence are very charming.
Mary_E, Aug 2023
Phillipe was an amazing tour guide! He is has incredible knowledge of the region walking us through the history of each of the villages we visited, answering any and all questions. The small group experience was very nice (6 of us including Phillipe) it offered a friendly bonding experience not found in large tour groups. We enjoyed the Fragonard tour, St Paul de Vence, Gourdon esp great photo opportunities. Highly recommend!
Denise_S, Jul 2023
All the quaint little towns were super fun to walk around. Eric did a great job explaining the towns and getting us there and providing detailed information. It was definitely an adventure we could not of made on our own.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Dear Denise, thank you so much for your nice feedback that we will share with Eric

This tour is the only way to go; a wonderful way to be guided through historically rich seaside to medieval villages while learning about the geography and history of the area. What we saw and learned about on this tour would be impossible to do in one day on your own.
Akis our tour guide was very professional, enthusiastic and knowledgable about the area.
He did an amazing job thoroughly explaining the hundreds of years of history so that it was easy to understand. Our day trip consisted of a stop in Cannes for photos, a stop in Grasse for a Fragonard perfumery tour, drove through beautiful Gourdon, stopped for scenic overlook photos, stopped in Tourettes Sur Loup to see walled city with time to self (to eat and shop), drove through Vence before stopping at Saint Paul de Vence, with time to self to see the walled city (eat, shop, galleries, museums and historical points of interests). We had enough time to see highlights, and have an overview of area. We can now decide if we want to go back to area for a longer period of time. Would definitely do again and highly recommend the tour.

We enjoyed the day very much. We especially enjoyed the beautiful views and quaint towns. Akis was our driver.

Thank you Steve for this comment
Will pass it to AKIS
Angela_M, Jun 2023
The views from every place we visited were breathtaking. I only wish we had more time at each town, it felt a little rushed to me. Going to 4 towns in 1 day is a lot, which did not allow for enough time to enjoy each location. Grasse is one of the stops, which included the tour at Fragonard and it was fun. I would have preferred if our driver/guide Eric asked us if we wanted to have lunch in Grasse or Gourdon. We spent a lot of time in Grasse for the tour, so that resulted in only 30 minutes at Cannes and Gourdon and 45 minutes at Saint-Paul-de-Vence. It does take time to travel to these 4 locations, so perhaps extend the time for the tour or exclude a town. Eric was informative, a good driver and punctual. Overall, we enjoyed the tour to these beautiful towns.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
thank you for your comment - Yes there are different locations and there is some distance between the places - Some day the traffic is better - There is a major even in Cannes at this time of the year
Cannes is the first stop, than you went to Grasse - Regarding the lunch time, why not asking your driver guide during your journey ? It's a small group tour and the driver does always his best to satisfy the participants
Doris_T, Jun 2023
Gourdon and St. Paul de Venice were spectacular to see, was less impressed with Cannes, but it was raining at that point.
Due to a company scheduling change, we had 2 quite different, but very good tour guides, Silvia and Stanley for different part of our all day trip. Partly because of the change, I was able to see some additional places including perfume factory in Grasse and Antibes which was a real bonus. Thanks!
Annette_M, May 2023
This tour was wonderful! Our tour guide Eric was very pleasant, courteous, prompt, and knowledgeable. Everyone on our tour was very nice, and we thoroughly enjoyed the day. The towns we visited were absolutely beautiful, I highly recommend this tour.

ElmarieR, Jul 2022
The guide was friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, I was sitting at the back of the van and could not hear the limited information he did supply. More information about these historic towns needs to be supplied via a microphone or the guide must have a stronger voice.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
Sorry to hear that you didn't all information - Sometimes other passengers are talking during the journey so it makes it more difficult - but our driver guide does also comment when you stop at the places so all necessary information are provided
The tour you did was quite a longer tour as expected (one hour more) due to the lateness of some passengers
We always do our best to satisfy our visitors
MariaLourdes_M, Jul 2022
The places we visited in this tour were all beautiful! Our driver was very attentive and punctual. He gave some overview of the places we visited but not like a full guide.

Thank you for your comment Maria

Oguz_A, Jun 2022
Our tour guide Ansar made our trip amazing. We skipped the parfumery tour to explore old town and he enabled that. Also, he added quick stops at some lookout points, a lavender field and another little village to explore. Grasse, St Paul de Vince and Tourettes were the highlights, along with very small but cute Gourdon.
Response from Host, Jun 2022

Torrie_H, Jun 2022
All the towns on our tour we’re lovely but we would have preferred more time in Gourdon, perhaps time for lunch, and in Saint Paul de Vence. Cannes was nice to drive thru but very busy and extra time there could have better been spent. Grasse was lovely as well but after the perfumery tour we had to have a very hurried lunch in a very busy cafe. All in all, we would have appreciated more time in the smaller towns.
Henry_R, Jun 2022
The village of Gourdon was so quaint and peaceful. The highlight for us. Our guide, Megane, was excellent! Very knowledgeable, patient and friendly.
Deborah_S, May 2022
