Nice day in the hills - The tour was really nice. We had a small friendly group. We had great weather and were able to experience all of the towns (and the views) without the summer crowds. So it was a really good time.

Great Tour and Excellent Guide - Laurent was the best guide. He paid attention to all the individuals in his group. He is very knowledgeable regarding the history and has interesting anecdotes regarding the sites on the tour itinerary. He also gave great tips on restaurants and shops to visit. Bravo, Laurent!

This was a great... - This was a great experience for those wishing to take a day trip to see sites beyond the French Riviera! It’s a full day, but a well-spent one (aside from, perhaps, the trip to Fragonard). Also, major kudos to our guide, Wagner! He was so kind and detailed as he explained everything to our English-speaking group, as well as a couple of French/Spanish-speakers who were with us. I was impressed by his kindness and patience, explaining everything to each lot in equal detail.
