5.00This tour has all the things you could want! Beautiful nature views, lovely walking, delicious food and a wonderful guide who made the whole day informative, fun and really looked out for the group. Carmela was so kind and knowledgeable and also so patient and encouraging. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience she went above and beyond from texting information for us the night before to translating the entire lunch menu.
Hope weather is not that cold but we have fun

5.00What a wonderful tour! Cyril was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and informative! The train ride to the Apls was amazing scenery!!! The villages we visited were sleepy this time of year, but still charming! We hiked down through a pine forest and olive orchard, which was idyllic! Highly recommend the tour!

5.00Started the tour at Entrevaux as planned then decided as a group to go to Touet-sur-Var so we could be back in Nice at 18h30. Moderate uphill climbs at both but very beautiful views of the mountainside and some interesting history. Cyril was a great guide, very knowledgeable and funny.
Fun small towns

5.00If you did the second town hiking stop, it's extra 4 hours. Won't get back till 9:30 pm. Wish we could have done it. I would go back to just do the second stop.
Perfect trip

5.00One day before departure we were told that the trip would be cancelled unless the four remaining participants each paid an additional €30 atop the fee previously paid. That was an unpleasant last-minute demand.
