My sister and I booked the Monaco/Côte d'Azur tour which also included a stop in the beautiful medieval city of Eze and a tour of the Fragonard Perfumery. All in all we discovered Nice, Monaco (including a lunch stop in Monte-Carlo as per our request), Eze/Fragonard Perfumery, and Cannes in one day, without ever feeling rushed or like we had missed an opportunity. Silvio was a wonderful guide, his local knowledge excellent and his recommendations (such as to try a traditional treat in Nice) much appreciated. His driving was also terrific, which is important to note because we were in the car for a good portion of the day. We honestly had such a great experience and cannot recommend this tour or Silvio enough!

We had to cancel our excursion on 5/28/2020 because of the pandemic. I have requested a refund as per their policy, but they will not answer my calls or respond to my 4 emails. I know this is a difficult time, but they should at least acknowledge my requests. I have received refunds from all other excursions we had booked. I booked this per TripAdvisor recommendation.

This is a review about our experience "so far" with Christopher and Ooh Provence. A number of months ago, as usual, I did extensive research and found a photographer and I contacted him to see about a photo experience while in Marseille. He responded immediately and then told me about his tour company which extends beyond just photography. It was perfect...a guide that could help 2 amateur photographers get some unique shots in a great city plus learn about the history at the same time. I find this is a great way to explore a city. So, of course ,I booked and paid the deposit etc. and we confirmed our date. Then along came Covid 19 and I finally had to cancel .This company offers full refund up to 24 hours in advance of tour and Christopher had no problem with an immediate refund. I will add that is not the case with some hotels etc. I am so impressed with the customer service under very extraordinary circumstances and will definitely book with Ooh Provence in the future when we can return post Covid. Based on my experience so far I am sure we will have a great time touring Marseille and the surrounding area with Christopher. I often find the true test of a good travel company is how they handle unexpected problems and can be flexible. Christopher delivers on this for sure!!

If you're ever in Nice for the weekend and want a quick whistle stop tour of Eze and Monaco then this is your tour. We were picked up by the ever knowledgeable Justin who is English and French speaking. The minibus was nice, clean and spacious Firstly driven to Eze which is about 40 minutes away from Nice centre. We stopped off for a photo op before our arrival. Justin proceeded to provide us with in depth knowledge of Nice and Eze. Once in Eze we were able to explore for about 45 minutes. With a population of 26 people, you are practically walking through people's front rooms. Really good experience, however, it is a uphill trek to get to so wear appropriate footwear. We were then taken to a perfumery and given the history of perfume/soap differentiating the strengths and the ingredients that go into making scents. I learnt a lot here. There is also an opportunity to buy aswell. The next stop was Monaco, although it was raining we were still able to absorb the wonder of the tax free haven for the rich and famous. We saw the casino, drove the route of the F1 race track. Visited the yellow submarine, prince of Monaco's palace and the local cathedral. All were out of this world. We were driven back to central Nice for lunch with some amazing suggestions regarding places to eat from Justin. Overall, this is definitely worth the money and Justin was the best tour guide I've ever encountered.

Polygone Riviera shopping centre is the first open air shopping centre in France. Men's fashion, ladies' fashion, children's fashion, beauty, sport, and leisure..Polygone Riviera has brought together the biggest brands for you. After the first few hours of shopping relax in the beautiful medieval village of Saint Paul wich is just next door. Take time for a little lunch and stroll through the little streets of this amazing village with it's famous art galleries Then your private driver will bring you to Cannes. For a small town, Cannes is big on luxury shopping. From big-ticket, big-name brands on La Croisette, to the more relaxed Rue d'Antibes, the long main street where you find the shops that the less loaded can afford. If names like Zara and Façonnable mean anything to you, then this is your street..After a couple of hours of shopping you can relax while your private driver will bring you back to Nice

3 1/2 stars. We drove around Salut for 5 - 6 hours looking for lavender fields. I was disappointed we did not visit Roussillon. On Tripadvisor’s itinerary “Roussillon: Stop 45 minutes” was written, so I expected we would go both Roussillon and Gordes then spend time on lavender fields, but it was different. Since it’s August, we didn’t visit Abbaye Notre-Dame de Sénanque, neither. It’s good the guide was knowledgeable and knew so much about the lavender.
