Pleasant afternoon excursion - John was a very fun and interactive driver. We felt very welcome, and had a lot of fun getting out of the city to see a few hard to reach places! The roads are very windy as we were taken through the gorges, be weary if you get car sick easily!

Awe-inspiring beauty - Great experience. Our guide, Roman, told great little stories about the beautiful villages. He would drive awhile, then start us with a little story or information about the beautiful place, then allow plenty of free time for exploration, then drive again, etc.

Great tour and guide! - Amazing tour! In addition to seeing and experiencing the itinerary items, guide Matt painted the whole picture of each place with historical facts and his personal experiences. Matt also did a great job of balancing guided and self-guided time; allowing the opportunity to explore. Highly recommend the trip with Matt.

Good Tour but incorrect Viator info ended it short - The places we visited were good - Gourdon (view of Nice being spectacular), Waterfall (which was beautiful), St. Paul (cute town with so much exhibits), Fragonard (perfume factory was good).
The guide Parafat was excellent, kind, respectful and on time.
We weren't happy with the very less time we spent at St. Paul, and Viator described the tour to be 6 hours whereas the guide mentioned and showed us on GetYourGuide that it was 5 hours only. He mentioned that Viator was incorrect. This isn't our concern really, and the extra hour would have made a huge difference to the entire trip. Shocked how different information is conveyed to customers than reality. Very unhappy.

Not as advertised! - Giving this excursion 3 is being generous. First of all, our tour guide seemed to be in a rush from the start. I was picked up on time, however the first three stops were for, at most, 10 minutes a piece. This was NOT a countryside tour, but a mountainside tour. The guide drove VERY fast along the Alps' mountainside; so fast I texted my family back home telling them so and I loved them. The guide also did not give very much detail about the places we visited. I had taken a different trip the day before and visited the first and last places then. I ended up telling the other people on the trip about what I had learned the day before! I should have been the paid guide. Also, this was NOT a half day tour - it was 4 hours, advertised as 6! Will not use this travel company again. The guide's name was Jacques (Jack).

Excursion not worth the money - Very small car. I and my whife had to sit in front next to the driver in an inconvenient position and sqeezed i. All together nine people in a full van. Guide had very poor knowledge in languages and objects to see on the tour.

Stood up - They didn’t show up. They didn’t call. We waited 45 minutes. Only when we called did we find out, supposedly, they were at the wrong place. Wretched experience.
