A great day of sightseeing outside of Nice

We did the full day trip with our guide Elton. This was a great day - saw many key spots throughout the day. Spectacular scenery. Elton was a very busy guide - translating into English, Portuguese and French throughout the day all the while driving through traffic and keeping our day moving efficiently. Would highly recommend this trip.

Great Expereice.

This was a thorough and enjoyable visit to the French Riviera. Our driver, George was personable, courteous and knowledgable of the area. He pointed so many sights that we would have missed on our own to to mention the convenience of being driven around in a clean, air conditioned van with a skilled driver. My wife had some ambulation difficulties and George was so kind to enable her to enjoy this tour.

Revised Your Itinerary and Pay your Guides Correctly!

The tour started fine. However, midway through the tour & all the way to the end was when everything went downhill. The guide/driver, Laurent, was so concern about the time & traffic that he even ended up having a shouting match with another driver as we were leaving Cannes. Mind you, this was after EVERYONE who participated in this tour was ON TIME with the scheduled return on each stop. During our stop in St Paul de Vence, we were even waiting for him 5 mins before his set time for us to return. But what left a sour taste in this tour was at the end. He was rushing through the traffic and everyone to leave because acdg to him, it was a 10 hour tour & he was pushing towards the 11th hour & he said, the company only pays him to do 10 hours of work. If this is the case, 1st, the company should not have included too many stops so everything will fit in that 10 hrs including the drive back to Nice. 2nd, you are driving/taking tourist to the spots. What do we know about traffic conditions? He was so upset that we all felt that he just arrived in Nice & started this job 1 week ago because he was so livid with the traffic conditions! We were rush that as we left his van at the end of the tour, he simply shove all our stuff that were at the back of his van & told us that he knew it was ours. As we were going down, we started checking & quickly realized that the shopping bag we pick up belong to the other passenger. We quickly turn around & shouted at him as he was getting back into the van but he completely ignored us. My friend run after his van, tapping the side, calling his name but he just kept driving. Even the people on the sidewalk tap his van because those people knew that we were trying to get his attention. But off he goes! I got his phone number on whatsapp & called him to let him know about the shopping bag switch & that was when he told me that he cannot stop or turn around because he is only paid 10 hrs & he has worked more than that. All this incident including him reminding us repeatedly about the time (even though each & every one of us in that van were all on time) made this a very stressful tour because we were all watching the time instead of enjoying the view & places we were supposed to be visiting!

Small van for 9 adults

Van was too small for 9 passengers, claustrophobic and difficult to get into the back seat where we were. Driver told the trip might take 12 hours instead of the 9 advertised b/c of holiday weekend traffic. Given cramped seating, we exited after 15 minutes while we could. No refund.

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We would like to clarify that the tour was confirmed the day before, and no concerns about the vehicle or seating arrangements were raised prior to departure. You chose to leave after the tour had already started and after the driver had arrived at the pickup location. Under our booking terms, free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before departure. As this was a last-minute cancellation after the tour had commenced, the booking was not eligible for a refund. The vehicle used was a new Peugeot Traveller, which is designed and licensed to accommodate up to nine passengers, including the driver, in accordance with safety regulations. We understand that comfort is subjective, but we had not received any advance request for specific seating or additional space. Traffic conditions during holiday weekends are beyond our control, and the driver's estimate was provided to keep all passengers informed of possible delays. We regret that the tour did not meet your expectations and appreciate your feedback. Best regards
