Vanessa is an excellent guide! She is very knowledgeable about all things Antibes. She guided us around neighborhood streets to help us see and feel the charm of the city. She was in contact before the tour and also followed up with recommendations that we had asked about. Great mix of food and history of the area!
Thank you so much Penny for your wonderful review! It was truly a pleasure showing you around Antibes and sharing some of my favorite local spots with you. I'm so happy you enjoyed the mix of food, history, and the charm of Antibes' little streets. I also loved helping you with your questions and recommendations before and after the tour. It was a pleasure having you as my guests, and I hope you take home some beautiful memories of Antibes! 🇫🇷✨
Our tour guide was lovely—very kind and knowledgeable. We had 5 stops in about 3-1/2–4 hours including a lunch stop. All unique food that we wouldn’t have tried otherwise. The lunch restaurant recommendation was not great. We had lunch “du jour” and today’s offering felt like a Mexican dish with ceviche, cilantro, avocado cream on a tostada. I wanted authentic French so was a little disappointed. I think in general the pace was a bit slow and though our guide was nice, I would have enjoyed it more if she was more enthusiastic and energetic. It was not her fault that it was sweltering hot, but it was hard to stand in the blazing heat for any duration. My family checked out early
Hi Kelly, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you felt the tour was too long, and I appreciate you sharing your experience. I would just like to clarify one point for future guests: the Antibes Tasting Tour lasted approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes, as indicated at the time of booking, rather than 3.5 to 4 hours. I’m also sorry if the heat made the last part of the tour less comfortable. I truly appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration for future tours. Warm regards, Vanessa
We did this tour with our 1 year old who is walking and Vanessa was great and adapted the tour as and when we needed. Food was great, tour was amazing would fully recommend

We enjoyed this combined food and historic walk so much. Vanessa is very kind, attentive and a fantastic guide. We got to explore the charming streets in the old town with all the interesting details, taste delicious local food while learning about the history of the city. Vanessa made this such an interesting and authentic tour. We and our two teenage boys loved this tour and we highly recommend it! The communication with Vanessa was great.

Very enjoyable tour of Antibes with Vanessa. She is a highly knowledgeable local, and took us to some really fun spots on our tour. The different types of food (and drink) we tasted were delicious and we enjoyed learning the history behind what we tasted. It was a small group (6 people) which also made the experience more intimate. Before and after the tour, Vanessa was highly communicative and gave great suggestions for other places to visit in the area.

One of the best food tours I have done. Vanessa was an exceptional guide. Having been born in Antibes she was able to share local knowledge. It was great when she pointed out where she grew up and then saw her aunt with a group of friends. The food selections were all delicious and going to an Absinthe bar was a bonus. Altogether a fantastic tour.

We had a fantastic food tour of Antibes with Vanessa. She was warm, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the history, culture, and local food of this beautiful city. The three hours flew by as we explored hidden gems, sampled a wonderful variety of delicious local foods, and learned so much about Antibes along the way. Vanessa made the experience engaging, relaxed, and fun, and her local knowledge really brought the city to life. It was an excellent morning and well worth the time. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the authentic flavours and history of Antibes.
