Countryside tour - Stunning views, beautiful villages, we wished to have more time to spend there. Our driver Doto was very funny and friendly, drove us at the lower speed up in the mountains. Is not good for people who are scared of heights but I don’t regret the experience.

Grasse is a blast!! - The tour to Grasse and the countryside was spectacular. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. Be sure to ask your tour guide to take you through old town Grasse to see all the pink umbrellas.

Adventures of the French Countryside! - A perfect afternoon exploring the French Countryside. Nicole was very knowledgeable about each historic village and each castle. She was patient and even stopped per our request to give us a chance to take a photo of the outside view of Gourdon. She provided tips along the tour as well stories about each of the historic mideivel villages we visited.
We traveled with 2 kids who enjoyed the tour. So much to learn from food, culture and history!
We were a bit hesitant about the time and how long the tour was and it was a perfect amount of time to visit, view and explore (to maximize your visit since stops are shorter in duration , I would recommend eating before the trip)

Nice trip and good value for money - The views and the waterfall were great. Pick up was not communicated to driver so nearly missed the trip but was fine in the end. The perfume factory was interesting and learnt a bit about perfume and that you shouldn't store it in sunlight as it looses its smell or nose.
There is a lift to get up to the second floor where we saw them producing soap shaped like eggs.

A good day trip - A very enjoyable trip, with our guide, George. We covered a lot of the countryside which was stunningly beautiful. We learned about each site and George contributed some local history as well.

More a taxi service than a tour. - Calling it a tour is a stretch as our driver never provided information about what we were seeing. He acted more like he didn't want to be there. I would describe it as a taxi service that included these locations. Granted the driving was challenging and he did have to pay attention to that. He needed lots more training or better yet, another career.
Expectations must be kept low, but it did get us into the countryside which we could have not done ourselves. That's the most positive description I can give of the experience. I would not trust any tour provided by French Riviera Touring.

Thieves and scammers!!! - The company is one big scam!
They have contacted me on the day of the tour that they cannot provide it and it needs to be moved. After agreeing upon new date and confirming pick up place, I have never heard from them again. I tried to contact them several times on the day and the following days too, via call and text, but they never got back to me and have rejected refund requests.
They have stolen 150€ and never disappeared. It is one big scam managed by thieves!

Scammers and thieves! - Scammers and thieves!! Booked a tour with them, paid 150eur. They call on the day of the tour to move it even though we booked it at an available slot. Then on the new day we agree upon they don't show up. We have called over and over again, sent emails and messages, but we are being ghosted.
They litterally ran away with our money and made sure they would never pick up the phone when we rang. Scam, scam, scam, don't ever book with them
