Such a lovely day trip and it’s been a highlight of our time in Nice!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $156

“All the towns on our tour we’re lovely but we would have preferred more time in Gourdon, perhaps time for lunch, and in Saint Paul de Vence. Cannes was nice to drive thru but very busy and extra time there could have better been spent. Grasse was lovely as well but after the perfumery tour we had to have a very hurried lunch in a very busy cafe. All in all, we would have appreciated more time in the smaller towns.”
