We had the most fantastic day of traveling from Nice to all these beautiful villages and towns in French Riviera with our host Nicolas. Our favorites are the guided tour to the perfumery of Fargonard where we got to make our own perfume, the small hike to the village of Èze, touring around Monaco and the afternoon stroll through the beautiful medieval village of St. Paul de Vence. The trip was very well organized and Nicolas was a fun company with his tremendous knowledge in history and art. And his sense of humor was the cherry on top.

Very complete experience. We have visited all the sites mentioned, but the best without a doubt our guide. Great hostess, very friendly, and that makes the experience magnificent. 100% recommended

Brilliant 2 hours. Bit tricky at the beginning getting used to the controls and the maps but we soon were ok. Would recommend. We were on our own rather than following an instructor

The tour was absolutely amazing. Nathan is a great driver and tour guide. Highly recommend if you are short on time. My favourite places are St Paul de Vence and Eze!

Everyone was very nice and comfortable. I had a great time
