Very enjoyable tour - This tour was very good. I enjoyed the small villages and the scenery. We started at the perfume factory which was interesting but, not really my thing. I would have preferred missing this in order to have more free time at the stops. The guide was very informative about the history of the area.

Majestic Villages Tour - My friend and I had an amazing tour! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting! We loved going to the Fragonard Parfumerie in Grasse and purchased a few of their wonderful products! The medieval villages were beautiful and so scenic! This tour was the highlight of our trip to France!

Just average - We had a very interesting tour of the perfume factory. And then the other villages. In some ways it was more a taxi service. The driver talked none stop in the car. It was a bit boring. But when we gotcto the villageswecwere left on our own to go round.
