Our guide Adrianne was simply wonderful. The Mercedes van was very comfortable given that there were only two couples on this day. Our guide picked us up on time at our hotel and also dropped us off very close to all the major sites. Adrianne was very knowledgeable and was also able to answer all our questions in English very well. The amount of free time at each site was perfect and we returned to our hotel on time. We highly recommend this tour if you wish to see the Nice hinterland and its amazing scenery and towns.
Dear Ross, Thank you very much for your kind feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Adrienn and appreciated the comfort of the Mercedes van and the small-group experience.

We’re also glad you discovered the beautiful scenery of the Nice hinterland, including the surroundings of Nice. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again soon on the French Riviera! TOUR AZUR TEAM
Great experience on all the places. Some reviews have said no need to go to Cannes but we had a great time there. It is different than the small towns but the views of the city, beaches, and hotels are worth it. Marlon was great driver and guide. He was super knowledgeable about all the towns. The drive between the towns was breathtaking. Jim and Jeanne, Texas April 2026.

We were picked up promptly by monsieur Antoine in a clean and very comfortable van. He was very informative and friendly- he was able to communicate very nicely with two teenagers and keep them interested in the tour! His English was immaculate. Our trip included Cannes, Grasse and Téo fantastic Provence villages in the mountains- Gourdon and St.Paul de Vance. Just absolutely gorgeous and well worth the trip. We highly recommend this trip and this tour guide:)

Had a great day out with Stefan as our driver and guide. He couldn't have been more attentive and had an excellent knowledge of Cannes, Grasse, Gourdon and Saint Paul de Vence and everywhere in between. Nothing was too much trouble and any instructions he gave us (e.g. meeting places, times etc) were clear and appropriate. If you do a tour with this company and are lucky enough to get Stefan then you're assured of a great experience.
We are very happy that you had a great experience with Tour Azur. Our guides team wants always for you to have the best experience on the tours. Stephan will be pleased after reading all your compliments. As we say it in French: Merci beaucoup for the recommendation. We hope to see you soon on a next adventure with Tour Azur! Tour Azur Team
Thierry was our fabulous, funny informative, caring and captivating guide. He has such an expansive wealth of knowledge and joyously delivered engaging answers to anything group members asked. Our family of Mum, Dad and two young adults all immensely enjoyed an exceptionally delightful day which included a tremendous balance of seriously breath-taking views, and amazing sites which were both interesting and dazzling. The old cliffside villages; absolutely awesome! The timing at each stop was just right for sight seeing eating and shopping (if preferred), and we all agreed that every stop, including the fascinating perfumery, was well with the visit. Thanks for a brilliant day Thierry. A true highlight of our holiday.
Dear Fiona, Thank you very much for this wonderful feedback. We are very happy that you named the experience with Tour Azur the highlight of your holiday.

Loved finding perfume that was best for me. It was so cool learning it. Seeing other towns in the area was fantastic.
Dear Lesly, We are grateful that you had a new experience with Tour Azur. It is wonderful that you loved this tour. The perfume discovery is a jam of the French Riviera. We hope to see you again on a new discovery with us! Tour Azur Team
