The trip was very fun and memorable. We have been to every scheduled places on time. The guide, Roman, are very informative and friendly person. He led us through the long-day while making sure everyone are safe and happy. 5 stars for him!

Great tour worth doing if you have a limited time in Nice but want to see a lot. Roman made it even better, thank you and we hope to see you again if we come to Nice soon.

It is a long day, but you get to rest in between stops on the drive. Off season so not too crowded, and traffic was light so we got plenty of time at the stops.
