Our driver and guide Ben went out of his way to make our tour fantastic. We saw Grasse, perfume factory, lavender fields, waterfalls, beautiful views for family pictures, Gormand and a tour/wine tasting at a vineyard. It was a great day - highly recommend.

We had a very comfortable drive around the countryside. Just wish the guide spoke more to the group to enhance our understanding of the region. If he did so, he would definitely need a mic to help project to the back of the van.

Irene was our tour guide and she was amazing. So knowledgeable and personable. We learned so much about the region from her. The places we visited were all stunning, especially the small village of Gourdon. The perfumery was a hit with my adult daughters and my husband even said he learned so much. The wine tasting is quick but beatiful winery and 3 great wines we tasted. Please do be aware that the road up the mountain in the morning is VERY windy and narrow. People with motion/car sickness will have a rough time as did a child in our group. It's a tough tour for small children in general. Highly Recommend for adults!

Irene was a gracious and thorough host. While the start was a little rough, we stayed in Nice and were picked up at our Hotel 40 minutes earlier than first agreed because we had to pick another couple up in Cannes, 90 minute drive that time of day with traffic, which was brutal. Once we traveled to Grasse, arriving 2.5+ hours after leaving our hotel though it is only ~45 minutes away the tour was excellent. See the perfume factory and learning some of the history was fascinating. The visit to Gourdon and the views spectacular and ending with a lovely lunch in the medieval town of Valbonne. We thoroughly enjoyed our day other than the rough start.

Our guide, Zara, was absolutely fabulous! So funny, personable, and navigated the steep/curvy mountain roads with ease! We really enjoyed seeing all the little towns and getting to know their history. We wish we had more time to spend exploring! In fact, you should consider cutting the wine tasting and looking around more small mountain towns. Excellent tour!

This was AMAZING. the tour guide was very friendly and it was one of the best views of my life in the French Alps. Perfumery was beautiful and had great souvenirs. Highly recommend for the price, especially because hotel pickup was included!

We had an incredible day with Zara! Not only was she an incredible and knowledgeable tour guide, she was very accommodating for our 8 month old son. The parfumerie was very interesting and enjoyable and we really loved the winery - we sampled 6 wines with a charcuterie board + a tour of the facility. But the highlight for us was the beautiful journey through the countryside and the stops at the villages - picturesque! 10/10 recommend!

What a wonderful experience. We were recommended by our Hotel, Canopy by Hilton in Cannes. Our driver George was prompt and just a joy to be with. He anticipated our needs and was so knowledgeable about the area. We did the country tour with wine tasting. A full day tour with just enough sightseeing finishing with a local wine tour and tasting. The views and lunch were the highlight in the town of Groupon. The views are spectacular and the food was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour company and you must ask for George.
