Superb - Parfait was a spectacular guide! Very interesting explanation of the wine processing and the tasting was very enjoyable. Our time in St.Paul du Vence was shortened due to rain but it remains a beautiful 14th century village full of galleries and shops to explore!

Half Day Tour from Nice - We were driven to St. Paul de Vence, and had an hour to look around. It would have been nice to have had some tips about navigating the town. A map would have been helpful. It is a beautiful town and one hour is no-where near enough time to explore. Our wine taste was nice, but we were combined with another larger tour group which wasn't as described or expected. Our driver was very nice and polite and answered a lot of questions in the car.

Not satisfied - Overall experience was below the expectation. In St Paul de Vince we had only 30 min. It's not enough time to even walk around 2 streets. I am not sure what is the point of brining people there for a such short amount of time. The driver was rushing to get to the winery, because they gather many different tours there at the same time. Wine tasing wasn't as good as expected.
Was funny to see a tiny piece of chocolate that they offer to taste with one of the RED wine type.

Not enough time - Views were amazing, but we didn’t have enough time (by the time we got there, we only had 30 minutes) to explore St. Paul and overall tour felt very rushed.

Essentially paying for a glass of wine and a taxi - My partner and I were super disappointed by how much of a let down this Wine tour was. Unfortunately for every positive, there was a negative…
TRAVEL: Positive - they pick you up from your hotel which is super convincing.
Negative - because of this (and dependant on the group size) they can run behind. In our case, we were picked up a whole 35 mins late. Which then leads to…
THE FIRST STOP: Positive - you get to visit this gorgeous village and explore its streets.
Negative - because we were already running so far being, instead of the advertised 1 hour allocation for this, we got 25 mins so we hardly got to see anything.
THE WINE: Positive - absolutely delicious wine.
Negative - instead of the advertised 6 wines, we only got 5 and they literally provide you with a thimble size tester! By the end of it, we probably only had 1 full glass each.
And finally the biggest one…
THE ORGANISATION: Positive - the lady running the tasting was super informative and passionate about what she was doing.
Negative - she was completely let down by whoever organises these tour groups. It says that each group should consist of 24 people. Well, ours consisted of 38 as they had accidentally over booked and there were hardly any seats for everyone. And because of how late some groups were, half the people missed out on the introduction and first wine simply because their driver was late.
Legitimately, the only reason this review is getting 2 stars and now 1 is because of our driver, Mtchedliani Daviti. He was so friendly and enthusiastic about what he was doing he practically saved this review from getting a 1.
Do yourself a favour and opt for another tour.

Avoid this tourist trap! - It started off great with a friendly driver who was on time. We got a one hour stop in beautiful St Paul de Vence before we went to the wine tasting. To our surprise there were 30 Americans cramped together like kettle around one table and a really small area that didn’t have enough chairs for everyone. It was the most chaotic place with leftovers (old food, plates and dirty glasses) that filled another table. There was only one person in charge of the wine tasting - a stressed Chinese guy who had to pour wine to all the 33 tourists that were stewed together. He did not seem comfortable with the situation and only gave a brief and extremely superficial information about each wine. Each glass he poured only gave us two small sips, so it was actually kind of difficult to really taste the wine. It was the most impersonal and quick wine tasting I’ve ever experienced. I felt like their main focus was earning as much money as possible during a limited period of time. A complete waste of time and money! Moreover, the toilet was messy and disgusting, but the people in charge did not seem to care even if we told them about it. I would not recommend this trip!

DO NOT BOOK! - Driver never showed up, contact number never picked up my call. Viator refuses to issue a refund. I’m lost for words.

Very disappointed
