The 10 Best Private Tours in Nice, Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur

December 12, 2021 Natalie Tallman

The deep blue waters of the Cote d’Azur are the dramatic backdrop for elegant Nice. Breathe in the fresh Mediterranean air as you stroll the waterfront promenade, or get an eagle eye of the whole city from atop Castle Hill. The pedestrians-only Place Rossetti is the heart of the city, with a grand fountain, vibrant buildings, and the beautiful Sainte-Réparate cathedral giving it a provincial French feel.

An unforgettable experience with our guide Karolina, a pleasant and well-documented person who presented us the places and not least the transfer was made with a quality and new car. I recommend the trip and the company because they have definitely quality services even for the most demanding persons.

What a wonderful day trip from Toulon and our cruise ship. Sasha from Toursbylocals was supurb! Cannot say enough about this great day excursion. We had a wonderful day driving first to Aix-en-Provence- just a lovely French town (for a quick, buttery croissant & coffee) and onto Cassis a pleasant fishing village by the sea. Sasha led us to a delicious seaside lunch spot where mussels & fries were the local specialties. Cassis was a fun town to walk around and view the locals enjoying their Sunday at the shore. We then drove to the highest scenic road to a fantastic view of the city and area. Sasha knew so much about the sites and the area. Though we learned about the Calanques, we did not have time for a boat ride to visit the spot but learned about these very special and unique places. Everyone loved Sasha as our guide and this special day excursion.

Starting with hotel pickup in Nice, this private 8-hours tour of Provence gives you the chance to discover the hidden treasures and typical delights of this beloved region of France. Visit places such as Mougins perched at 750 feet above sea level and located between Cannes and Grasse. Mougins is known for its Gastronomy festival (the stars of Mougins) and it is now an important tourist centre, having successfully preserved its quiet atmosphere and its particular character. You will visit typical villages as Saint Paul de Vence, Tourettes sur Loup, Gourdon and the perfume city of Grasse. Drive through the Gorges du Loup (Loup Canyon) where the river had carved huge gorges, one of the most beautiful natural curiosities in the Provence region. Feel the charm of former Provence villages and discover their medieval architecture and art in Tourrettes sur Loup or Saint Paul de Vence. Try Lavender or violette ice cream in Gourdon and enjoy the view from about 2000 feet above sea level.

This review is long overdue. But when a friend asked me what they should do while in France I had to recommend this day trip with Yvonne. Yvonne tailor made our day so that my husband and I were able to see the things most important to us. Her knowledge of the area is truly wonderful. We were able to visit little villages, talk to the shop owners, taste incredible food and see sights we would not have explored on our own. Of course her Mercedes was very clean and comfortable. Yvonne is a warm and friendly host. The day spent with her as our guide was the highlight of our trip to France.

Had a fantastic experience with my man on a one-day tour and hike to Lalumha Falls. The main hike to the falls took about 1.5 hours total, and our guide (Seamus) was great — very positive and energetic. We also did some light hiking by a beach on Oahu, and the main hike to the falls was followed by beach time on Oahu’s north shore. Great day; definitely recommend this experience!

we scheduled custom tour with Alain during out cruise stop and he went above & beyond for us, I didn't expect much because we only had about 6h but he was able to accommodate everything in a timely manner and even squeezed an excursion to Russian orthodox church in Nice which my parents were really grateful to see - no other private operators I asked were willing to do that! we absolutely fell in love with Nice (also we did visit monaco, monte carlo & cannes during our tour) and planning to get back just to walk again those little streets he showed us! we highly recommend Alain to our friends and relatives!
