Great trip - This was an amazing trip! Thierry has been amazing with us, showing us some little gems that were not on the list but worth it. He's been very sociable, fun and very knowledgeable. I totally recommend this trip. Side note: Cannes is very much overrated and frankly does not need to be included in the trip (it was our group's agreement) but thankfully it wasn't that much time spent there.

Very nice Povence tour - excellent tour, we were picked up at our hotel on time, we drove first to Canne with a short stop in front of the convention center, then we headed to the provence area, first stop was in Grass with very nice tour of the perfume factory, then headed to Gourdon, a small town on the mountain, we had time to walk around, explore the small streets, shops and had lunch on our own, then we headed to Tourette de Loop another small town then our last stop was St Paul de vence, before going back to Nice It was a long day (about 8 hours) but was amazing tour to spend a day away from the city and explore the villages, our Guide Thierry was excellent, the tour is highly recommended

Our tour guide was amazing! - What an amazing experience! Not only did we see Cannes, Grasse and Gourdon...but, we had the most wonderful tour guide. David was prompt, professional, funny and so very knowledgeable. It was a delight to learn about each area! This was a first visit to France and our first tour...David guided us to the most delightful restaurant for lunch with incredible views. It was such a fantastic way to begin our vacation. Thank you, David! You are a gem!

David deserves a raise!! - We had the most wonderful tour with David. We got lucky as we were the only ones and David was so personable and knowledgeable. He accommodated us so well and we ended up having the best time touring the countryside of Provence. Could not recommend him enough!!

Good tour to see towns near Nice - Martina was a careful driver and provided some information of places we were visiting. It would have been nice to have a little more time in Grasse. We were lucky that one couple had canceled and we were only 4 in our minivan so plenty of space. A good overview of the scenery and small towns near Nice. Not too much travel time and a pleasant tour and driver.

Nice tour - It was a lovely day touring all the places we wanted to go but without a vehicle it would have been difficult. Yvonn (if I spell her name correctly) was great, attentive and professional. Take note that in this tour your guide explains things in the car then drop you off let you wander by yourself at each spot. I don’t mind that but I wished we could’ve had more time in Cannes. Otherwise everything else was great.

They cancelled tour last minute - Tour Azure rang me 10pm, night before the tour to say they have cancelled the tour. Do not recommend Tour Azure, unreliable. I now have to wait for my refund
