Ibrahim is a very safe driver which is really important on these narrow, winding mountain roads. He provided good history and gave us enough time in each village. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Excellent guide, perfect itinerary. This was the perfect end to our southern France vacation. It hit all the right towns and perfect fliw of the day.
I truly enjoyable day. Ibrahim was a fantastic guide with lots of interesting information about all the stops. We enjoyed walking through all the medieval towns and the views in the French Alps. This is a small group tour, a plus, and on our day we were the only two on the tour. Highly recommend and a great way to explore the area.
We had wonderful time exploring four beautiful mountain top villages near Nice. Throughout the tour Ibrahim thoroughly explained the history of the region. Since we’re the only two who signed up for the tour on the day, we pretty much had a private tour. At each village, we had plenty of time to explore and thoroughly enjoy all four Thank you very much, Ibrahim!!
Beautiful stops. Worth a day of touring. Our guide was very accommodating. He made sure to bring the van to us so we wouldn’t have to walk far.
Ibraham was a wonderful host. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and had a very good grasp of the English language. He was also very helpful and friendly.
My sister and I had a wonderful time and we both agree it was totally worth spending a day out on this tour. Ibrahim was very knowledgeable about the region's history, as well courteous, kind, and patient for all nine hours as we peppered him with questions. There was only one other person on our tour so it was almost a private tour, and it's really, really nice to have an air conditioned van take you around in the middle of August. I don't think we would have been able to see and experience as much in one day if we were on our own, and it's nice not having to worry about the logistics of getting to and navigating different towns. I would recommend this tour company to my friends and family, and I would definitely take another tour with Ibrahim if I return to the area.
Great tour. Our guide made it memorable with his knowledge of each village. Recommend him highly! Highlight of our trip
I just visited the four beautiful medieval towns of Grasse, Gourdon, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence on an organised tour with Ibrahim, who was the nicest tour guide and driver. He was extremely gentlemanly, courteous, flexible, and went out of his way to make sure I had a wonderful experience. His knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality made the day truly memorable. I would highly recommend this tour.
Tour was as advertised and went very smoothly. Guide was well informed and provided lots of local knowledge.
Solid trip, amazing views and a lot of content. Type of the tour where you are not held by hand all the time and explore for yourself. Ibrahim was very nice and car air conditioning was supreme
Best last minute decision we made, we were skeptical , but the trip was above our expectations! The best way to get closer to Provence if you are in the Riviera. A wonderful relaxing day enjoying the stunning Provencal scenery in a convenient Mercedes van and learning a lot about history. Our guide Ibrahim was terrific! We felt so lucky and spoiled ...He offers the option to pick you up from the hotel, which is great. The commute was not overwhelmingly long and was actually fun as Ibrahim masterfully filled it with discussion into medieval history and more. Very knowledgeable guy, I think he mentioned a history degree from Morocco...and living local in this area a long time, he has the answers to all your questions. In every village you are given enough time to enjoy the scenery, shop and relax at your own pace, he is very attentive and manages always to find you and pick you up at the final spot. All the villages are very picturesque in their own way, my favorite probably Tourrete sur Loup filled with views and sophisticated art every step of the way, same in St Paul, lots of art and very vibrant, and Gourdon more pristine . Grasse is beautiful, includes a guided sales tour of the Fragonar perfume center. Ibrahim added an extra viewing spot on the way, big waterfalls, which was very impressive, loved it!! A great day filled with so much beauty and learning so much, thank you Ibrahim!
Wonderful trip. Our tour guide was polite and informative. I enjoyed our day. Beautiful medieval cities.
We had a wonderful private tour with Mr. Abrahim. He always aimed to please and was always on time. He explained the history of the global villages and worked around our own pace. I highly recommend him.
Ibrahim - our tour guide - picked us on time at our hotel, with comfortable minibus. He took us to interesting high mountain villages, and told us a lot about the history of the region and places we are to visit. He is a great driver and excellent guide. Thank you!
Ibrahim is an excellent driver and tour guide. He is a thoughtful and pleasant person and this tour was exactly what we hoped for.
Great tour! Ibrahim was punctual and arrived in a bigger car as requested. He was super friendly. The tour was fantastic. Loved everything about it. Wished though I would have known that Sundays the stores in Grasse were closed and that you can not watch people work at Fragonard (Parfume) Next time I will make sure I will not book a tour on Sundays. My personal highlight was Gourdon and Tourette sur loup. So cute!
The trip was very well organized. Ibrahim was a very good driver and guide. There was only two of us and they did not canselled it
Ibrahim was a wonderful driver and guide, warm and welcoming and shared many details about the history and culture of the area. The ride was comfortable and we visited the villages of Grasse, Gourdon, Tourettes-sur-Loup, and St Paul de Vence. The drives were stunning and scenic with views of over the entire Nice area, small winding roads and waterfalls. Each stop was beautiful and fascinating. Ibrahim gave us some information and history, and then left plenty of time to explore on our own. It was an amazing day and my daughter said it was her favorite day of our entire trip. Highly recommend!
We spent a great day in these charming historic towns. Each has its own character, each has its own history, every one is beautiful. Visiting Grasse let us learn a lot about perfume production. The guide is a very friendly and accommodating guy.
Abraham is a warm and welcoming guide, explained much about the history of all the villages we visited, making this trip truly memorable. This won't be our last visit to Nice; we'll definitely join Abraham as our guide again next time.
The tour was truly 5-star plus from start to finish. Our driver, Abraham, was an exceptionally kind and courteous man, as well as highly knowledgeable. His insight into Nice and the surrounding villages really enhanced the experience, and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. We were fortunate to be the only couple on the tour, which made it feel like a private experience. The minivan accommodates up to 8 people, which would still make for a comfortable and friendly group if full. The day began with a visit to a perfume factory in Grasse, followed by a stop in the beautiful village. We then explored Gourdon, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence — all stunning French villages with plenty to see, along with lovely unique shops and amazing restaurants. The views are spectacular from each village, Abraham will stop along the journey for some spectacular photo opportunities. There was sufficient time in each location, and we especially enjoyed a longer stop in Tourrettes-sur-Loup, where we had lunch in the town square, sitting in the sunshine. Abraham also surprised us with an extra stop at a beautiful waterfall along the way, which was a lovely added touch. This was a full-day trip to four incredible villages, led by a genuinely warm and thoughtful guide. Abraham, thank you for such a wonderful day , we enjoyed every minute. We would highly recommend this tour. Yvonne & Tony from England
Bryan picked us up at our hotel! Our trip was well paced and our guide did an excellent job of giving us an historical overwiew of the region. The stops were well placed, the towns were stunning, each one better than the first. The Fragonard tour was delightful
It was a great day trip. Ibrahim, was friendly, attentive and gave lots of information about each place we visited. We had lots of time to explore each village. I would highly recommend this tour.
Great day to multiple villages with just enough time in each one. Everything was timely and well organized.
It was a great day trip. Our guide Ibrahim, was friendly, attentive and gave lots of information about each place we visited. He was on time to pick us up at the hotel and gave enough time to discover each village. I would recommend this tour.
Our tour guide, Ibrahim was very accommodating. We had to be back at port by 530p, a half hour earlier than when the tour was slated to end. He offered to pick us up 30 minutes earlier and adjust his schedule to accommodate our needs. The van was very comfortable and Ibrahim was the perfect gentleman and host. He took us to a beautiful waterfall, which was a bonus location that was not in the itinerary. He paid the entrance fee and treated us to coffee afterwards, an example of his graciousness and flexibility. If you are looking for a courteous guide and a private tour experience, this is a great option. If I had one area of opportunity to offer Ibrahim it would be to give more historical information for each site. He provided some as an introduction at the beginning of our tour and a little as we arrived at each location but we found ourselves asking him questions which he could answer 90% of the time. The other 10% of the time his answers were high level and he encouraged us to read more on our own about the historical figure or location. We weren’t expecting him to give us a complete anthology of any one person but a nice overview that ties in the significance of what we’re seeing would have been good. Again, it was not to the extent that I would not take this tour if I had to do it again. I just noticed another tour guide who was near us at several sites who gave much more info to his group wh I found interesting and went out of my way to eavesdrop to fill in the few blanks that Ibrahim omitted. If you are considering this tour, DO IT! You won’t be disappointed. THANK YOU, IBRAHIM FOR A SPECTACULAR JOURNEY TO THE MOST AMAZING MEDIIEVIL VILLAGES.
Flexible. Educational. Guide was fun and easy. Great opportunity for a day trip close to Nice. A lot of walking
We took this tour as husband and wife; Ibrahim was our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Took great care and even showed us Cascade du Saut du Loup which is not part of the tour on way to tourette. Definitely recommend!!!
This trip was a good opportunity to see nice villages in France that are not accessible by public transportation. Ibrahim was very nice too. This experience is not so much a guided tour, but rather a drop-off and roam around day.
Great experience With Ibrahim. His knowledge of local history is great. He was flexible during the trip and made it a great experience. Definitely recommend
We had a perfect day exploring the French villages with Ibrahim! He was such a pleasure to talk with, provided historic details about each stop and even made a new stop at a waterfall along the way. It was a great blend of guided tour and time alone to explore. We would highly recommend the tour with Ibrahim!
Excellent tour and driver was so knowledgeable, he explained us all the details about Tour and ensured that we are as comfortable as possible.
It was absolutely amazing! The overall itinerary was incredibly well-planned, giving us the perfect balance of history, culture, and breathtaking scenery. The villages we visited were charming, the castles were majestic, and the views throughout the journey were simply stunning! ✨ A huge part of what made the experience so special was our guide. He is kind, friendly, supportive, and has a great sense of humor, which made the trip not only enjoyable but truly memorable. He was also wonderfully adaptable, always attentive to our needs and making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Totally recommend ✨
We had an amazing time! Ibrahim was wonderful and gave time to explore each village. Overall, we had a great time...Thank you, Ibrahim!!
This was a well planned tour starting in Grasse at the Fragonard Perfume company. We toured Grasse with the pink umbrellas, De Gourdon and Tourettes-sur-loup where we had these amazing midevil villages to ourselves. We ended at St Paul de Vance, just an amazing place with the most amazing art!! Ibrahim is an excellent driver and offers pick up at your hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed the day, our guide and fellow guests.
Brian gave us a fantastic tour and we loved it immensely. He is very knowledgeable, shared just the right amount of information, and told good stories. We enjoyed his humor, his friendliness and warmth, and we can’t wait to do another tour with him. He was also very patient and accommodated our requests. We highly recommend him and this tour.
We'd like to thank Ibrahim from Byriviera Tours for the excellent and memorable experience. Ibrahim was very helpful, and tried to accommodate all our wishes, like staying extra time at certain locations for example. He's a good driver and knowledgeable guide. Our tour was very pleasant and educational. Oleg and Tatyana.
We had a lovely tour with ebrahim he is so knowledgable with historic information and we learnt a lot, we had generous amounts of time in Grasse, Gourdon, Tourette’s sur de loop and St Paul De Vance, we also had a bonus tour of Antibes, we thoroughly enjoyed and so glad we booked him as I’m sure if we weren’t with the other tours we would not have anywhere near the freedom and time given in each area as it’s perfect for small groups, thank you for a 10/10 day!!
Awesome day experiencing the areas Medieval villages in Nice in the French Riviera France. He was full of knowledge! I definitely recommend this tour.
amazing trip. Tour guide was great, locations were beautiful, flexible with timing. highly recommend this tour.
Fantastic, full day tour of Grasse, Gourdon, Tourettes sur loup etc. Ibrahim was a brilliant guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the area and its history. He was so friendly and courteous and made the day extra special. The villages are amazing and full of history and photo opportunities. Plenty of places to stop of for a meal a drink or ice cream. Would definitely recommend.
This was a very good day trip to see all medieval villages. We were picked up on time from our hotel and dropped off on time as well. It was an amazing activity. The tour guide didn’t know English too well, so communication was difficult to understand about the history of the villages. But we managed.
Beauty old villages with such a rich history. The road between the villlages at times was breath taking. I highly recommend this tour.
We loved all the villages visited, and greatly appreciated the visit to Fragonard. Our driver and guide Ibrahim is very kind, and speaks several languages including French and English. He gives a lot of very interesting historical information all day long. I recommend this tour!
A good experience. Brahim is a very good guide who does his utmost to ensure that we are happy. A very good day.
A big thank you to Ibrahim, our expedition guide for this memorable and most pleasant day. Ibrahim knows how to share his historical knowledge of the region with us. Anne and Benoit Quebec, Canada
Great visit with a courteous guide and good explanations. No pressure to visit, but expect to walk!
An amazing experience. IBRAHIM is a great guide and driver. The tour shows you the interior of Provence by touring medieval villages. And if you like art, you will see endless galleries with all kinds of interesting works. I would not hesitate to do another tour prepared by Ibrahim.
Wir haben Dank der exzellenten Führung von Ibrahim eine ganz tolle Tagestour erleben können. Unsere Erwartungen wurden deutlich übertroffen. Die Eindrücke während der Tagestour waren Highlights während unserer Frankreich Reise.
