100/10 experience even with things not going to plan!
This was an amazing experience!! Unfortunately, the car broke down early in our tour & we were unable to ride it up to the vineyard. This still did not ruin our time at all!!! The guides were incredibly accommodating & we were able to call an uber up to the vineyard & still join the tasting/castle tour. The guide was all on his own while the other fixed the car - but he did an AMAZING job!! They were super apologetic for something that was totally out of their control & helped make the absolute best of what could’ve been a sticky situation. We still had an incredible time & would recommend this experience to anyone - even if things went wrong it was still 10/10!!

Such an amazing tour!! Exceeded my expectations! Must do if you love wine and want to see all of the gorgeous views Nice as to offer!! We had a lovely guide who spoke English. He was so knowledgeable and accommodating from start to finish.

Book this, you will not regret it.
Completely worth it and so glad we decided to book this experience. Our guide, Paul was extremely informative and his recommendations helped us beyond this tour during our time in Nice. The wines were delicious and the history of Chateau de Cremat made this even better than originally anticipated.
Operator response
Going the extra mile with local recommendations outside the tour itself is something Paul does on his own initiative, not something we script!

A nice historical tour in Nice, with wine
A very rewarding tour, from the travel on the open top Land Rover to the whole experience at Chateau de Cremat. We enjoy the beautiful building and surroundings, the wine tasting, and we also learned historical facts, such as the real origin of a famous logo (won't do spoilers!) . Special thanks to our guide Paul, very kind, helpful and well versed in the local history. A really valuable tour.
Operator response
Paul has a knack for dropping in those historical details without turning it into a lecture!
J
A great experience!
A great experience. The eye catching Land Rover has people waving at you. The wine was lovely and the castle was a pleasantly short walk/tour, rather than a long walk in 35 degrees! I highly recommend.
Operator response
The Defender definitely knows how to make an entrance!

Very nice tour with a wine tasting that could be improved.
The tour began with a nice welcome from our guide and a well-prepared and safe ride through Nice. Passing by the sights, the guide provided background knowledge and tips about the city. Once we arrived at Chateau Cremat, it was unfortunately disappointing. The staff there were unfortunately not very motivated to explain the wines for the tasting. The taste of the wines themselves was also not a highlight. The tour through the Chateau was interesting again and was well-organized and varied by the guide.
Operator response
Cette partie est assurée directement par l’équipe du Château de Crémat, mais votre remarque sur le manque d’explications et sur les vins eux-mêmes est importante, et nous allons la leur transmettre. Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager un avis aussi constructif.

This was a super fun tour around Nice and to the winery. The car was really cool and guides were so fun! Recommend!
Loved this tour, the cool truck, open top through nice and mountains. Wine tasting was pretty good but the drive was the best part.
Operator response
The wine tasting is a great excuse… but we have to admit that cruising through Nice and the mountain roads in a classic open-top Defender is hard to beat
