St Paul de Vence with the Icelanders - Lovely half day trip with Alex. We had a wonderful visit to St Paul de Vence, before making our way to a family run vineyard. The wine tasting was delicious and the presenter was very informative and friendly.

Amazing unknown area of the greater Nice region - The trip to the small town castle and the winery after was fantastic! We booked this on a whim but it turned out to be an amazing experience. Great views from the castle walls. The winery offered a new style of wine making I had never heard of. Aging wine in the sun! Sounds counterintuitive but the results are spectacular. I would highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommend! - Our tour guide was Alex. He shared a lot of knowledge about the areas we passed through, as well as the destination and winery. St Paul de Vence is one of my favorite medieval cities, filled with art galleries and once home to many renowned artists. The wine tasting was also fun - we tried whites, roses and reds from the vineyard, and they explained the process and history of winemaking in Provence! Really a fun time, thank you to Alex and to Lucca!

A very pleasant morning - This was a fantastic tour. Unfortunately, we were unable to go to Saint Paul de Vence as it had been closed to the general public because of a United Nations event going on in Nice, so David (our excellent guide) and his colleagues had come up with a very comparable plan B - a visit to Tourrettes-sur-Loup. This was a wonderful, charming little place with hardly any tourists. We then went onto the wine tasting which was interesting to say the least, especially for people like me know don't know the first thing about wine! Then back towards Nice in time for lunch. David was excellent - exceptionally knowledgeable and his time spent explaining things during the journey made the experience all the better. Thank you David - I'm so glad I did this and had you as our guide!

Substitute Tour - Tour guide, Thierry was great. Very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, due to dignitary's being in and taking over the town, we were not able to take the tour that we paid for. Upon getting picked up we were told we would be going somewhere else. A little advanced notice would've been nice so we could've decided to change plans. What we did was nice but I wanted to go to where we chose for a reason and did not get to I do feel we are due a partial refund and will pursue that. In then end it was a good tour thanks to Thierry.

Nice wine experience - The wine experience itself was informative and we were able to try several wines. They were very pleasant. The driver was late and did not have much to say. He drove extremely fast around very curvy roads. Most of our small group were totally nauseated by the time we got to our location. That’s why I’m only giving it 3 stars.

Just okay - This experience was okay. It would have been better if the winery was disclosed before booking. Also, there wasn’t a tour of the winery. We were explained the wine making process while seated during the four tastings.
