In this 8-hours small-group tour, discover the charming perched villages of the French Riviera. Go to various different medieval cities and feel their associated lifestyles - the perfumes of Grasse, the art of St. Paul de Vence, the violets of Tourrettes-sur-Loup. Stop for lunch in a perched village offering one of the best views over the entire French Riviera coastline. For the almost magical light of this little piece of Provence, for its stunning landscapes overlooking the Mediterranean, Saint-Paul de Vence has always inspired its visitors. Marc Chagall spoke of it as a paradise, which inspired him to “couple above Saint-Paul” in 1968

Today I was finally able to take a tour that had been canceled twice, and Marie from ‘Expert Travel’, made it happen. The driver and guide Martina was excellent! She picked me up at agreed-upon location and was very nice and professional. She drove safely and provided very interesting information on all the locations. There was enough time at each location for wandering the streets and plenty of time for photo ops. Martina was inclusive of everyone's requests and very sensitive to the needs of everyone. I had such a good time with the other ladies on the trip. Martina’s knowledge of every location was impressive and she is informed with both history and modern information. Martina was excellent in every way. My experience with the Director of Expert Travel, Marie, provided me with a corrective experience after having had a negative experience with other travel guides. Thank you, Marie and Martina. I highly recommend Expert Travel.

We were impressed by the little villages we visited, the history, the old Roman structures and the views from the areas. We liked the visit to the perfume factory and learning the process and how to smell each note.

It was more like a taxi ride in between beautiful places. Suggestion to Viator: use recordings for each place while en route. 5 stars to the route 1 star to the driver/guide Average/total: 3 stars

Our expectation of this tour was that there would be commentary during the trip with descriptions and stories of the towns we visited as per the description of this tour. There was no such thing. All you are paying for is a transfer from town to town. The towns were breathtaking. Skip the pergume factory tour.

Philippe our driver was excellent. We visited several small towns along the French Riviera and he was very knowledgeable about the area’s we visited.

Our guide was engaging and informative, exactly like his name Perfait (not sure about the spelling). The medieval towns were amazing and the views were spectacular. The tour of the perfume factory was fun and a wonderful opportunity to learn more about how perfume is made.

Sebastien was an amazing tour guide. He was friendly and funny and informative. The tour itself was a fantastic experience. I particularly loved having lunch in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. It was a lovely little town with spectacular views. I would highly recommend this tour!
