A great day trip in the French Riviera Outback with Alex Guyatt - Nice
5 star day trip to French Riviera Outback with Alex Guyatt
1012442417
We recently spent a day in the "outback" of the French Riviera with Alex Guyatt, owner of Riviera tours. Alex had come to our attention because of his positive online reviews from others who previously hired him for day trips around the French Riviera.
Alex responded immediately to my initial inquiry and we pre-planned a day for my family in the Tourette sur loop, Gourdon and Grasse areas capped off by stops in Vallauris and driving through Antibes on the way back to Nice. One of the things I like about Alex is if you give him the broad outlines of the trip, he fills in a lot of the details. For instance he added the Russian Orthodox Church at the beginning of our day trip, the Florian confiseur ( sweet treats) in the middle of the trip and spontaneously added the small Picasso museum in Vallauris (a real gem) at the end of the trip. Alex knows other important details as well - ie- the best boulangerie in Tourette or the best restaurant in Gourdon.
We liked our day trip with Alex to the French Riviera outback so much that we promptly asked him if he had another day available and spent the final day of our Riviera vacation touring Cap Ferrat, Villa Rothschild, Monaco, Monte Carlo Casino and Villefranche with him.I can't recommend his services highly enough!
