We had to cancel our excursion on 5/28/2020 because of the pandemic. I have requested a refund as per their policy, but they will not answer my calls or respond to my 4 emails. I know this is a difficult time, but they should at least acknowledge my requests. I have received refunds from all other excursions we had booked. I booked this per TripAdvisor recommendation.

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!

Le Vieux Nice or the Old Nice is the iconic district of the city where the Italian art and architecture, reminiscent of the City’s volatile past, remain still very tangible... In this tour, you’ll discovery the ever-unpredictable history of Nice, a city, by its outer appearance has no or very little equivalent in the rest of France. The narrow streets of the congested Old City center—a legacy from its medieval origins—and its typical architecture with mixed styles from the Middle Age to the late 19th century, shall take you by surprise. Typical provençal markets and historical outlets are there for you to make unforgettable shopping experiences. Along the tour, you will learn a great deal of anecdotes and trivia about local people, products and food.

Inclusions: All Fees and Taxes, Professional guide
