Enchanting day on the French Riviera - This was a really nice tour of quite a few villages. I felt like I was catapulted back in time to a fairytale I've read about in books as a child, these towns are so lovely and enchanting. Plenty of free time in each spot to walk around and explore on your own and a funny guide, Mike made the day a really enjoyable one. It's hard to pick which town was our favorite we loved them all so much.

Great tour guide Rafael. ... - Great tour guide Rafael. Great itinerary with enough time in each spot. Not rushed like some other tours. Communication with office/tour operator though was difficult and frustrating. They need to work on that.

Beautiful Villages in Provence - We totally enjoyed our day in the villages we toured in Provence. The medieval villages and beautiful views from mountain tops were great. We had just enough time to explore each place, shop, and eat lunch. I would recommend this experience. The only reason I gave the tour a 4(instead of a 5) is because I would have enjoyed hearing a little more history and background to each place. Our guide was very nice, but she dropped us off places and shared very little. She was more a chauffeur than a guide. Also, the 9 passenger van ( driver plus 8 guests) that required two people to sit in the front bench seat. We had 6 people in their 70’s, two with disabilities ( broken arm and walking challenges). Luckily we had 2 people in our group that were young and on the small side who volunteered to sit in the front.
Still, it was a lovely day in a beautiful place.

Lovely day - I would have liked a little information on each place we visited. The road / drive was rough. Most of us were a little queasy

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!
