Fabio was amazing!!!! We are so glad we did the tour!! It was the highlight of our vacation! We got to see so much more in the South of France! Not to mention, you will be in so many other people’s photographs because the car is soooooo cool!
What a fantastic day we had with Fabio and his iconic Citroën Méhari! Fabio is an incredibly friendly and attentive guide who shares his knowledge of the area with great enthusiasm. He knows so much about the region, gave us wonderful tips for the rest of our holiday, and nothing was ever too much trouble. We saw so much and discovered places we would never have found on our own. Thanks to Fabio, we experienced the French Riviera from a completely different perspective. It was a relaxed, enjoyable, and truly unique experience that we would highly recommend to everyone. Without a doubt, one of the absolute highlights of our holiday! Thanks Fabio!
Fabio was flexible and quickly found what we were interested in and adapted the itinerary accordingly. The Citron was fun and a great way to see the great scenery. If you can, make this part of your trip. You will not regret it! Rick & Kathy NC, USA
Thank you so much, Rick & Kathy! It was a real pleasure meeting you both and showing you around the French Riviera. I'm so glad you enjoyed the flexibility of the tour and that we could adapt the itinerary to match your interests. And of course, I'm happy to hear you had fun exploring in the little Citroën Méhari! Thank you again for your kind words and recommendation. I hope to welcome you back to the Côte d'Azur one day! Best regards, Fabio
Beautiful day with hair in the wind in the Méhari 😍 we loved to crisscross the narrow streets to admire the beautiful scenery and take photos! Fabio treated us with care and knew how to please us by adapting the tour according to our desires. I recommend everyone to live this experience 👌 thank you again!
Merci beaucoup je vous remercie sincèrement pour vos gentils mots je suis vraiment heureux que vous ayez apprécié l’expérience et l’ambiance du tour Ce fut un plaisir d’adapter l’itinéraire selon vos envies et de partager ces magnifiques endroits avec vous Merci encore pour votre recommandation et au plaisir de vous revoir sur la Côte d’Azur
We enjoyed a fabulous few hours with Fabio in the vintage Citron touring around the South of France. He took us high up to visit Eze village. We had 45 mins to walk around the lovely cobbled streets, visit the artisan shops and feel as though we’d gone back in time. Very picturesque. There is also a tropical garden there but it was rather busy so we decided not to visit in the time we had allocated. Fabio amended the trip for us so instead of drive around Monaco (we had already visited) he kindly offered us a tour around the coastal route to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. We then enjoyed a lovely walk along the scenic coastal promenade to the beach and marina. A very peaceful area as away from the main tourist areas due to there being no direct train access. Fabio stopped at key view points around the tour for us to take photos. His English is perfect so he could give us lots of local information plus answer any questions we had. Fabio was very friendly and took good care of us, particularly entering and exiting the vehicle as it’s quite tight and we’re not so agile anymore (retired) He also provided drinks too, even wine! We highly recommend this experience
Thank you very much I truly appreciate your kind words I am really happy you enjoyed the experience and the itinerary it was a pleasure spending those hours together and adapting the tour to your preferences I am glad you liked Eze and the coastal route to Saint Jean Cap Ferrat it is always special to share these places and moments with my guests Thank you again for the recommendation and I hope to see you again on the French Riviera
Very beautiful and cozy trip along the coast in Fabios good company and nice car. The warmest recommendations from us. An additional bonus was the opportunity to see the beautiful botanical garden in Eze (entry not included). Thank you, Fabio!😊🙏🏼
Thank you so much, Martha! I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour — it was a pleasure having you on board.
This was truly an unforgettable experience. This tour was an excellent way to see a variety of stunning locations and breathtaking views that the Rivera has to offer. What stood out the most was how personalised the experience was; it felt like nothing was too much trouble for our guide, Fabio. From the moment we started, Fabio made us feel at ease. His extensive knowledge about the area and its history was impressive, and his patience made the journey enjoyable. It genuinely felt like we were travelling with a friend rather than just a tour guide. The refreshments along the way were a lovely, unexpected extra touch. I would not hesitate to book this tour again and wholeheartedly recommend it to others. If you’re looking for a fantastic way to explore the Rivera with a knowledgeable and friendly guide, this is the tour for you!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Victoria. I’m truly happy you enjoyed the tour and the time we spent together. It was a real pleasure to show you the Riviera, and I’m glad you felt comfortable and well looked after. Your recommendation means a lot to me!
Very good visit Attentive and very pleasant guide Gives us time to take breaks to visit during the route
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour. Je suis ravi que la visite vous ait plu et que vous ayez apprécié le rythme et les pauses pour découvrir les lieux. Ce fut un plaisir de vous accompagner.
This was a brilliant tour. Fabio tailored it to suit us as had already visited some places many times before. He took us to places that were not easy to reach on public transport and gave us plenty of time to explore in each. Would thoroughly recommend
Thank you for the great feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed the tailored tour and got to explore some new, off-the-beaten-path spots. It was a pleasure touring with you!
My first time in the French riviera, I was able to see so much thanks to Mr Fabio. I was able to cover a few cities in one day with amazing views
Thank you! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed your first time on the Riviera and that we could cover so much in one day. It was a pleasure showing you around!
