    We had so much fun! Xavier was full of knowledge and so nice. Great experience for a group tour to see some of the countryside.

    A little underwhelming. Our tour guide Michel was so very friendly, and the parfumerie tour was very informative and interesting, but the coach is very uncomfortable to ride in through the winding roads, and we didn't learn much about any of the places we visited. The wine tasting offered some of the smallest pours of any tasting I've ever been to, and it was sweltering hot. We didn't learn much of anything about the wine, grapes, or terroir, and our tour of the winery was very sparse. Again, the guide was fabulous, but the tour was very underwhelming.

    In this trip you arrive to amazing places. But the drive is too long. We stopped for only short time in the villages.

    Kara was a great guide. She had to deal with a slightly awkward situation of someone wanting a Spanish tour and she dealt with it well. We found we had a lot in common with another couple on the tour and had great conversations.

    Everything was perfect! We got to See many beautiful places that we probably would’nt find by ourself. The guide was fantastic!

    Very unorganized, we were picked up an hour early without communication. Unable to go to first site and no alternate route per driver. After 2 hours of driving, we pulled over for the first picture. Area choosen for lunch was poor at best… lunch should be provided for the cost of this tour. We have been on many tours, we do not recommend this one!

    Nicholas led us on a wonderful tour which included a confectionery, an old town with amazing views, a center square where we were able to enjoy a nice lunch, a visit to a nice perfumery and finally a visit to a winery. In addition to taking us to 5 wonderful destinations we were also educated on the local area as we drove between stops. Overall a wonderful day exploring the region.

    "Grasse, Gourdon, Valbonne and Wine Tasting Full-day from Nice Small-Group Tour" - is a mis-representation of this tour. The wine tasting took approximately 45 minutes with a completely dis-interested host and a driver who rushed everyone back to the vehicle to return to Nice - and this was the final part of the day.

    Visiting to the Perfume factory was the best, we could easily have more time in the shop and more time in Grasse :)

    We had a fun time on this tour! Kad was an excellent tour guide who answered all our questions and gave us a history lesson of the locations we visited. Our favorite part was the wine tour.
