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.

In this Full day private tour, discover the hidden gems of the French Riviera
Overview of your Nice tour
The French Riviera is, besides magnificent landscapes and villages, also the land of the beautiful people and a playground for the rich, the famous and lucky. Once you have discovered all the "must-see-sights", have a look beyond the camera lens and find the rarely seen side of the glamorous Côte d'Azur such as hidden gardens, strange villas and extravagant architecture. The French Riviera has also fascinated painters, poets and artists who have been inspired by the beautiful landscapes and luminous light of the Mediterranean. Just walk in their "footsteps" and try to get in touch with the artists' soul. Don't finish a day without walking on the picturesque food-markets and maybe prepare your own lunch picnic. Try local specialities such as Socca (chick peas pancake), Tapenade (Olive cream), dry tomatoes, Pissaladière (onion cake) and a glass of Rosé wine. If you still like to learn more about the regional vineyards, the tour can be ended by an unforgettable wine-tasting in the hills nearby Nice
