5.00This was a great way to see some of the country side outside of Nice and to learn some of the local history. We had a great time and our guide Cyril was the best.

5.00We truly had the finest tour guide we have ever had on this trip. Cyrus took wonderful care of us and the entire group. He was a terrific historian and tour director, know all the local people, and was so incredibly supportive of our family. Can thank him enough and the trip was simply beautiful.

5.00Cyril and Samuel were fantastic. Very engaging and knowledgeable about the history and region. Hike up to the castle at the first stop was no joke, but optional for those who would rather walk the village. Lunch was delightful and the train ride was fun with amazing scenery. There is no snack cart on the train so bring your own.

5.00Tour charming French villages, slow and relax a bit, take a day to break from the tourist mecca at the coast, enjoy the expert guides. It is a long day, but it was nice to take the time to enjoy the small details to see through the centuries-old villages without the crowds.
One of the most wonderful tours we have ever taken!!!

5.00One of the most wonderful tours we have ever taken and it because of our guide, Cyril! We have used Viator all over Europe and by far, Cyril provided the best tour ever. He was extremely knowledgeable, witty, and warm and took care of absolutely every single detail to make our day filled with joy and adventure! We took the train into the Alps and spent the day in the beautiful medieval town of Annot! It was a piece of heaven in the mountains with fresh charcuterie, and cheese and wine from the local butcher! ALWAYS request Cyril and you will never be disappointed. We would love to make him our personal tour guide for every single trip we take from now on!
