Highly recommend! - Our tour guide was Alex. He shared a lot of knowledge about the areas we passed through, as well as the destination and winery. St Paul de Vence is one of my favorite medieval cities, filled with art galleries and once home to many renowned artists. The wine tasting was also fun - we tried whites, roses and reds from the vineyard, and they explained the process and history of winemaking in Provence! Really a fun time, thank you to Alex and to Lucca!

A very pleasant morning - This was a fantastic tour. Unfortunately, we were unable to go to Saint Paul de Vence as it had been closed to the general public because of a United Nations event going on in Nice, so David (our excellent guide) and his colleagues had come up with a very comparable plan B - a visit to Tourrettes-sur-Loup. This was a wonderful, charming little place with hardly any tourists. We then went onto the wine tasting which was interesting to say the least, especially for people like me know don't know the first thing about wine! Then back towards Nice in time for lunch. David was excellent - exceptionally knowledgeable and his time spent explaining things during the journey made the experience all the better. Thank you David - I'm so glad I did this and had you as our guide!

A wonderful morning … - What a wonderful tour. Thierry went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful day - even beyond the tour itself. He was friendly, kind and knowledgeable about the area which deepened our appreciation for Nice. The winery tour was intimate and enlightening. It’s evident that wine making is a true passion for this family and it was so enjoyable to learn from their expertise. If ever we return to Nice, we will be back - hopefully to taste some Canadian influence on their already wonderful wine. Thank you for a wonderful morning - it was truly a delight.

Substitute Tour - Tour guide, Thierry was great. Very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, due to dignitary's being in and taking over the town, we were not able to take the tour that we paid for. Upon getting picked up we were told we would be going somewhere else. A little advanced notice would've been nice so we could've decided to change plans. What we did was nice but I wanted to go to where we chose for a reason and did not get to I do feel we are due a partial refund and will pursue that. In then end it was a good tour thanks to Thierry.
