5.00Great experience! Visited three villages that we would not have been able to see without this. Phenomenal views from high up; makes for great pictures! Fraginard factory was interesting and happy we saw it. Our guide, Fatima, was fantastic and a great driver on the narrow hilly roads. Would highly recommend.
Too expensive for content

3.00Tour provided transportation via van with other parties to parfumerie in Grasse, two small hill towns and a small eclectic winery with mediocre wines. Guide spent more time talking about herself than history/geography etc. Not worth the 125euro/person charge.
Fantastic tour with a great guide

5.00We booked a day trip to Grasse, the perfume factory, Valbonne, Goudon, and Domaine de Source winery. Our guide, Xavier, was fantastic and had so much local knowledge. The amount of time in each place was perfect. We loved everything about our day in the countryside outside of Nice.
A very memorable trip

5.00This tour was absolutely one of the highlights of my trip to Nice and les alentours. Our guide Xavier was knowledgeable, warm and kind, giving us plenty of historical and cultural information that really brought the landscapes to life as we travelled in the van. The tour offers a taste of several different places in the countryside that are different in their own ways, good if you want to see a lot in a day. Un grand merci! Christina
So much beauty in one tour

5.00This tour included an inside look at the process of perfume production in Grasse, a pretty town perched on a hillside. We continued on to other beautiful hilltop towns, including Valbonne and Gourdon. I wish we had more time in Valbonne because it is so beautiful. We ended at a beautiful winery. Fatima was our tour guide to whom we owe a heartfelt merci for her skillful driving through some hair raising roads.
Fantastic day in the countryside

5.00This was more than just perfume and wine in Provence. Our guide provided interesting cultural and historical info about each stop, and provided ample time to spend exploring and shopping before moving on to another area. The guide was a very good driver, and the van was spacious and comfortable Overall this was a highlight of our trip.
Beautiful towns, nice day but wouldn’t recommend unless revamped

4.00The day started off all wrong. The guide, albeit very nice, pleasant, informative and knowledgeable, was 30 minutes late. It was raining and traffic was even more horrific. We stopped at the Fragonard Perfume Factory in Grasse first. This was a pleasant, but rushed tour. Barely time to take the tour and grab a few soaps and perfumes. Then on to Valbonne. I would skip this town altogether, especially on Mondays as most of the town is shut down. There wasn’t any place to just grab a quick lunch or snack. We asked to get coffee at a restaurant in the main square and the waitress was very rude; did not smile one time and treated us like we were a bother. The on to Gourdon. I would use the time allocated to Valbonne and extend the time in Gourdon, a beautiful, quaint town at the top of a cliff overlooking the Riviera! Gorgeous! From there we were supposed to tour the Château de Crémat and sample glasses of the local Bellet wine. Instead we ended up at a tiny winery. It was beautiful but so disappointing. Overall a nice day but wouldn’t recommend unless revamped, especially for the amount we paid for this tour!
A taste of the French countryside
