Perfect day tour!

Lucia_L, Jul 2022

This was quite a lovely addition to our honeymoon trip to France. Philippe was punctual, accommodating and very helpful all throughout the tour. He took us to places we would have otherwise missed, and recommended places to eat or try. I found we spent enough time at each location, and were dropped off close enough or right next to main attractions to make our stay easier. The highlight of the tour for me was the visit to the perfume factory, and later the three little medieval villages. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who would like to visit and understand a bit more the region in just one day. It was honestly wonderful!

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you so much Lucia and Joshua for your company That day was very pleasant because of you too Have a great holidays Regards Philippe

Waste of Money

Reva_A, Jul 2022

This is NOT a guided tour. This is a $1500 taxi service. Our driver dropped us off at St Paul at 9 am although ALL the stores were closed at that time and told us "go through the tunnel and follow your heart" and come back in 30 minutes. This was the same at Antibes, Cannes. ZERO recommendations on where to go and what should be seen, ZERO recommendation on restaurants. Literally dropped us in the middle of town and told us to come back at a certain time. Ironically, guidance was to be provided at the Fragrance factory where you would be shown how the perfume was made after which you could purchase perfumes; we refused this tour. This was a great disappointment and a waste of money. We are requesting a refund.

Dear sir madame I did read your message before to reply I need to know who is talking please Can you tell me your name and the tour you did witch day also please because I see a lot of people for now Thank you so much Best regards Philippe

Great way to see lots of different towns in a day

Eerika_T, May 2022

Philippe the guide came to pick us up at the hotel at the scheduled time. Off we went with a nice air conditioned car to our destinations, the next more beautiful than the last. Philippe gave us tips as to what to do or see, and gave us time from 30 to 60 mins to wander around at each town. The views were magnificent and some of the places were definitely ones that we wouldn't have seen or visited on our own. We stopped at a restaurant to have lunch and it was one of the best meals of our holidays. Definitely recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to experience multiple gorgeous towns in a day with a great fun guide!

Worth taking the day to venture out of the city!

Cynthia_T, May 2022

Philippe was an excellent guide. He was informative, flexible, knowledgeable and fun. He brought us to some wonderful places in the country side that you would not normally see. In addition his lunch recommendation was spot on!

One day in Provence

Justin_G, Sep 2021

My wife and I truly enjoyed our one day trip through Antibes, Cannes, and then through the beautiful countryside with Philippe. We picked up one additional passenger, so we traveled with four in the car. He was very punctual at every pick-up and drop-off. Philippe is very friendly, engaging and keeps the conversation going. Make sure to ask a ton of questions because he is knowledgeable about the area and the history in the various places we went to. You'll learn alot! The time allotted to check out a place is sufficient enough to explore, take pictures, and buy some food. Each destination that you go to has its own feel. I really enjoyed Gourdon. It's a small village on top of the mountain with an incredible view of the whole southern side of France. You must go there to experience it! My description won't suffice to bring to life the majesty and splendor of the countryside. He'll take you to the best places for lunch. We really enjoyed the flavors and authenticity of the food. Even though he doesn't have many reviews, it doesn't mean that he is not good at what he does. It's like a diamond in the rough; traveling with Philippe is a one in a million experience. You will totally enjoy this trip and any other trip that he does on Viator. Give it a shot! We were not disappointed; truly money well spent. Philippe, our friend! wishing you all the best! You deserve it, good sir.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Wonderful day tour

Lillian_N, Dec 2019

My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our one day journeying through Antibes, Cannes, and then through the beautiful countryside with Philippe. We had picked up one additional passenger And ultimately traveled with four in the car. Philippe was very friendly and accommodating. The car smelled of smoke but nothing a rolled down window couldnt fix. We stopped for lunch at this wonderful restaurant Philippe recommended in Gourdon—it was tres delicious. We came home with amazing photos of the Riviera. I was pretty skeptical upon booking this tour because of the low number of reviews but Philippe surpassed my expectations. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone (younger, older, families with children, couples, or friends) who want to make the most of seeing more of the south of France with a limited amount of time! It was a pleasure Philippe! Until next time—Lillian and Connie*

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thank you Barbara , i had a great day with you too best regard Philippe

Wonderful day with Philippe

KirkandMimi, Oct 2019

We got lucky and were the only people this day for the tour which means we got Philippe for ourselves. He was on time, funny, informative and accommodating. He let us adjust time in different cities based on what we were interested in (more time in historic villages, less time in Cannes). Absolutely recommend 100%. We had a wonderful day.

Response from Host, Oct 2019

Thank you so much Kirk i spend a great day too with you 2 kind of regard Phil

Super-journée, avec un guide, Philippe, aussi enthousiaste que nous devant les beautés de la région, et qui n’hésite pas à faire quelques haltes-photos imprévues. Excursion choisie surtout pour Tourrettes-sur-Loup et Gourdon, et c’était magnifique. Très bien aussi pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas le reste du parcours (Antibes par exemple). Merci... Christine.
