Pueblos de la Riviera francesa y la campiña desde Niza

Este es un viaje perfecto para hacer si no está muy familiarizado con Niza y las áreas circundantes O somos como mi esposo y yo, que sentimos que no había mucho más que ver en Niza después de haber pasado un día o dos caminando. Queríamos algo que ocupara la mayor parte del día, y lo hizo ya que eran las 9-5 pm después de todo lo dicho y hecho. Reservamos esto la noche anterior, así que hubo mucha confusión al momento de recogerlo y cuando, pero después de chatear a través de los mensajes de Viator, funcionó bien. Las ventajas de esta gira son que ves MUCHO. Nos detuvimos en creo que 6 - 7 lugares y todos eran hermosos. En algunos lugares solo teníamos 25 minutos, pero en otros teníamos cerca de una hora, aunque nunca me sentí demasiado apurado o no sentía que me faltaba nada en función del tiempo que teníamos. Las ciudades medievales, las cascadas y la granja de aceite de oliva eran preciosas y fue genial ver gran parte de la Riviera francesa en poco tiempo, sin tener que preocuparse por tomar varios trenes o autobuses. Este recorrido definitivamente te dará un día de oportunidad para tomar algunas fotos geniales. La razón por la que le di a este tour cuatro estrellas es porque, como otra crítica mencionó, no tienes un guía sino un conductor. La primera parada para nosotros fue en Mougins y nuestro guía nos dijo cuándo reunirnos en la camioneta. No teníamos idea de qué era esta ciudad, la importancia de la misma, etc. Fue solo caminando y buscando en Google que supimos que fue donde vivió Pablo Picasso los últimos 12 años de su vida y donde estaba su estudio. Por lo tanto, no espere ningún historial o información durante las unidades o en las propias ciudades. Solo está pagando para que alguien lo lleve a varios sitios y explore por su cuenta.

Rym was a super nice guide - got the spend the day with her and Ben from Italy (in training) who was interesting to get to know! It was just us and a young couple from Australia on the tour - so felt like a private tour. We were taken all over the place - it was a long day....for sure but we visited Moulin, Gourdon, La Tourettes (spelling)?, the waterfall and an olive factory tour and perfume factory tour. All were interesting and informative (the tours)....I'm not an olive person so that was my least favorite, but I did buy olive oil to bring back home for cooking and gifts. Same for the perfume factory - the smallest perfume is 28Euros. Would love to have had a little more time in the villages - they are simply magnificent - but time doesn't allow more than 30 o4 40 minutes max (if that) since you are traveling a bit to get to each one. Well worth the tour - Rym was sweet....we enjoyed her company & hospitality!

Elizabeth from Nice was our excellent driver with lots of interesting facts. We saw 4 medieval mountain villages. Only one disappointed thing, before our trip Viator staff told us that it will be a lavender field to take some photos, but unfortunately it was a mistake by global service not local one. Elisabeth explained that the error maybe happened of two similar towns' names, one close to lavenders and another is too far away from lavender country. Suggestion to Viator, please do not confuse your customers and check the information more careful with your local companies. Other than this, we enjoyed our a day trip in French Provence.

We enjoyed the selection of villages and attractions. The olive oil mill mill was surprisingly interesting, with delicious samples. The perfume factory taught us some things and was not a hard sell.

This tour provides a nice escape from the bustle of Nice and the French Riviera if you're looking for some peace and quiet and an introduction to medieval villages. We enjoyed seeing the valleys and mountains away from the coast, and we had some great views from Gordon. The olive oil mill was an interesting stop, and while the oil tasting without any accompanying food was a little strange, we found some delicious olives to take back home with us. So why only three stars? Our driver was just that-- a driver rather than a real guide. She dropped us off at each location and then went off to do her own thing. We were given very little information about each location, and some of the information we were given was suspect in its accuracy. We also found that the villages were a little too much alike. Without knowledge of their unique histories, we were kind of bored by the last two. You can only wander so many narrow cobblestone streets before they all start to look alike. A wonderful tour guide can make each town come alive, but that was certainly not the case here. Overall, we didn't feel like this tour was a particularly good use of our time or money. It was fine, but we were hoping for more than just fine for one of our precious last days in France.

Guide was friendly, knlowedgable, organized, and fun. She also recommended good restaurants in Nice. Old french villlages were beautiful. The villages were Touristy with lots of gift shops, but you cannot beat the views from top of Gourdon or the classic medieval architecture in Tourrettes, etc.

This was a great day trip that provided quite diversity in the range of villages visited, and had some very interesting additional stops along the way. One of the few tours that gets you to the fabulous village of Gourdon, perched on top of a hill with views to the Mediterranean. Overall the tour was well-paced except for the length of time at Gourdon. We were clearly expected to take a long time over a sit-down lunch with wine, but no-one on this tour was interested in this. We all just grabbed a sandwich and ended sitting around for quite a while waiting to move on. At least we could look at the view. Apart from this, I would thoroughly recommend this tour.

This trip is a must for those of you like us who do not drive whilst on holiday. Our guide Rym was lovely, young fresh and well informed. The selection of villages was lovely with just enough time to catch a glimpse of each destination. Our visit to the olive mill was fascinating but for me it was the wonderful visit to the waterfalls and the tour through the gorge on the way home. This is a busy day out and if I could do it again I would take a packed lunch as our time in Gourdon was used up queuing for lunch at the only takeaway in this little town and then finding a quiet spot to relax and eat our sandwich. If it had rained I do not know what would have happened as there is very little indoor restaurant space. Yes I would recommend this trip.

A perfect day with a wonderful guide. This tour is a great way to view the countryside and charming villages around Nice. The tour guide Rym was very informed and a charming host for the day
