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 ...

Originally I was thinking of getting a bus to Monaco from Nice & so glad I didn’t. This was well worth the money. We were collected from hotel, tour consisted of 8 people in the mini bus, took to the medieval village of Eze which was lovely then to a perfume factory which was interesting & then onto the highlight Monaco, we had time to stop for an hour, watched the change of the guards at the palace, got our passports stamped (I didn’t realise that Monaco was its own country!), then we went to Monte Carlo, drove round the famous Grand Prix track & stopped to check out the casino. Only wished we’d stayed longer in the last 2 stops. Definitely recommend

This 5 hour private tour will give you a nice view of the main spots which make the celebrity of the Provence region. You will visit many typical villages as Saint Paul de Vence, Tourettes sur Loup, Gourdon and the perfume city of Grasse. Drive through the Gorges du Loup (Loup Canyon) where the river starting in the alpine foothills had carved huge gorges out of the living rock producing one of the most beautiful natural curiosities in the Provence region. Feel the charm of former Provence villages and discover their medieval architecture and art in Tourrettes sur Loup or Saint Paul de Vence. Try Lavender or violette ice cream in Gourdon and enjoy the view from about 2000 feet above sea level. Built on top of a rocky spur, this eagle's nest of a feudal village occupies a remarkable site overlooking the Gorges du Loup. Dive into the World's capital of perfumes, smell the fragrances and try to be a "nose". Finish your tour at your point of departure.

Inclusions: Bottled water, Licensed Guide, Live commentary on board, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Private tour, Free WIFI (on demand)

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...

On Sunday (04/04/2021) I drove the Lamborghini Gallardo with the owner of Liven Up. Off the bat he was extremely friendly and allowed me driving the car with his instructions - He pushes you to have fun with it and experience what the car can do around corners, accelerating and obviously the sound of it. Got to see the beautiful views off the french riviera and Monaco. Would definitely advise everyone to experience this.

Riviera Touring was our complete transportation company for our visit to Antibes. Our party of 2 couples relied on Philippe for airport service round trip, wine tasting day trip, and service to St. Paul De Vence. We were so happy with all of our experiences and never disappointed in any way. Philippe takes great joy in sharing as much information about Antibes and the Riviera as he can while driving. His knowledge extends beyond the usual points of interests and also includes environmentally and socially how the locals live. He was always professional, extremely friendly and genuinely compassionate about giving you the best possible experience. Communications and response times were appropriate. Thank you for the gift of your time.
