Great day out - We had a great day with Lawrence touring 4 medieval villages near Nice. Communication and pickups were smooth and we were delivered back right to our door. The scenery and history were spectacular and a good amount of free time was allowed for us to have breaks and shop, eat or drink. The commentary was most informative and the guides very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the local area.

A Tour to Remember - If you want to see and experience different areas in the South of France, French Riviera, and a glimpse of the Alps, this trip provides all that and more. The Tour Guide was top notch, knowing the area and history. Highly recommended and worth the money.

A perfect day exploring ancient villages - Our tour was guided by Laurent, a very friendly, polite, and knowledgeable person motivated by enthusiasm and passion to show the best France has to offer to those lucky enough to book one of her tours Laurent is a true mine of information, and was truly interested in everyone who participated in the activity. She did her utmost to make the four medieval villages we visit come alive. A truly memorable experience @

Brilliant day out - well worth it! - I would thoroughly recommend this trip! Our guide, Nabil, was very knowledgeable about the local history and was an excellent communicator meaning the day ran perfectly smoothly. Doing this tour allowed us to see many places that we otherwise would not have been able to (due to location and price of travelling to these places by car on separate days). A brilliant day!

Beautiful day exploring - My fiancé and I do a lot of traveling together and have gone on a lot of day tours. However, this tour was definitely a top five for us. It was a delightful day viewing each of the medieval cities. We were especially impressed by how organized this trip was from start to finish. Nebil was kind, passionate, organized and very knowledgeable. Additionally, I loved that we were given some free time to explore on our own after discussing the historical background of each stop. We are so grateful we found this tour and were able to see each of these sites! I highly recommend this tour to anyone. It is something that should be a part of your itinerary without a doubt. This is a memory that will last a lifetime - thank you! :)

- This is a must-do if you are spending a few days in the area of Nice. Nabil our guide was so enthusiastic and excited about the area and was a great teacher. Although a full 8 hour day, I never felt like we spent any time at all in the van as there is sufficient free time at the four different stops. This tour is the easiest way to see the beautiful parts of this region you simply cannot gain an understanding of by sticking to the coast and major cities. There will be plenty of great spots for pictures and shops to get food and souvenirs.

An educational adventure - Nabil was a superb guide, navigating the busy and often chaotic roads while giving a history lecture was impressive to say the least! Before we visited each village we heard about the history of the location and it's people, from founding Greeks to Nazi occupation during WW2. The villages themselves were stunning and rather than being led around on a rope Nabil gave us a solid hour at each to explore at our own pace, which added to the sense of adventure! Overall a wonderful experience, and highly recommended for those who don't want to just see, but also learn.

Wonderful amazing and unforgettable tour! - This tour was absolutely amazing and unforgettable! Exploring the medieval villages of France felt like stepping back in time—each stop was rich in history, charm, and stunning beauty. The experience was not only visually breathtaking but also incredibly educational, thanks to the knowledgeable guide who brought each village to life with fascinating stories and insights. What made it even more special was the group of people I shared this journey with—such a friendly, warm, and engaging group! It truly felt like traveling with friends by the end. The combination of incredible scenery, enriching knowledge, and wonderful company made this tour a highlight of my trip and a memory I’ll cherish. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting Nice who wants to discover the authentic heart of the region!
