10 Day Trips from in Nice That You Shouldn't Miss

March 26, 2022 Etsuko Causey

The deep blue waters of the Cote d’Azur are the dramatic backdrop for elegant Nice. Breathe in the fresh Mediterranean air as you stroll the waterfront promenade, or get an eagle eye of the whole city from atop Castle Hill. The pedestrians-only Place Rossetti is the heart of the city, with a grand fountain, vibrant buildings, and the beautiful Sainte-Réparate cathedral giving it a provincial French feel.

This review is long overdue. But when a friend asked me what they should do while in France I had to recommend this day trip with Yvonne. Yvonne tailor made our day so that my husband and I were able to see the things most important to us. Her knowledge of the area is truly wonderful. We were able to visit little villages, talk to the shop owners, taste incredible food and see sights we would not have explored on our own. Of course her Mercedes was very clean and comfortable. Yvonne is a warm and friendly host. The day spent with her as our guide was the highlight of our trip to France.

we scheduled custom tour with Alain during out cruise stop and he went above & beyond for us, I didn't expect much because we only had about 6h but he was able to accommodate everything in a timely manner and even squeezed an excursion to Russian orthodox church in Nice which my parents were really grateful to see - no other private operators I asked were willing to do that! we absolutely fell in love with Nice (also we did visit monaco, monte carlo & cannes during our tour) and planning to get back just to walk again those little streets he showed us! we highly recommend Alain to our friends and relatives!

We had a trip from Nice to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the driver offered to drive us through the low Corniche. We passed by Villefranche-Sur-Mer and Beaulieu-sur-Mer. We had the chance to stop and take some lovely pictures of the Bay! I will definitely call the same driver for my next trip to Nice !

Yonne arrived on time with a name sign to pick me up at the cruise terminal. She was driving a new luxury Mercedes van and she is a very good driver which is a real performance when you know how it is difficult to drive in France where nobody respects basic driving rules !! so I feel safe the whole tour with Yvonne I was definitalely in very good hands. The day spent too quickly indeed this private tour was so informative and interesting thanks to my nice local guide. Don´t hesitate to book her if you want to spend an unforgetable day and come back safe...

we visited only one Rass winery, and in the review it was announced that we would visit 3 wineries. I do not like this. It made a bad impression on me that when we arrived at the Rass winery we were greeted with the finding that they had already closed for tourists today, but as a compromise they would take the trouble to open for us. The winery was not typical of Provence. There are also better wineries in the area, I expected more ...
