What To Expect
Mougins
Guided Tour of the old village of MOUGINS, which, from the top of its peak extends spiral like a snail, with its 19 fountains, its ancestral lanes and dominates the panorama of the bay of Cannes, the Lerins Islands, Grasse and neighboring villages perched. As soon as you arrive in the village, you will succumb to the charm of its small, carefully flowered streets lined with beautiful old village houses. Beautiful doors, stones restored with taste, windows cleverly highlighted … wherever your gaze will be, the wonder of detail will follow! The imprint of the past subtly preserved, the harmony of colors and the quality of light have attracted many artists and celebrities who chose to stay in Mougins, including Picasso (who spent the last 15 years of his life), Cocteau, Fernand Léger, Paul Eluard, Man Ray, Winston Churchill, Christian Dior, Catherine Deneuve, Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel … among others. Mougins has always had close links with the artistic and cultural world.
Grasse
Guided tour of the historic village of GRASSE. Since the seventeenth century, the city has been considered the world capital of perfume. She obtained three flowers at the contest of towns and villages in bloom and was promoted « City of Art and History » You will love the winding alleys, often in staircase, and you will be able to admire in the passage a square Sarrasin tower, vestiges of ramparts of the 16th century, the town hall installed in the old Episcopal palace, the raised medieval houses in the 17th and 18th centuries , You will also come across singing fountains and quaint squares with inviting café terraces, vaulted passageways, freshly painted red ocher or yellow facades . This medieval village is unique in the region by its architecture. We will not miss the Cathedral Notre-Dame du Puy, Romanesque-Provencal style: built in the 13th century, and often reworked. Inside, a beautiful altarpiece attributed to Louis Bréa, three canvases by Rubens and a painting by Fragonard

5.00My family and I did a full day tour with Guy and could not be more pleased with the entire experience. From the beginning while I was planning it, Guy was very responsive, had great suggestions and made everything easy. He was prompt to pick us up in the morning, and talked through with us what we hoped to see and wanted to make sure everyone (kids and adults) had a great time. He delivered! We visited Gourdon, Grasse and Mougins and saw amazingly beutiful villages, learned a lot about perfume, had a delicious lunch in a 500 year old building and learned a lot of interesting things. Besides being a great guide, Guy was a really nice guy and his love of the area really came through. I usually book tours when we go to new places, and this one was one of the top we've ever done. I could not recommend the tour more highly. Book it - you won't regret it!
Wonderful tour

5.00My wife and I Did a private tour with Guy to several small mountain villages above Cannes France during a cruise in June of 2025. All the Villages we were taken to were extremely beautiful , charming and very French. My wife and I had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this tour company and especially Guy the tour guide. He took us to to Gourdon a small French village high on a mountain top where we had a wonderful French lunch . Guy really added a lot to the tour as he is very professional and is a wonderful guide with an appreciation of French beauty and culture. Would highly recommend doing a tour in Provence with this company and especially Guy.

5.00The tour of 4 French Riviera towns was great! We - 4 women from a family - were delighted with the tour offered, led by a knowledgeable and sensitive guide. He surprised us with fabulous waterfalls that were not included in the tour. I highly recommend this tour. It was the most beautiful day of our visit to Nice. Thank you!
Great day out with so much information

5.00Guy has a large amount of knowledge which he is eager to pass on being very passionate about his country and neighbouring country of Italy, we have been taken to places we would never have known about making our time in both France and Italy one to remember.

5.00This tour was the highlight of our 11 day Italy/France trip. After reading all the 5 star reviews I didn't hesitate booking with Guy, and the booking process was easy - Guy is very responsive on email. It was only my husband and we were staying in Monaco. We had never been to the region so I asked Guy to plan the day for us. Pick up was bright and early and we started in Nice. We stopped on the way for some view photos and then went to old town. Walking around Nice with Guy was like hanging out with a friend who knows everyone. We grabbed a quick breakfast and then walked through the old streets. You can go to old town Nice, but you don't know what exactly you're looking at unless you use a guide. He pointed out so many places and little things that we would have otherwise missed. We ended in the large market where we shopped and snacked. Next stop was Anitbes and we did the quiet side of the town, wandering down mostly empty, beautiful, flower lined alleys and streets. Again, Guy knew all the things to look for and truly knows everything about the region. We ended up walking through the busy (touristy) part of town for some gelato and shopping, then back to the van. Our last stop was the hilltop village of Eze. I knew nothing about Eze, but Guy was excited to show it to us. After walking up from the parking lot, Guy dropped us at the most exclusive hotel in the area - La Chevre D'or. He got us into a spot on the balcony of the restaurant overlooking the sea. He left us to have some alone time, and we took in the amazing views while sipping wine and eating cheese, before our return to Monaco. I cannot recommend Guy highly enough. He was laid back, fun, full of knowledge and knew just how much to speak with us and when to let us enjoy things on our own. He books out far in advance, so if you are lucky enough to secure a date, just do it. You won't be disappointed.
GREAT TOUR! Our favorite day of our vacation!

5.00Our tour with Guy (Riviera Together Tours) was outstanding! We spent the entire day visiting 3 different medieval villages and it was our favorite day of our vacation. The villages / scenery were amazing, had so much charm & character and so worth visiting! Guy was the perfect guide - he was very personable, funny and very knowledgeable. He went above & beyond to make our day so much fun. We cannot say enough good about him - would definitely recommend booking a tour with him! You will not regret it. Thank you guy for everything! We hope to see you again!
