Day in the country - Very nice day! Our guide/driver was very informative and the country side was beautiful. It was nice to be able to see the towns and not have to do any of the driving.

Wonderful day - We had a wonderful, fun and enjoyable day with Laurence. She was a great tour guide. She was very helpful, and we had enough time in each town. We loved all the medieval towns and also the beautiful countryside. This trip and tour guide made our trip to Nice very special. We highly recommend Laurence.

Lovely day in medieval villages - Our guide Nabil shared history about each village which gave us context for what we saw in each one - great guide! We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who loves to not only explore an area, but also learn its backstory.

Excellent History and Stunning Views - This was a fantastic tour! Nabil and Laurence were lovely. My sister and I rode in the van with Nabil, whose historical knowledge of the area was excellent. If you like history, this is the tour for you! His passion for the subject was obvious and he was so much fun to listen to. We had excellent weather and were treated to stunning views of the valley and the sea from the villages. The perfume tour in Grasse was wonderful as well. There were good options for lunch and snacks throughout the day and many shops to buy souvenirs. If you like a great history presentation and stunning views take this tour!

Fascinating medieval.villages - Nabil was an excellent guide with so many interesting historical stories. He brought the landscape and villages to life with his thorough knowledge of the fascinating medieval villages. I particularly liked Tourette sur Loup as it is still a working town right out of the Middle Ages and not spoiled by tourism. I highly recommend this tour.

Engaging and lively tour - This was one of our favorite experiences during our trip! Our tour guides Laurence and Nabil were amazing- extremely knowledgeable while being fun and engaging! We were able to see parts of the riviera we wouldn’t have been able to get to on our own and it was the perfect mix of guided and free time.

Rainy day out, but loved it - Had a great day. Laurence was a lovely tour guide. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only regret was that the weather was not kind so did not see the views that we were expecting.

Nice historical drive - This tour was a nice overview of the historical villages in the south of France. Positives: our driver and van guide, Laurence, was skilled and interesting, even giving us much advice for the rest of our travels. Thank you, Laurence! Negatives: some extended drive times, our van's speaker (from the main guide in the other van) was tinny and quite difficult to understand; we had to revert to our driver's knowledge.
