“The tour was informative. The vehicle moved quite vastly past the venues. A bathroom shop should be included.”
Train from Nice on the Baroque Route to Saorge and Tende, with monastery visits, local lunch, and guided hiking.
“Our tour guide, Camela, was exceptional. She provided in-depth history about where we went. The village we stopped at, Entrevaux, and she spoke with the music player for their church and he played for us only. Very beautiful!! Also, she spoke with another woman who opened the museum for motor bikes for us to see; amazing! The restaurant and their food was amazing. The only negative thing was the weather and we could not finish our tour due to rain.”

A historic Alps train from Nice to Entrevaux and Annot, plus a tough hike to the King’s Room and a local lunch.
“Our guide Cyril was the absolute BEST! This was one of the best tour experiences we have ever had. Very knowledgable and passionate about France, Nice and the surrounding area. The train ride scenery was stunning. The medieval villages were quaint and so well preserved. The lunch consisted of local cuisine and a beautiful local wine from the town Boucher, a family run business. Overall on scale of 10 Cyril made our experience a 15!”
Train the French Riviera from Nice through Cap Esterel red-rock stops, with sea time, optional castle, and an included picnic lunch.
“Cyril was one of the best tour guides we've ever had to pleasure to have! The entire day was filled with tales of the history Nice, beautiful views, and wonderful food. We chose a more low-key adventure given the immobility of some of the members of our party, but we still felt completely enriched by the experience. Cyril was always attentive to our needs and concerns. His former career as a political speech writer for the government only enhanced his incredible knowledge of the area's complex cultural and political background and was exactly what we wanted. If you want an unparalleled view into how Nice came of age while enjoying…”
