Bonjour et bienvenue à tous, Being a native from Villefranche-sur-Mer, located between Nice and Monaco and facing the world-famous Cap Ferrat, I grew up in the heart of the French Riviera. I loved going to see the festivities of the Nice Carnaval in February like the Menton lemon festival, the Monaco palace with its guards and its Cousteau Oceanic Museum, the luxury cars of Monte-Carlo were something special for me because my father was a professional sports car mechanic who participated in the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix for more than 10 years. We were also lucky in May to enjoy the Cannes Film Festival and meet film actors and actresses or French televisions celebrities walking on the Boulevard de La Croisette. Every time I mention my first job outside of Nice, outside of France, I always have the same answer full of surprises " how did you end up in Idaho...?" Well, back in Feb. 2002, during the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, I had the great opportunity to work for two years at the famous Sun Valley Ski Resort as a restaurant and banquet manager. I enjoyed every opportunity to visit most of the West Side and have fond memories of it because it was so different from my hometown French Riviera and also another exclusive, "rich and famous" place to experience. Back in Nice, back in school to be certified as a licensed lecturer-guide, i now take every opportunity to show my clients my area as a local and make sure they feel at home, throughout their stay. For 18 years I am specialized in providing private tours on the French Riviera & in Provence, which means that all my tours can be tailor-made at your convenience, from the great classic for first-time visitors to unique experiences, including adapted for children, my programs can also be customized as multi-day tours so that you to enjoy, discover and understand South of France today and yesterday, its history, its heritage and monuments, its gastronomy and its art of living. Looking forward to meeting you soon… State-certified tour guide from the University of Nice and the Ministry of Tourism, State-certified in Art and History, I am authorized to guide you through old towns, museums, churches, cathedrals and historical sites and monuments.

Fabulous Tour! Gregory promptly picked us up from cruise port and brought us on a day full adventure of the French Riviera. WOW! The French Riviera did not disappoint! Such fabulous history and magical views along the journey. Gregory was kind, engaging, very knowledgable and shared many interesting locations and facts along the way. We also stopped briefly along the way for an impromptu historical perfume factory tour which was very fun and interesting…we even bought a perfume to remember this special French Riviera experience.

We spent almost a month in Europe and this was by far the best tour we had. The itinerary was fabulous and Gregory was amazing. We would not hesitate to recommend this tour with Gregory!

Gregory fit a lot into our one day driving tour on the French Riviera. He was unfailing polite and fun to be with and had an incredible amount of knowledge about the area which he shared without being pedantic. My wife and I started in Nice and then made it from Antibes to Monaco hitting several historic villages on the way. He also always made us feel safe in the car whether driving on the corniches following James Bond or the road course in Monaco. This is a great way to spend your day.

Gregory was fabulous - he is friendly, knowledgeable and helped with adjusting our tour at the last minute to accommodate some physical difficulties. He also helped us by arranging our airport transfer later that week.

Spending 8 hours with Gregory yesterday in Monte Carlo , Nice and St Paul de Vence and Casino--was the highlight of our cruise ---besides being the first class, very knowledgeable, professional gentlemen who knew the area and showed us all the beautiful sites, in a relaxed, no rush way. Our walks thru the old towns, his historic input and expertise--exceeded our expectations. He's a must for your guide! Don and Jan Arizona.
