Ingrid is amazing, I recommend to book her for all your tours in this area!!! She is a pure joy, informative and knowledgeable!!! My family of 4 enjoyed it and she also recommended other areas to visit such as gourdon which is a small town on top of a hill, the drive up was spectacular alone, and the town and small shops a real delight!! Worth the drive. Thank you Ingrid!!

This was a wonderful tour and our guide was very nice and informative. In addition to touring Nice, we thoroughly enjoyed Antibes and the two other places we went. We had five on our tour and we fit very comfortably in her Mercedes van. She speaks English, French, and German (and possibly more).

Contacted Ingrid Schmucker privately 2 months before our 4 nights in Nice about a private tour for 2 couples. Her many responses were timely and she offered great advice. We requested seeing Monaco at night so she adjusted our tour to visit the charming town of Eze in the late afternoon with beautiful panoramic views from the Hotel Chateaux of the Golden Goat.
Then we spent a magical evening with Ingrid in Monaco enjoying a lovely meal and engaging stories of the Grimaldi royals and Grace Kelly’s life. She took us to visit the fabulous Monte Carlo Casino and it’s ’ opulent surroundings describing all that history. She also drove us to see many gorgeous lighted views of all of Monaco including part of the race course for LeMans. Ingrid was so knowledgeable, a great guide and storyteller who made us feel like old friends. BEST GUIDE EVER! WOULD BOOK HER TOURS ANYTIME!

We contacted Ingrid for her Eastern Riviera tour several months ago. She was very prompt in her response and contacts. She picked us up at our hotel in Nice and was one of the best guides we have ever met. She was charming, helpful and knowledgeable. We were in her comfortable vehicle and went to spectacular vistas and wonderful villages. She had picked a great place with a fantastic view for lunch. When we mentioned sweets afterward she took us to a bakery named as one the best in the area. She explained the history of the area very well; we loved the entire tour.

Her total devotion was to our enjoyment. She suggested places to go and seemed to intuit our interests. I would say that if you ever have a chance to hire Ingrid and do not, you are a fool.

Ingrid was such a lovely tour guide. Excellent communication. Picked us up on time and really let us dictate the course of our day. We started with a nice drive up to Ezé, where she gave us information that only an insider would know. We enjoyed our time there followed by Antibes. We went to the market in Antibes and enjoyed a lovely lunch in a secret cellar that only a local would know about. She was very generous about offering to take pictures. We felt like we were traveling with a friend. I would highly recommend this tour and getting the chance to spend the day with such a wonderful person!

My family of four - husband, kids 11 and 14 took this magical tour with Ingrid. She picked us up outside our flat at 8:00AM and the adventure began from there. We started with a trip to Eze and arrived before it was too warm or crowded. She took us through all the back alleys and told us stories of Eze and the location in general. We then went to Antibes and walked around meeting shop owners and winding around the town. We ate lunch at an amazing restaurant that all four of us loved. Ingrid continued throughout the day telling us stories of the history of each location - both old and modern. We ended the day at St. Paul’s village and walked through shops and galleries. Not only is Ingrid knowledgeable about the history and surroundings, she is like hanging out with an old friend. Very comfortable and laid back the whole day. I would recommend her to anyone looking to understand about the culture, history and vibe surrounding Nice. Plus, she is very familiar with all the restaurants and shopping around Nice for recommendations. Five ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was the 2nd time we have booked an all day tour with Ingrid. We toured with her 7 years ago and knew if we went back to the South of France we had to go on tour with Ingrid again. She picked us up at our hotel at Cap du Ferrat. Her van is spacious and luxurious.

We started in Antibes- went to the famous market- bought cheeses, breads and treats for a mountain top picnic we had during the tour. Ingrid brings a tablecloth and chairs and had a delicious dessert for my husband's birthday. It was such a special time!

We went to many villages in the French Riveria and stopped for cafe breaks. She is so engaging it was delightful just being with her.

The scenery will take your breath away!

Ingrid is the ABSOULUTE BEST GUIDE! She is charming, knowledgeable, fun, and a beautiful person.

This will be a highlight of your trip. Be sure to book Ingrid in advance as she is in demand. What other guides has all EXCELLENT reviews on Trip Advisor. There must be a reason for that.

Thank you Ingrid, my dear for the wonderful tour you gave us! Love and miss you!

Ingrid picked us up at our hotel in Villefranche-Sur-Mer right after breakfast and took us around to Eze, Antibes, and St. Paul de Vence over the course of a day. She was a fantastic guide - both knowledgeable and personable. She helped us avoid crowds and tourist traps at our destinations and shared a wealth of knowledge on the area while we drove. We were able to accomplish more in one day with her than we could have in several on our own. Our excursion with her has been a highlight of our trip. Thank you, Ingrid!

Ingrid Schmucker is the best tour guide ever! We took 3 separate tours with her in the French Riviera and she was dependable, personable, very knowledgeable about the history and culture, the cuisine, and she knows all the hidden gems. Her driving was amazing and she knows all the amazing view points. She was very attentive to our interests, stamina level, and mobility and dietetic issues. She offered suggestions and options which turned out to be excellent! She gave suggestions on restaurants, and various means of transportation. She was one of the best Tour Guides we have ever experienced! She was very flexible, and an overall terrific guide expert. We strongly recommend her to anyone visiting the French Riviera!
