Fun, Unique Day
This is a very unique experience. We all enjoyed the day and we were happy we made it to the top and the citadel. It is quite a hike, but worth the work. The views are amazing. Carmella’s communication before hand was efficient, and clear about changes. She was well organized and informative. We all enjoyed spending time with her. The lunch selection was very impressive and the food was good.

Excellent! If you're interested in the French Riviera, this tour is for you.
This one-day tour took us by train from Nice to Cannes, through numerous picturesque towns and to Cap Esterel, a beautiful resort. Cyril guided us every step of the way and gave us lots of information about the area. It included a lunch at Cap Esterel and a stop in Antibes on the way back to Nice. It was an excellent tour and the price was all inclusive. Very worthwhile. One of the best tours we’ve done.

Beautiful areas outside of Nice
Had a wonderful day with an awesome guide Cyril. He made the day entertaining and informative with his quirky sense of humour and fun attitude. It was a very long and tiring day in the heat but so very well worth the effort to see such beautiful parts of the country. I certainly recommend this day if you want to see some areas a little off the beaten path and if you have Cyril as your guide you will hsve a great time

Beautiful Alps country
A wonderful day seeing things off the beaten path with a terrific guide Cyril. He nade a very long day fun and informative with his cheery and funny comments and quirky sense of humour. The country was very hilly and a hard walking surface but so woth the effort. He went above and beyond when he helped me get back to accomodation at the end of the day. If you are lucky to be on one of his tours you will be well looked after

The views and the company make this a not-to-miss experience!
Cyril was a fantastic guide! Not only did he share a lot of great information on the history of the region, but because he knows the locals well in Entrevaux, he was able to get stores opened for us that would have otherwise been closed! You can’t go wrong with this tour. I’ve taken many, many tours over the years all over the world and the quality of this tour was A+. Thanks again Cyril for a great last day here!

Amazing day in the French Alps. Highly recommend
This was an amazing day, hiking in medieval cities and checking out breathtaking these our guide Cyril was truly amazing. We did a tour in the “Hall of presidents” which was very informative and a lot of fun. Interestingly, we were delayed upon our return and the local bar stayed open to accommodate our almost three hour delay. Cyril magically arranged for food while we waited for the last train to Nice. The owner of the establishment and her dog took very good care of us.

Awesome tour of French Riviera!
Best tour of French Riviera, covering quaint towns/villages, a castle, and an awesome scenic train ride! Scenery alone is worth the tour, and our guide Cyril surpassed all expectations with professionalism and kindness-such an expert in French history! Cyril made it a true five star experience! PS, There's a special treat for French, American, and British veterans!

We had an amazing time going up to the Alps to escape the heat of Nice. Sofia was an amazing guide who was very knowledgeable and friendly. A had a couple of nice walks and visits to some local monasteries. The lunch was also amazing with quality choices. Would highly recommend this day trip from Nice to get away from the crowds and heat.

Ashley_H, Jul 2026
Great train experience.
This trip includes train, bus and walking. We did about 5 miles overall of walking. Cyril was our guide and he was excellent. He was funny and kept all of us entertained. We were a small group of 8 so we were able to move quickly. We stopped by many beautiful cathedrals and Cyril gave us history on each. The views were breathtaking.
