5.00This was by far the highlight of our trip to Nice! Cyril was highly knowledgeable on all the history and funny to boot! We had a full day but literally loved every minute, even when we had a few hiccups. Don’t pass on this experience!

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.
Train ride with Cyril

5.00Our guide was Cyril. He was knowledgable, engaging, helpful, and we enjoyed spending the day with him and our group of 8. He made the tour with his humor and knowledge. The train ride was enjoyable and picturesque. Cyril gave the history of the area starting at the train station and throughout the day as we traveled. The village walking tours were interesting and amazing. We enjoyed a couple of mild hikes to overlook the cities and a more moderate hike up to the citadel (optional) and down through the forest and olive trees. Lunch was enjoyable in one of the villages (lasagna or filet). For dinner we enjoyed a homemade pizza out of a food trip which was also enjoyable. Highly recommend the tour and you get a bonus if you get Cyril!
Outstanding Trip to the Alps and Beautiful Cities

5.00This was one of the best excursions/tours we’ve ever had! Toured two beautiful cities with our exceptional guide, Carmela, who was knowledgeable and very interesting. She went out of her way to get to know our interests and to be very helpful. Lunch was delicious. The restaurant set out a special area just for our group, and there was more food than we could eat. We also had wine. The hike to the Citadel was challenging, but the view from the top is worth the effort. (I walk 3-4 miles a day, and I found it difficult.) it was simply a wonderful day.
Worth it
