A great day out! - Miriam (mimi) was an excellent guide/driver. The 8 of us were picked up promptly and taken to Grasse, Gourdon, Tourettes sur Loup, St Paul de Vence. The weather was fine and I had a great day. Well worth the money. I would do it again.

Fabulous! Breathtaking... - Fabulous! Breathtaking majestic views. Gorgeous towns! We experienced the true flavor of the region with fewer tourists. Highly recommend. This is the second time we took this tour with this company in the past two years. We plan to do it again next spring.

the tour made reaching hidden spots easy - Really enjoyed this tour! It was super convenient to hop on and off at the designated spots, and our guide Mike was funny and entertaining—his jokes were exactly my kind of humor. The places we visited would have been hard to reach without driving, so I’m so glad I joined this tour!

Wonderful experience! - Had a great quick visit to Grasse (not too into perfume) but we picked up some nice gifts for family. Our Guide Catia was fun and engaging. She provided us with a lot of information about each of our stops that help put things in context for us. Gordon had a stunning vista, and I think I will always remember the way the fig tree smelled in the sun that day. Truly a remarkable view (late August 2025). Seriously an eidètic moment in my head. Tourettes sous la loupe was charming, and we loved walking down the alleys. St. Paul de Vence was charming and due to the heat of the day we really enjoyed the chilly beer with strawberry syrup in it. Very refreshing. Reminded me of another Viator experience in Italy (lemon beer). Catia provided a binder full of recommendations, and we saw several of the other locations the next day.

Enchanting day on the French Riviera - This was a really nice tour of quite a few villages. I felt like I was catapulted back in time to a fairytale I've read about in books as a child, these towns are so lovely and enchanting. Plenty of free time in each spot to walk around and explore on your own and a funny guide, Mike made the day a really enjoyable one. It's hard to pick which town was our favorite we loved them all so much.
