The stops were great places that we never would’ve thought to visit otherwise. The rich history surrounding the French Riviera is amazing! Our tour guide was a safe driver, but very hard to understand and also hard to hear from the back of the van. I did notice the tires on the van were so bald that the metal was starting to show, which was concerning on a far drive. Overall, it was a great choice of a tour to see the French Riviera!

This was a lovely tour to take from Nice to see some more of the Provence area. The villages are quaint and beautiful and the landscape was scenic along the entire journey. There was a nice amount of free time to explore in each location. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall it was a great day!

The tour was very good and Daniel a great guide and careful driver. He was informative and interesting. The villages visited were beautiful with their old walls and buildings and the views great. Although it was a whole day tour the time passed quickly. A group lunch was a highlight.

Roman was great. You must take this tour! All the spots hit were well explained and detailed as we arrived. Timely and never had to wait. Amazing experience. A MIST DO!!!

Our local guide, Justine, was great and very accommodating…
