What a wonderful day trip from Toulon and our cruise ship. Sasha from Toursbylocals was supurb! Cannot say enough about this great day excursion. We had a wonderful day driving first to Aix-en-Provence- just a lovely French town (for a quick, buttery croissant & coffee) and onto Cassis a pleasant fishing village by the sea. Sasha led us to a delicious seaside lunch spot where mussels & fries were the local specialties. Cassis was a fun town to walk around and view the locals enjoying their Sunday at the shore. We then drove to the highest scenic road to a fantastic view of the city and area. Sasha knew so much about the sites and the area. Though we learned about the Calanques, we did not have time for a boat ride to visit the spot but learned about these very special and unique places. Everyone loved Sasha as our guide and this special day excursion.

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 had an amazing time driving the bright orange Citroen Mehari along the Estérel Corniche from St Raphael to Cannes, stopping off for lunch at Théoule-sur-Mer and visiting one of the beautiful beaches we saw along the way. The car was stunning. The bodywork was perfect and the interior was pristine and spotless. It even had an iPhone holder and USB plug, so we had satnav! It was a real novelty driving the Mehari. It has four gears, and no power assisted steering, and that distinctive Citroen engine sound that I remember my Grandma’s Citroen Dyane having, which all added to the charm of the experience. The weather’s stunning here on the Cote D’azur, so the kids loved having the wind blowing through their hair, cooling is all down as we weaved our way along the stunning roads of the Corniche. We lost count of the number of people who gave us the thumbs up or waved to us - these cars seem to make people happy, us included! Pascal provided us with excellent service - it was easy to book from the UK via email, and we picked the car up from him at the Mehariviera base in Puget-sur-Argens (they also have a base in Nice). Pascal was very friendly and gave us a tour of the car and tips on how to get the most from driving it. All in all an unforgettable way to spend a day on the Cote D’azur - the kids said it’s as their favourite day of the holiday so far, and my wife and I had an amazing time too. If you get the chance, we all really recommend you do it!

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 ...
