Hi, Fouad speaking, My friends know that the best place to look for me is at the bottom of the sea or the top of a mountain: I have a lifelong passion for nature and outdoor sports that brought me to the French Riviera after 12 years in Paris. I gave up my desk job there, working as a consultant for Unesco's legal affairs department, to share my sense of adventure and love of this spectacular region with visitors from around the world. I have been working as a professional tour guide since 2006 and created my own company in 2014. Familiar with all the secret trails and little-known spots in the area, I am happy to lead you off the tourist path and arrange outdoor activities for sports and adventure enthusiasts or families with children, as well as gastronomic and wine excursions. Of course, we can also visit the well-known highlights of the region, like St-Paul de Vence, Eze, St-Jean Cap Ferrat, Monaco, Menton and St-Tropez. As we emerge from the global pandemic, travelers are seeking to connect with nature and get to know places more deeply, going beyond the urban centers and crowded tourist sites. This validates the approach I have always favored, so please join me on an adventure that I will create just for you! To keep the experience personal, all my tours and private and customized. You can expect maximum comfort in my Mercedes seven-seat van. If you are a curious traveller, if you love nature, art and local gastronomy, open to the unexpected. . . we will have a lot of fun together! - Professional license for public transportation EVTC006140032 - Professional driver card - Professional car insurance - Driving licenses: Cars, bus, coastal boat, motorbike - Freediving and snorkeling licenses - Master business international law.

Overview of your Nice tour

The Greeks brought grapevines to Provence in the 6th century BC, and the Phoceans were the first to press and process red grapes using a quick method that produced the rosés we still love today. Provence is the biggest rosé producing region in the world, and this tour will focus on what makes these wines unique, and how they have evolved over time. If you're a fan of red or white wines, there will also be plenty for you to discover and taste! While learning about wine, you will also discover the lush countryside between Nice and Provence, with an optional stop in the glitzy village of Saint Tropez, where I will show you its authentic side.

Fouad was an absolutely exceptional guide and one of the highlights of our trip to Provence. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and thoughtfully crafted an itinerary around the small, local-production wineries I had researched and was excited to visit. He also introduced us to one of his personal favorite wineries, which quickly became one of ours as well. Beyond the wine, Fouad’s deep knowledge of the region brought Provence to life for us. As first-time visitors, we appreciated his insights, stories, and recommendations, which helped us experience the area in a much more authentic and meaningful way. His passion for Provence is contagious, and his warm, personable nature made the entire day feel effortless and special. I cannot recommend booking a tour with Fouad highly enough. The experience exceeded all of our expectations and was truly one of the most memorable days of our trip. If you're considering a tour with him, don't hesitate, you won't be disappointed! It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

Highly recommend Fouad. He was a great guide and was willing to flex our plans when we decided we wanted to visit a cheese farm.

This tour was incredible! My wife and I had such a blast! Fouad was incredibly knowledgeable about Nice, Provence. Saint Tropez, etc. He provided history of the areas, great places to grab lunch, snacks, drinks, and was flexible when our flight plans changed. We will absolutely be booking another tour with Fouad the next time we’re in Nice. Highly recommend!

Fouad is a great tour guide! He took us to some beautiful out of the way vineyards that we enjoyed immensely. We also enjoyed lunch afterwards in St. Tropez. Fouad went above and beyond and assisted us in getting some wine shipped back home. He is a really nice guy and we would definitely take another tour with him!

We had a wonderful wine tour with Fouad. He was very personable and knowledgeable and made sure we stopped for lunch in a place where locals eat. I would certainly recommend Fouad.

Fouad was absolutely fantastic! We felt like we hit the jackpot finding him as our guide. Our group had a lot of last minute logistical changes on pick-ups and drop-offs, and Fouad was always flexible and accommodating! He was entertaining and full of facts about the region, and he also took us to some local vineyards a little more off the beaten path that were absolutely stunning and did not feel tourist-ey. We had a phenomenal time, and it was very personalized. Would recommend this tour to anyone!!

Your Nice tour itinerary

This full-day tour will begin at 9am with a departure from Nice or the surrounding area. It will take us about one hour to reach the first winery, in the Var region (part of the Côtes de Provence). Here, we will visit the winery, cellar and vineyards, and have our first wine tasting. We will stop at a second winery for another tasting before having lunch in a beautiful location, surrounded by grapevines. I have chosen the vineyards for the quality of the wines, the sincerity of those who produce and sell the wine, and the their remarkable settings, one with contemporary works of art in the vineyards and another with a horse riding arena, reflecting the owner's second passion. In the afternoon, we can continue our vineyard visits, or take time to explore the villages of Provence. If you wish, we may visit the legendary village of Saint Tropez and discover its surrounding vineyards, which benefit from the sea breeze.
