Amazing tour of St Tropez and Port Grimaud!! Our guide Sabine made this an exceptional trip! Not only was she so informative of the history of the locations, she engaged with everyone on the tour ensuring we had the best experience. She supplied us a detailed map with highlights of must see attractions and restaurants, and after the tour gave us further recommendations of restaurants in Nice! Thank you Sabine for such a memorable day!!
Thank you for your pleasant review about your day. We hope to see you again soon. French Riviera...
We had a wonderful day with our family. The tour was planned very well, trying to give us enough time for each destination. We were not rushed at all and experience was very pleasant. Ruben our guide for the day was very nice and knowledgeable. He provided us with a lot of useful information for each destination. The wine tasting at the end was very nice and relaxing. Nice job!
Thank you for your pleasant review about your day. We hope to see you again soon on the French Riviera..
Ruben guided us and provided an amazing tour! It was all perfect
Stephan was our guide and he was great communicating with us and friendly. He even made a playlist for us. He made sure we made stops to go to the bathroom and grab a snack if needed. I don’t think I would want to or be able to afford to stay in Saint Tropez, so this was a great way to check it out. I was originally dreading the beach portion of the trip, but I think it was worth seeing the beach and the beach clubs. Note: this is not a guided tour when you get to the tour stops. You are on your own with recommendations from your guide. I recommend trying to go on Tuesday or Saturday when the market is open.
Thank you for your pleasant review about your day. We hope to see you again soon on the French Riviera..

NOT a TOUR. A DRIVER transports 8 people to a port near Saint Tropez, tells us to board the shuttle boat and to meet him at 1:30 at a hotel. He then texted us a list of sites to check out and one lunch place recommendation - adding very little value to what we could find ourselves in any guide. We personally decided to take a driving tour vs. boat tour to Saint Tropez in order to enjoy the scenery but he took the highway. Long drive and not enough time in Saint Tropez to go to the beach, see any sites and have lunch because we had to leave at 1:30 to stop to taste 3 wines at a winery (no tour, no educational content), and to stop in Port Grimauld, a small, man made network of canals built in the 60’s that lacks character and nothing more than a gimmicky tourist trap. Very disappointing and “tour” added no value over an Uber driver and 10 minutes of research.
Hello, We are sorry to hear that the experience was not entirely satisfactory. However, please note that the itinerary and free time are clearly described in our description. You were aware of the program in advance and yet deliberately booked the tour. Regarding the free time in St. Tropez, this is indeed the very concept of the tour: to have free time to do as you please. Based on our 19 years of experience, this is the best way to discover St. Tropez. Crossing the bay by boat saves you over an hour of traffic congestion on the way to St. Tropez. While you enjoy St. Tropez and the boat trip, the guide travels to St. Tropez to pick you up at 1:30 pm. As you mentioned, St. Tropez is quite a long drive, so the motorway travel time is obviously essential and must be as short as possible to reach the heart of the program. A significant portion of the motorway route passes through a forested area of little interest to tourists, which is why we are taking the motorway. The coastal road from Nice to St. Tropez takes over 3 hours, so it's unreasonable to choose any other means of access than the motorway... You mentioned not having time for lunch, yet all our clients, without exception, have lunch at the port of St. Tropez, which is an unmissable stop and easily doable within the 3 hours of free time in St. Tropez... Regarding the vineyard, you did indeed taste 3 wines; this was, once again, a stop specified in the tour. We never indicated that you would have a guided tour of the winery; it was simply a stop to let you taste the famous St. Tropez wine. However, we do offer other tours with guided vineyard visits if that's what you were looking for when you booked this tour. Regarding Port Grimaud, this is a personal opinion and I am sorry if you didn't find her pretty, but once again the product photos and the steps described were contractual; if Port Grimaud did not seem interesting to you in the photos or description, you should have redirected your choice towards a product more attractive to you. We hope these explanations will help you better understand the product booked.
Very nice trip with very good guide. Guide knew a lot about Nice and surroundings, from where we left. The information about St Tropez was also extensive and clear. We are by boat from St Maxime, on the advice of our guide, was very nice. Through WA we have received the necessary tips and sights. We crossed St Tropez ourselves, was fine to do. Particularly nice experience. On the way back I did a wine tasting, which was not very much but still a nice break. Great job, highly recommended.
Hartelijk dank voor uw prettige recensie over uw dag. We hopen u snel weer te zien aan de Franse Rivièra.
San Tropez is a beautiful place to visit and this tour helps you to solve all logistics and informational problems Greatly recommend!
