Great tour of the beautiful inland villages of Provence. - Great tour with a fantastic choice of sites to see. Really enjoyed the charm of all the medieval fortress villages such as Grasse, Tourette sur Loup, St. Paul de Vence and several more, with some surprising extra sites along the way that Rym, our guide, stopped at. Rym is a local and has extensive knowledge of the history of the region that she shared with us which it made the excursion very enriching. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like a departure from the seaside towns.

Medieval villages suburb Nice - The villages are beautiful. We gave 4 out of 5 for the villages. Although we chose a visit in French, our guide barely spoke French

Amazing tour with perfect... - Amazing tour with perfect lengths of stay in each location/village. Never felt any of the stops were too long or too short!
Waterfall is so much more beautiful in real life than in photos!
Only negative would be the size of the van was not spacious enough for the length of the day trip and the aircon wasn’t strong enough, even after someone asked to turn it up! So made for quite an uncomfortable and sweaty journey - especially later in the afternoon!

Cancelled your - This tour was cancelled much to my disappointment. I received less than 25 hours notice and was badgered into making a choice not of my choosing. Also I was not given a full refund by Bingo Tours who withheld 10 Eutis citing your fee which I had to pay. The person on the phone was quite pushy and said that I wanted to go to Cannes when that was never on my agenda. Very upsetting and very disappointing.
