Sebastien was an amazing tour guide. He was friendly and funny and informative. The tour itself was a fantastic experience. I particularly loved having lunch in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. It was a lovely little town with spectacular views. I would highly recommend this tour!

Nice medieval villages

Xavier_G, Jul 2024

We were impressed by the little villages we visited, the history, the old Roman structures and the views from the areas. We liked the visit to the perfume factory and learning the process and how to smell each note.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us

Nice places but poor guide

Vlad_K, May 2024

It was more like a taxi ride in between beautiful places. Suggestion to Viator: use recordings for each place while en route. 5 stars to the route 1 star to the driver/guide Average/total: 3 stars

Response from Host, Jun 2024

We are sorry to read your comment - The service has been provided by a partner as we didn't have availability that day . We always do our utmost to satisfy our clients and will talk to the partner and check why their tour guide didn't give enough comments according to your message. Why didn't you contact us during or after the tour ?

French mid evil tour

Virginia_F, Jun 2023

This whole tour from start to finish was just fabulous. Our guide Akis was truly wonderful. Courteous and professional making sure all his group was together and were hydrated with caring professionalism.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for this kind review that AKIS will appreciate

Expectations not met...

Liza_G, Jun 2022

Our expectation of this tour was that there would be commentary during the trip with descriptions and stories of the towns we visited as per the description of this tour. There was no such thing. All you are paying for is a transfer from town to town. The towns were breathtaking. Skip the pergume factory tour.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Dear Liza, I'm sorry to read this comment as your tour guide Philip does always have excellent comments ; maybe the problem was due to the fact that the tour was this day in 2 languages as we had 2 spanish guests who didn't speak english - Regarding the perfume factory, Grasse is part of the tour and it's the capital of the perfume in France, that's why we included a guided tour of the perfume factory provided by Fragonard, and mostly our visitors enjoy this part.

Good trip.

Rich_A, Apr 2022

Philippe our driver was excellent. We visited several small towns along the French Riviera and he was very knowledgeable about the area’s we visited.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you for your comment. It's always a pleasure when our visitors recommand our services

Amazing tour

Marianne_B, Sep 2019

Our guide was engaging and informative, exactly like his name Perfait (not sure about the spelling). The medieval towns were amazing and the views were spectacular. The tour of the perfume factory was fun and a wonderful opportunity to learn more about how perfume is made.

Amazing day spent exploring

SHIELAMY_D, Oct 2017

I have booked this tour but was upgraded to Monaco and Eze Village full day tour. Love the small villages, the history and the paintings.

Antonio, our tour guide went above...

Steven P, Sep 2017

Antonio, our tour guide went above and beyond with our tour. He even made the time to tour one extra village, which was fantastic. We were so glad we booked this tour, we travelled a good section of the French country side close to Nice.

Excellent expérience
