We loved this tour and can't say enough good things concerning both the Itinerary and our driver/tour guide, Parfait!! Parfait was on time to pick us up, very knowledgeable about the area, and he has an easygoing and engaging personality that turned a good tour into a great tour!! Thanks Parfait for a fantastic day and I hope we'll see you again if we ever get back to the French Riviera!!!

Had a great tour with Parfait as a tour guide. I saw a lot and I really liked that it was a small group. He had lots of knowledge and knew many vendors on the way. Thanks for a great experience!

This trip was amazing. I saw all of the places I have only ever seen photos of. The tour guide Sebastian was an absolute gentleman, the patience of a saint. I did the trip mid Cannes Film Festival and it was pretty busy and the road closed so we didn’t get to see the red carpet or Stars. Def recommend the trip if you want to see medieval French villages.

It was great to explore the countryside with a very experienced guide. Laurent provided us with very interesting facts and gave suggestions for the free time we had.

war ein schöner Ausflug - gut im Zeitplan - wir haben viel gesehen und der Fahrer hat uns - wenn auch nicht all zuviel über Land und Leute erzählt. - Gutes Auto, kein Stress, hohe Pünktlichkeit - das Deutsch war etwas holprig

Muy lindo paseo por las inmediaciones de Niza en La Provenza. Nuestro guía Jo, nos hizo el día muy divertido y aprendimos mucho de esta magnífica región del sur de Francia. No hay que esperar mucho de Cannes ....lo demás vale mucho la pena.
