Hello, My name is Fabrizio. As I am also French, many members of my family call me Fabrice (or Brice), and I am happy with either. I was born in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, in the French Alps, to a French mother and an Italian father. I attended a French school until the age of nine, when my parents decided to move from the mountains to the sea. We settled in Ventimiglia, on the Italian Riviera, just 30 minutes from Monaco and the French Riviera. I continued my education there until I was 18, when I obtained my A-levels. Eager to improve my English, I moved to Nice to study foreign languages at university. To further develop my language skills, I later went to London—this is where I began working in tourism and discovered a true passion for the field. I genuinely enjoy taking care of people and always strive to provide excellent service. It’s a daily challenge that motivates me. I also spent a year working in Florida, where I further refined my service skills. I started organizing and leading tours across Provence, the french and the Italian Riviera in 2007—something I truly love. Whether you are traveling individually or in a larger group, please feel free to contact me for tailored experiences based on your needs. I look forward to welcoming small groups of up to 3 adults for the best comfort* and showing you just how vibrant and unique life is in this truly Mediterranean city, which was European Capital of Culture in 2013. Since 2020, I live in the heart of Provence (between Aix-en-Provence and Grasse) close to the countryside Brangelina, Clooney and Lucas bought their homes here, It is a cooler live not being far from Marseille as also Toulon and Nice. That is how I will be open for multi-day tours packages and other Taylor-made services if organized in advance. Before asking "tailor-made services" including external services please consider the one I prepared are adapted to spend very enjoyable and safe journeys. I look forward to welcoming you soon and taking great care of you. Thank you for your interest in discovering and deepening your knowledge of our colorful region. Please note that I am not a licensed guide and therefore cannot guide inside historical monuments. I work as a driver-guide, offering informative and engaging presentations about local life, traditions, history, art, and gastronomy across the Riviera, Provence, France, the mediterranean cultures and heritage. Access to cruise port areas for independent guides may sometimes be restricted. In such cases, a short walk may be required to exit the docks, as these areas are often managed by cruise companies that prioritize their own excursion services. I have a degree as an ambulance driver (could adapt your services if you have a foldable wheelchair) and my professional licence to transport passengers from France is EVTC083260028. Charges include: the use and the services of the TBL app, taxes, salary costs, the renting of a hybrid vehicle adapted for small private tours, professional insurances, petrol, tolls and parkings. Wine tastings, entrance to monuments, restaurants/snacks and drinks are not included and will have to be booked in advance when possible.

Brice was amazing. He was the most enthusiastic guide we've ever had. He was incredibly energetic and full of positive energy. He made us all want to move to Marseilles! He customized a tour perfect for our time frame and desire and took us to one of the most beautiful wineries we have seen. He also made time for Pont du Gard, Avignon, and Aix en Provence! Our only regret...

Thank you Regina, in case I will miss you so much do not hesitate to return to Provence, I will introduce you Silvio, my colleague who is also a great person and he always do his best for the people to have a memorable day; I look forward to see you soon all Regina, Kind regards Brice
Good tour. Highly talkative guide. Spend more time in Cassis. If visiting Cezanne's Atelier, spend the time in the garden (free) rather than paying more than 5 Euro to see the unmemorable single room upstairs.
