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.

Overview of your Nice tour

Discover with me the beautiful natural wonder of the Verdon Canyon, the most spectacular river canyon in Europe with its 700m deep cliffs and light green waters. Drive to Castellane, a charming pilgrimage village with a rich cultural heritage where we'll have a short stop for coffee or a cool drink. Let's then admire the Verdon River and its Canyon from where you will enjoy some breathtaking views and lots of opportunities to take great photos. Moustiers Sainte Marie, a medieval village nestled in the rocky mountains will be our next stop. This place is internationally renowned for its delicate ceramics you can admire in faience and pottery shops in the city center. Relax in a very confortable air-conditioned Mercedes Mini Van (max 8 persons) on your way back to Nice (or nearby) with the option to stop in a vineyard estate for a delicious winetasting of typical Provence wine (to be confirmed at the beginning of the tour). Tour can be customized according your interests.
