We would not hesitate and in fact would prefer to use Guy on our future trips to the southern region of France. I have nothing but positive thoughts of our many hours with Guy.

Overview of your Nice tour
Grasse: The Perfume Capital Start in Grasse’s Old Town, a maze of ochre facades and ancient fountains. Visit the Fragonard Perfumery to discover the historic alchemy behind the world’s most famous scents. Gourdon: The Eagle’s Nest Perched 760m high, this village offers a "balcony" view of the Mediterranean. Enjoy regional specialties at La Taverne Provençale, where the terrace feels suspended over the Loup Valley. Explore its 9th-century castle and artisan shops carved into the rock. Seasonal Lavender (July–Sept) Experience the "Purple Symphony" as high plateaus transform into fragrant, endless waves of blooming lavender—the iconic scent of a French summer. Saint-Paul-de-Vence: Art & Romance End in this legendary fortified village. Walk the ramparts that inspired Chagall and Matisse, then wander through cobblestone streets filled with contemporary galleries as the golden hour glows.

Guy was incredible...the Riviera countryside should not be missed. Our guide being from the area could not have been a better choice to guide us around this beautiful area. He knew many of the locals in the various villages we visited, making for a special encounter. Choosing Guy as your guide will not be a disappointment.
Amy A.United States
After 9 nights in France our group all agreed that our day with Guy was our favorite day! The countryside offered gorgeous views. Guy is full of knowledge sharing interesting historical and cultural facts. The highlight was when he arranged a beautiful provincial outdoor lunch for us. I'll always remember this perfect day in the French countryside.
Laurie F.United States
What a beautiful day we enjoyed- family of 5! After days of crowded cities, a chance to see some quaint villages, quiet, scenic and so cute! A town full of a covering of pink umbrellas, ancient walls, and a fabulous lunch in Gordoun, topped off by lavender fields and ice cream- just such a wonderful experience with Guy- great vehicle, driver, guide!!
Thomas D.United States
My daughter and her friend were very happy with the tour and especially Guy's presentation.
Ana Maria B.United States
Guy is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining. Even though we had a mixup with the port we were docked at (through no fault of his or us), he graciously picked us up with a minor delay. He is a wonderful driver and demonstrated it on our drive to see the Hilltop villages of the French Riviera. Our walking with him were full of anecdotes and great information. Lunch at a restaurant in Gordoun was totally delightful. He allowed us time for a little shopping and we had a perfect day!
