I participated in this tour because it was my second time in Nice and it combined Cannes, which I want to visit again, with a place I hadn't been to before. Our guide, Elizabeth, was very friendly and fun, and the explanations were in English for us, who are not good at English, so she translated them into Japanese using a smartphone app and played them aloud, which made it easy to understand. If you could make a tour from Nice to Aix-en-Provence, I would like to participate with Elizabeth as my guide. I would also like a tour with an overnight stay in Aix-en-Provence and Arles.
