Interesting tour, great tour guide - Enjoyable tour. I did not expect when I booked the tour that the guide will be a high level - I saw a lot. Our guide Nabil was so knowledgeable about history Medieval villages we visited! He Is so enthusiastic to share all his knowledges with us, very professional and friendly. Car, driving and AC was also smooth and perfect. I would not go myself in such locations up to mountains without this tour. Only would like to have a little bit more time in StPdVence. Highly recommend this tour with Nabil to everyone!

Take this tour! - Nail was wonderful. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the regions history. He made everything interesting and had enough knowledge to answer all of the questions. We enjoyed the 4 different villages and all of the info that we learned. Each village was different, so it was nice to see all of the different details, that had we done ourselves we never would have noticed.

Great way to see the medieval villages! - Nabil is such a passionate and helpful guide. He knows a lot about France's history which ties really well with this medieval villages tour. We had enough time in all 4 spots. I personally felt I would have liked to walk more in Grasse bc the perfumery took a long time but the tour was split up evenly among the 4 spots which made sense. Overall great use of the day and spots that are easier to do on a tour than on your own because it requires a ton of mountain driving!

Very enjoyable tour - This tour was very good. I enjoyed the small villages and the scenery. We started at the perfume factory which was interesting but, not really my thing. I would have preferred missing this in order to have more free time at the stops. The guide was very informative about the history of the area.

Majestic Villages Tour - My friend and I had an amazing tour! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and interesting! We loved going to the Fragonard Parfumerie in Grasse and purchased a few of their wonderful products! The medieval villages were beautiful and so scenic! This tour was the highlight of our trip to France!

Just average - We had a very interesting tour of the perfume factory. And then the other villages. In some ways it was more a taxi service. The driver talked none stop in the car. It was a bit boring. But when we gotcto the villageswecwere left on our own to go round.
