Grasse perfumerie and two great hilltop villages. What a pleasure being picked up, and the ride with a good driver and knowledgeable guide. He gave us some extra time to compensate for some early traffic. Much appreciated

Nice break from walking

Linda_S, Sep 2026

You are in a nice Mercedes van with a few other couples and the driver/tour guide. It was pleasant and informative, but if you get car sick, this may be a tough ride.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you very much for your feedback and your kind words. We're glad you found the tour pleasant and informative. Indeed, if you're prone to motion sickness, the winding roads in Provence may not be the best fit. Thanks again for traveling with us.

Compounding errors

Lilian_B, Aug 2026

My ticket said 8am at the meeting point. At 8.15am, the receptionist phoned to check on the driver and was told he had already departed without me. After a chat with Viator, I was told to return and be picked up which did happen. We then went to West End Hotel where,after nearly 30 minutes, 3 more clients joined. Now 9.30am to begin the tour. Further delayed at Fragonard when 2 lots of clients had to return, consecutively, to get tax refund statement. Maybe should be mentioned before the tour. Further delays when 3 clients were 10 minutes late returning to van at St Paul - meaning our return was at 3pm. The driver remained amiable which was to his credit and the tour progressed as per the itinerary. It should also be noted that the phones for foreign clients do not always have ‘international roaming’ and, therefore can not be contacted.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for your detailed feedback. Regarding the initial departure, however, we would like to clarify that the time indicated on your ticket was **8:00 a.m. at the meeting point**. As the driver had already left when the reception desk called at 8:15 a.m., it was unfortunately no longer possible to consider that the meeting time had been met. Nevertheless, in coordination with Viator, we made the necessary arrangements to ensure that you could return and be picked up, allowing you to join the tour. The other delays mentioned during the day were mainly due to requests or waiting for other participants, including administrative procedures at Fragonard and late arrivals at the meeting point in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. These situations, which were beyond our control, unfortunately affected the overall schedule of the tour. The driver nevertheless remained helpful and courteous throughout the day and completed the tour according to the planned itinerary. Finally, regarding telephone communication, you raise a valid point: international visitors do not necessarily have roaming enabled and may therefore be unable to receive calls. This is precisely why it is essential for participants to strictly follow the meeting time and location indicated on their ticket, in order to avoid any difficulties with pick-up. We are therefore sorry that your day was affected by several periods of waiting. However, we would also like to clarify that several of these delays were caused by other participants' late arrival or personal administrative procedures and were not directly related to our organisation. Despite this, we did everything possible to ensure that the tour could go ahead and that the planned itinerary was completed.

Lovely countryside views

Sarah_L, Jul 2026

Lovely experience to see so much of the countryside from a M-B van. If you get carsick you might want to take a pass, however, as the roads are extremely twisty and hilly. Plenty of time for shopping.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed discovering the beautiful countryside from our comfortable Mercedes van. We’re also glad you had plenty of time to enjoy some shopping. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Interesting Sites, Fun Driver

Barbara_H, Jun 2026

The places we visited were great, but this really isn't enough time to see them. I'd book an all day trip if I had it to do over. The air conditioning in the van was, either not working, or not being used sufficiently by the driver as all 8 passengers were suffering in discomfort from the heat. The driver was good natured and fun to be with, but rather disorganized. He did not give clear instructions for time frames at each location saying that we were flexible. Well, what's flexible for me isn't for another guest so that didn't work. I also didn't appreciate the strong pressure to purchase at the perfume factory. The mountain driving was a bit scary also. However, all that being said, I really wanted to see St Paul de Vence and it was all worth it to see this place.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for your informative comment, regarding the heat please note that we are currently in heat wave orange alert so even with our Mercedes luxury vehicles the heat remains terrifying for everyone, it is important to note that our excursions allow you to discover several places in the same day and that if one place pleases you more than another you have to devote a whole day to it and therefore come back to it yourself another day. I am happy to see that the driver has agreed with you even if his too cool side on the visit times did not like you, I would make sure that the visit times of 45 minutes maximum are respected to allow the visits to be well framed. the visit of the perfume factory is not an obligation if you are not interested please let the driver know and you can go to the old town instead.

So much in five hours

Lesa_M, Mar 2026

It’s almost too much to try to see in five hours , really just touched on a couple spots. Also if you are inclined to get queasy in the back of a car , be warned the road is bett re twisty turbo and our driver sped right along!! Everywhere was beautiful and the guides were very nice .

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and found our guides friendly and welcoming. There is certainly a lot to discover in the region, and the mountain roads can be quite winding! We appreciate your comments and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again.

Sweet smells and winding roads

Mark_L, Oct 2025

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted you enjoyed visiting Grasse and the beautiful hilltop villages. We’re also glad you appreciated your driver’s knowledge and flexibility, especially the extra time provided after the morning traffic. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again soon.

Historic sites and smells

Gary_V, Sep 2025

The highlights were Saint Paul de Venice and the mountain peak views. The parfumerie was also a delight. If I were able to move at my own pace, I would have loved to spend more time in Saint Paul de Vence village. The driver was kind enjoyed sharing his knowledge and experience with the group. My only criticism is the fast driving up and down the mountains, which made me a little car sick.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the mountain views, and the perfumery, and that you appreciated your driver’s knowledge and kindness. We’re sorry to hear that the pace of the driving made you feel a little carsick, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We hope to welcome you again for another enjoyable experience.

Excellent guided tour

Vipul_P, Oct 2024

Had a wonderful time! Flor was an amazing guide..very knowledgeable and kind. All of the stops are worth seeing!

Enjoyed St. Paul. Our...

Nathaniel_D, Jul 2024

Enjoyed St. Paul. Our guide gave us only 20 minutes to tour Bourdon, which was way too short of time. Our guide got lost in Grasse when trying to go to the perfume factory.

An Amazing, Worthwhile Experience

Gary_F, Jul 2024

The whole tour was great, but it was nice to see villages off the beaten path like Gourdon and Tourette-sur-Loop.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

thanks for your message , I am very happy to see that you enjoyed our tour T5 half day . hope to see you soon . best regards Amandine

Definitely recommend!

Olga_P, May 2024

Perfect route for a half day trip. Good choice of villages to visit. Ben is very gallant, with a sense of humor, knowledgeable guide, who does not overload you with historical facts, but makes your trip pleasant and interesting. Driving abilities are perfect. Care about trip participants is above any expectations. Definitely recommend!

More time, please!

Ellen_B, May 2024

Ben was an engaging and informative guide, as well as a very good driver. We were three couples who met for the first time on the tour. The weather was perfect. Sadly, the most interesting of all the spots, Saint Paul, was the shortest stop due to road traffic. Time there was rushed (just 30 minutes) and there were many things we did not get to see. In hindsight, it would have been better to spend less time at the Fragonard factory on Grasse and more time in Saint Paul.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Thank you for your comment and your positive feedback. be informed that all the tours of this type allow you to discover each site as samples, then if one place enchants you more than another you can go back with a simple taxi and stay there all day because St Paul de Vence in order to be discovered in a pleasant way requires a day alone. Best regards

Very good guide,...

Peter_E, Oct 2023

Very good guide, knowledgeable and timing of stops appropriate. However as I was siting in back of van I could not hear most of her comments. Some form of speaker may help.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

thanks for your message , hope to see you soon

Fun day with Noah in Provence

Debbie_N, Sep 2023

Noah was an excellent guide and driver, with a clean & comfortable van. He was so fun, even down to accommodating music choices & temperature preferences. We learned so much about the areas we visited, & about French lifestyle. He kept us laughing while staying professional & informative - he’s got a real gift for managing a random group of people!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hello, Thanks for this nice review, we are glad you enjoyed to day

Great tour

Emily_Z, Jul 2023

We loved the perfume factory, Gourdon and St Paul de Vence! Sylvie was a wonderful guide. Would recommend

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hello, Thanks for this review. We are glad you enjoyed your Tour !!

Perfect!

Gonzalez_S, Aug 2026

It was a perfect experience to get to know some charming villages of Provence, the perfumery, and the Gorges du Loup in a very short time and with a very comfortable and well-conditioned vehicle. Our guide, Natalia, gave us a lot of information and she was generous and very nice, thank you!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Merci beaucoup pour votre magnifique retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié cette découverte de la Provence, les Gorges du Loup et la parfumerie. Nous transmettrons avec plaisir vos gentils mots à Natalia. Au plaisir de vous revoir pour une nouvelle escapade !

Belle visite et chauffeur/guide hyper sympathique!

Michelle_S, Oct 2024

Une vraie belle excursion surtout à Grasse avec la visite de la parfumerie. Malheureusement Gourdon était dans le brouillard total :(. Tourrettes et St-Paul sont de beaux villages qu’il faut visiter par beau temps! Notre chauffeur Yan a été très cordial avec tous, autant francophone comme nous qu’avec les 4 autres Anglais. Nous a donné plein d’informations durant les trajets entre les villages. Je le recommande fortement!
