Our tour guuid tried to explain many thing (cultures, histories with details etc.,) everything was very useful to know about this provinces. When I said ‘good bye’ to our guide, I said ‘Today was perfect’ to him. Many thanks.☺️ (The pizza restaurant you recommended was excellent)

Roman our tour guide was great. He took us to a spot that overlooked Nice which was amazing. We enjoyed the wine tasting and the perfume factory. Our tour was in the off season so the town of Gourdon was pretty much closed down but still was a beautiful view.
