Small Group Full-Day Trip to Medieval French Riviera Villages from Nice
Description
In this 8-hours small-group tour, discover the charming perched villages of the French Riviera. Go to various different medieval cities and feel their associated lifestyles - the perfumes of Grasse, the art of St. Paul de Vence, the violets of Tourrettes-sur-Loup. Stop for lunch in a perched village offering one of the best views over the entire French Riviera coastline. For the almost magical light of this little piece of Provence, for its stunning landscapes overlooking the Mediterranean, Saint-Paul de Vence has always inspired its visitors.

Perfectly organized, knowledgeable guide, great experience. We enjoyed a small group setting. Highly recommend.
Dear Vaida, Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Small Group Full-Day Trip to Medieval French Riviera Villages . Your kind words about our organization, knowledgeable guides, and small group settings truly make our day! 😊 We also share your comment with Eric, who was your guide. We’re delighted you had a great experience and highly recommendable time. Looking forward to welcoming you back for more adventures!
Simply EXCELLENT! Pissaliers and pizzas are "to fall"! The small cream cabbages are equally excellent. Vanina and Nicolas are extremely friendly. Go taste their fresh produce, you will come back! Full of courage to this young couple who deserve to be known!
bonjour et merci pour ce sympathique commentaire ; il semblerait néanmoins que vous vous soyez trompé de prestataire. Néanmoins votre recommendation gourmande est très intéressante . Vous avez probablement fait une excursion touristique avez nous et nous espérons que vous avez apprécié votre journée avec notre chauffeur guide. Bien cordialement
Today I was finally able to take a tour that had been canceled twice, and Marie from ‘Expert Travel’, made it happen. The driver and guide Martina was excellent! She picked me up at agreed-upon location and was very nice and professional. She drove safely and provided very interesting information on all the locations. There was enough time at each location for wandering the streets and plenty of time for photo ops. Martina was inclusive of everyone's requests and very sensitive to the needs of everyone. I had such a good time with the other ladies on the trip. Martina’s knowledge of every location was impressive and she is informed with both history and modern information. Martina was excellent in every way. My experience with the Director of Expert Travel, Marie, provided me with a corrective experience after having had a negative experience with other travel guides. Thank you, Marie and Martina. I highly recommend Expert Travel.
Dear MaryLouise, it was a pleasure to organize your journey. Your comments are highly appreciated and we will share them with our team especially Martina. We wish you a wonderful sojourn on the sunny french Riviera
We were impressed by the little villages we visited, the history, the old Roman structures and the views from the areas. We liked the visit to the perfume factory and learning the process and how to smell each note.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us
It was more like a taxi ride in between beautiful places. Suggestion to Viator: use recordings for each place while en route. 5 stars to the route 1 star to the driver/guide Average/total: 3 stars
We are sorry to read your comment - The service has been provided by a partner as we didn't have availability that day . We always do our utmost to satisfy our clients and will talk to the partner and check why their tour guide didn't give enough comments according to your message. Why didn't you contact us during or after the tour ?
The weather so beautiful that day. Our driver so very kind and on time. I love the whole trip amazing. Thanks
thank you for your nice comment, highly appreciate We love when to hear that our visitors enjoyed their journey with us
This whole tour from start to finish was just fabulous. Our guide Akis was truly wonderful. Courteous and professional making sure all his group was together and were hydrated with caring professionalism.
Thank you for this kind review that AKIS will appreciate
The coast where you can access the trebuchets sucks. Building abuse and cementing. There's a bike path overrun with weeds. The walls that connect the coast to the road are an immense brush. Cemented hinterland with many building abuses. Tunisia model (but they are poor).
Dear Sir or Madam, It seems that you are mistaking about the tour as we didn't have the tour "country side" on May 7th and we don't see your name in our planning in MAI KIndly contact us and send us a mail so we understand your comment and try to reply to it. Your comment seems to explain that the country side in our area is with cements and roadworks... Thats very surprising as in Grasse we have the perfume factory , the old town nice to visit, than we drive to Gourdon a wonderful village, drive on the scenic road of the Loup canyon, see Tourrettes sur Loup and the wonderful village of Saint Paul de Vence We don't understand your comment which is very confusing. You also compare the country side to Tunisia . Your comment has nothing to do with our services or the tour listed.
Our expectation of this tour was that there would be commentary during the trip with descriptions and stories of the towns we visited as per the description of this tour. There was no such thing. All you are paying for is a transfer from town to town. The towns were breathtaking. Skip the pergume factory tour.
Dear Liza, I'm sorry to read this comment as your tour guide Philip does always have excellent comments ; maybe the problem was due to the fact that the tour was this day in 2 languages as we had 2 spanish guests who didn't speak english - Regarding the perfume factory, Grasse is part of the tour and it's the capital of the perfume in France, that's why we included a guided tour of the perfume factory provided by Fragonard, and mostly our visitors enjoy this part.
Philippe our driver was excellent. We visited several small towns along the French Riviera and he was very knowledgeable about the area’s we visited.
Thank you for your comment. It's always a pleasure when our visitors recommand our services
