8:00 AM: ANTIBES Check-out Founded in Roman times, the traditional fishing port, this city is famous for its “billionaire’s quay” where the most beautiful yachts in the world are moored. Free time in the old town at the Provencal Covered Point of Sale with the very narrow streets typical of the French Riviera. We will leave by the fortification ramparts direction Grasse to the perfumery another beautiful place of the riviera.
FAT The world capital of the flower and perfume industry. Free tour of the Fragonard factory with an experienced guide.
GOURDON A medieval village of the Côte d'Azur perched at 720 of impressive altitude due to the beauty of the landscapes and the breathtaking view of the coastline of the Riviera. Visit the little castle and the glassblower artists' shops.
TOURRETTES ON WOLF From the 17th century, this medieval village also called the city of violets, located in a valley with a charm in the narrow streets as in a labyrinth, not to mention to taste the famous ice cream violet.
SAINT PAUL DE VENCE In the hinterland 30 minutes from Nice, Saint Paul is the most visited village of the Côte d'Azur. In the Middle Ages, Saint-Paul was the rendezvous of the greatest impressionist painters and sculptors such as Chagal, Monet, Picasso, Matisse ... who all worked there at their times
Philippe our driver was very pleasant and an excellent driver. Our group’s favourite was visiting the Medieval towns. Never could have imagined how beautiful they would be!
This was quite a lovely addition to our honeymoon trip to France. Philippe was punctual, accommodating and very helpful all throughout the tour. He took us to places we would have otherwise missed, and recommended places to eat or try. I found we spent enough time at each location, and were dropped off close enough or right next to main attractions to make our stay easier. The highlight of the tour for me was the visit to the perfume factory, and later the three little medieval villages. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who would like to visit and understand a bit more the region in just one day. It was honestly wonderful!
This is NOT a guided tour. This is a $1500 taxi service. Our driver dropped us off at St Paul at 9 am although ALL the stores were closed at that time and told us "go through the tunnel and follow your heart" and come back in 30 minutes. This was the same at Antibes, Cannes. ZERO recommendations on where to go and what should be seen, ZERO recommendation on restaurants. Literally dropped us in the middle of town and told us to come back at a certain time. Ironically, guidance was to be provided at the Fragrance factory where you would be shown how the perfume was made after which you could purchase perfumes; we refused this tour. This was a great disappointment and a waste of money. We are requesting a refund.
We had a wonderful time in this tour. Philippe, our tour guide, was punctual, very organized and knowledgeable as well as attentive, courteous and respectful. The places we visited were amazing, including Antibes, Gourdon, Tourrettes and St Paul de Vence. Philippe suggested an auberge for lunch in Gourdon which turned out to be a great choice. The gazpacho and the Niçoise salad I had were superb. The owner, the waiter and the chef were hospitable and cordial.
Just came back from Nice, and I'm compelled to write a review for Philippe. First - punctuality, he picked us up on time. Also, cleanliness - the car was spotless and fresh! Second - Philippe gave us the history of every location we visited, that way when we arrived we knew what we were going to see. We had ample time in each place, and at every location we went, the group may have been late by 10 minutes, but he never rushed, complained, or cut time out of other locations. Philippe is incredibly friendly and funny! We were a group of global strangers when we started, but we became friends by the end of the day in big part because Philippe made everyone feel at ease. Philippe provided us recommendations of what to see at each location, including where to eat. Philippe's food recommendations were excellent, good quality, inexpensive, and scenic. All in all - it was a fantastic day, we saw the entire medival countryside in a day and we learned a lot. I'd say if you want a good day, don't hesitate, Philippe is accommodating and does a great job.
Philippe the guide came to pick us up at the hotel at the scheduled time. Off we went with a nice air conditioned car to our destinations, the next more beautiful than the last. Philippe gave us tips as to what to do or see, and gave us time from 30 to 60 mins to wander around at each town. The views were magnificent and some of the places were definitely ones that we wouldn't have seen or visited on our own. We stopped at a restaurant to have lunch and it was one of the best meals of our holidays. Definitely recommend this excursion to anyone who wants to experience multiple gorgeous towns in a day with a great fun guide!
Philippe was an excellent guide. He was informative, flexible, knowledgeable and fun. He brought us to some wonderful places in the country side that you would not normally see. In addition his lunch recommendation was spot on!
We had a wonderful time with Phillipe. He is so knowledgeable anout Provence and had great recommendations that suited all of our wishes. We saw and experienced everything on our wish list. Thank you Phillipe for a fun adventure!
We saw all the places we were interested in particularly the perfume factory in Grasse was amazing and St Paul de Vence. Also the lunch in Gourdon was very good.
Amazing tour with Phelip! Really kind guide, drove us to beautiful and memorable places we would otherwise not know about if not for the tour. Really recommended for those who want to get an overview of Provence!
Very fun day. The guide made this trip much more enjoyable. He was fun. Took us to a local restaurant for lunch which was fabulous. Highly recommend.
Phillips was a wonderful guide and showed us parts of France we would have never seen. Great lunch at a medieval village and learned much history. We highly recommend.
Philippe was a great guide. We laughed along the way and enjoyed a wonderful day which included marvelous lunch In Provence. The villages were so spectacular. I recommend this tour
My wife and I truly enjoyed our one day trip through Antibes, Cannes, and then through the beautiful countryside with Philippe. We picked up one additional passenger, so we traveled with four in the car. He was very punctual at every pick-up and drop-off. Philippe is very friendly, engaging and keeps the conversation going. Make sure to ask a ton of questions because he is knowledgeable about the area and the history in the various places we went to. You'll learn alot! The time allotted to check out a place is sufficient enough to explore, take pictures, and buy some food. Each destination that you go to has its own feel. I really enjoyed Gourdon. It's a small village on top of the mountain with an incredible view of the whole southern side of France. You must go there to experience it! My description won't suffice to bring to life the majesty and splendor of the countryside. He'll take you to the best places for lunch. We really enjoyed the flavors and authenticity of the food. Even though he doesn't have many reviews, it doesn't mean that he is not good at what he does. It's like a diamond in the rough; traveling with Philippe is a one in a million experience. You will totally enjoy this trip and any other trip that he does on Viator. Give it a shot! We were not disappointed; truly money well spent. Philippe, our friend! wishing you all the best! You deserve it, good sir.
This trip is an amazing experience, especially the 3 medieval villages. The tour guide, Phillipe was really nice and flexible with the schedule.
The tour with Philippe was excellent. Very entertaining and knowledgeable. Excellent picturesque views of the area. Philippe went above and beyond expectations making for an excellent trip to see the Provence! Highly recommend for anyone traveling to Nice!
Excellent service. Phillipe is very professional and did everything to serve his clients. We had a pleasant time with his experience and knowledge of Provenge. Would highly recommend, especially lunch at Tourette, chez Jean Paul.
Really enjoyed our day In Provence. A beautiful selection of places to visit. Thank you for a memorable day.
My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed our one day journeying through Antibes, Cannes, and then through the beautiful countryside with Philippe. We had picked up one additional passenger And ultimately traveled with four in the car. Philippe was very friendly and accommodating. The car smelled of smoke but nothing a rolled down window couldnt fix. We stopped for lunch at this wonderful restaurant Philippe recommended in Gourdon—it was tres delicious. We came home with amazing photos of the Riviera. I was pretty skeptical upon booking this tour because of the low number of reviews but Philippe surpassed my expectations. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone (younger, older, families with children, couples, or friends) who want to make the most of seeing more of the south of France with a limited amount of time! It was a pleasure Philippe! Until next time—Lillian and Connie*
Great tour of the countryside seeing the very popular sites such as Antibes and Cannes and some fascinating medieval villages.
Excellent. Super great guide, on time, informative, helpful and loads of fun. Very enjoyable travelling companions was an unexpected bonus. Sites we went to were all worth the time and money. Tour was what we hoped for and more.
We got lucky and were the only people this day for the tour which means we got Philippe for ourselves. He was on time, funny, informative and accommodating. He let us adjust time in different cities based on what we were interested in (more time in historic villages, less time in Cannes). Absolutely recommend 100%. We had a wonderful day.
My daughter, young teenage granddaughter and I spent an amazing day touring Provence with a wonderful laid back Frenchman named Phillipe. He was on time, well informed, and an all around charming companion with whom to spend the day. We did not feel rushed at any time and were allowed ample time for shopping, lunch and sightseeing. A very well planned excursion, with a tour of the perfume factory a pleasant stop along the way. I highly recommend this tour especially if one has limited time to spend in the area. Phillipe is a pleasure to work with!
My mother and I did the tour and would highly recommend it. We made five stops and Phillippe was an amazing tour guide. Especially if you only have one day, this tour gives you the opportunity to see some beautiful places.
We enjoyed a well-planned and executed trip with Phillipe from Cannes to St Paul. We were conveniently and on time, picked up and dropped off at the apartment we stayed. It was a very informative and fun day, with lots of beautiful country sites to see. Phillipe also granted us more that the allocated time to shop at the markets, which was a highlight. We ate, at the pictures restaurant, pre-booked by Phillip in Gourdon, the food was excellent, as well as the views. He also ensure that we saw the second village on the route, as the normal route where blocked by a rock fall. Thank you very much Phillipe
Le tour très intéressant mais pas dans langage demander fait en anglais et problème avec accompagnateur.
Three beautiful villages that are difficult for individuals to travel around, You can enjoy sightseeing comfortably and efficiently. The villages are all small, so there was plenty of sightseeing time. Philip is a very kind and pleasant person. We are not very good at English, He was very easy to understand and spoke to me politely. It was amazing to see the city, beautiful scenery and Aurora in my own eyes. I recommend it. S.Sanae
Super-journée, avec un guide, Philippe, aussi enthousiaste que nous devant les beautés de la région, et qui n’hésite pas à faire quelques haltes-photos imprévues. Excursion choisie surtout pour Tourrettes-sur-Loup et Gourdon, et c’était magnifique. Très bien aussi pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas le reste du parcours (Antibes par exemple). Merci... Christine.
