We would be picked up on time, the drive to the Alps was rewarded with beautiful vantage points. At our request, our driver also stopped in between and let us enjoy the beautiful area. Gourdon, Saint-Paul de Vence and Tourrettes-sur-Loup are definitely worth a visit. We could have saved ourselves the Fragonard perfume factory. This is all about selling perfume. The tour of the factory only took 15 minutes. The salesroom for it all the longer.

My family of 2 adults and 2 grown children took their tour with anthony while visiting Nice this week- and we are so glad we did. Anthony was exceedingly knowledgeable and personable. He made the day so enjoyable and tailored the trip towards our interests. During the drive from city to city he shared a wealth of local information. He also shared many suggestions for the remainder of our stay in Nice regarding things to do and places to eat. The city of Gordon was especially interesting and offered amazing views of the countryside as well as some unique shopping opportunities. I would highly recommend this tour and especially anthony! You will definitely not regret it.
