Hello dear visitor and welcome to Nice and the French Riviera! My name is Yvonne and I am a Munich-born German. I always loved French culture and traditions and I studied them before deciding to move abroad 28 years ago. First to Turkey on the Aegean Coast for a short stay, and then to France on the French Riviera, where I worked at Nice International Airport in the ground handling department and where I had to deal with many guests and cultures. I really liked this human dimension and I always wanted to help travellers enjoy their stay in the region by giving them local tips and advice. Knowing that, I decided to change my professional direction and went back to study Art (especially 19th-century art) and Architecture at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis to become a licensed tour guide, leading in German, French and English. Moving to the French Riviera, I immediately fell in love with this region, with its golden light, the bold colours of its vegetation and picturesque villages filled with history and art; my favourite are Cannes, Antibes, Aix-en-Provence, Monaco and Saint-Paul de Vence, where I have been guiding for the last few years, always trying to create tailor-made itineraries off the beaten path with unique details and interesting anecdotes. My job is my true passion and I love to share it with my guests and to rediscover all these magnificent sites through their eyes again every single day. I am specialized in single-day or multiple-day private tours stretching from the French Riviera both to Provence and the Italian Riviera with all their gems but other options of tour durations can be organized. My every-day-leitmotiv: Share, Laugh and Enjoy. I would love to meet you and show you around lovely Nice and French Riviera! -Certified National Tour Guide by the University of Nice. -Carte de Guide Conférencier N° 14/06/021 P delivered by the French Ministry of Tourism and Culture. -Vehicle insurance: Assurance RC personnes transportées MFA 58 Rue Arson 06300 Nice -Transport Licence (professional driver's licence): EVTC006140236 Being a National Licenced Tour Guide & Lecturer, I have no restrictions.

From the height of its walls the views are beautiful.

What an absolute pleasure to spend the day with Yvonne exploring these fascinating villages/towns. Most impressed by St Paul de Vence with it's beautiful galleries. She was informative and flexible. Highly recommend.
Yvonne is a wonderful guide! She was flexible with our tight schedule and very knowledgeable about the area. Her timing to try and avoid crowds and make the most of our short stay memorable was impeccable. We will always book her in the future.
Excellent tour and guide. Highly recommended.
We had a wonderful time on this tour. The vehicle was very comfortable and our guide Yvonne was very knowledgeable about the history and sites in the area. I would definitely recommend her and use her again if we return to the area. We spent 3 days with her and was very pleased.
Yvonne was a wealth of information and we learned so much about the area from her. She is very flexible and What a pleasure to be with. We had a wonderful day and looking forward to future tours with her. Oh it is
-Drive along the coastal road towards Antibes and stop in this ancient greek city to discover either the charming pedestrian area, the local market (except on Mondays), the marina, the remparts or the Picasso museum. -Continue on the coastal road and arrive in Cannes. Have a walk on the Croisette, the famous beach front and try to soak the busy atmosphere of the Film Festival city. -The old village of Saint Paul de Vence on a hilly location would be a nice spot for a quick snack. During a relaxing walk through the picturesque village you will appreciate the charm of its stone architecture and its famous art galleries. Let yourself be guided by the charm of the craft workshops where crafts people work, often leaving the doors of their workshops open for all to see. Of course, the itinerary could be amended according to your wishes and interests.
