Wonderful Tour! Highly recommend! - Enjoyed this tour very much although I would have liked more time to explore each village & include a stop for lunch … we were very rushed. Each village was more beautiful than the next .. would definitely go back to visit again. Philipe was a wonderful & safe driver & very knowledgeable about the history of the area & France in general. Would highly recommend this trip to see this beautiful area of the Cote d’azur & the Maritime Alps! Thank you Philipe for a wonderful tour!

Great opportunity to see a lot in a short time! - As a solo traveller I couldn't have wished for a better experience! Getting to see these beautiful places in the great company of a small group and charming Philippe was fantastic. While the perfume factory offered interesting insights into the production and history, strolling through the beautiful villages and admiring architecture, local art and getting to try nice food was on a whole other level. The rain didn't bother us at all - less tourists & more tranquility for us! :) I also LOVED that this was a half day tour bc it allows you to relax or discover Nice in the afternoon. Communication & pick up was quick & without problems.

Hilltop Villages and Perfumery Tour - This was an excellent tour. Philippe was a fun, charming and knowledgeable tour guide. Each stop was just the right amount of time. The three hilltop villages were spectacular and each unique in their own way. The tour of the Fragonard Perfume Factory was interesting and it was great to try some of the beautiful fragrances.

Fantastic medieval tours and tour guide! - We were attracted to this great tour because it only included the small medieval towns and Grasse, where my grandfather learned to make perfume at the same time as Fragonard. It was a special tour because of that and our fantastic guide Phillipe! He made it special with anecdotes and history facts. We world love to return one day. Definitively with booking. Merci!
