Lovely villages - We had a great day. Philippe our guide was very knowledgeable. While there was only a short stay in each location there was enough time to get a good overview. We enjoyed the tour.

Exciting ride to the hinterland - Interesting drive through the hinterland of the French Riviera to the charming medieval towns.
We started with the Perfume Factory Tour and ended in the artists village st. Paul, which is now more of a sales gallery.
Philippe was a good guide and extended the excursion with his stories.

Flexible tour with plenty of history and great sites and scenery. - Our guide, Philippe offered to alter our tour slightly since we weren’t interested in touring the perfumery by adding extra tour time at the 3 mid evil towns we were visiting. It was a good tour with village history & info provided by Philippe as we drove surrounded in beautiful scenery! We had plenty of time to walk each village and didn’t feel rushed.

This trip was as... - This trip was as wonderful as everyone says. Our guide, Phillipe was great. He allowed time for us at each stop and pointed out places to eat, take pictures, etc. As we were the only ones on the tour, we elected to skip the perfumery as we did one on the Monaco tour, this helped us spend more time at the other stops. Thanks again Phillippe for a great tour.

A calm relaxing tour in the countryside! - A beautiful road with spectacular scenery in the mountains. The 3 villages differ from one another, each with its own ambiance. I will recommend this tour to people who want to get out of the cities.

Perfect 5-hour itinerary - This experience was great, but Phillipe was the star! He gave us a bit of history, anecdotes, and humor during his tour of Gourdon, Tourettes Sue Loup, and Paul De Vence. Phillipe provided us necessary information to explore the villages on our own. It's a perfect itinerary if you are wanting to see some of the countryside and small villages near Nice. Thanks Phillipe for a very memorable time!

Best half day tour of the surrounding area of Nice - Phillipe gave us a very informative and fun tour. We were given adequate time at each place and moved around in an air-conditioned and comfortable van. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Nice.
