What people are saying about Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

I travelled with my husband and kids last Christmas. We were fortunate to have Jean Marc as our tour guide. You can tell he’s passionate for Marseille, very knowledgeable, easy to communicate with and flexible. He walk us through truthfully hidden gems while explaining the city in a fascinated way. He gave us a glimpse of Marseille and sure enough made us want to come back!

I had an excellent one-on-one visit with Jean-Marc, a passionate (and passionate!) resident of the 7th arrondissement of Marseille. I recommend him with eyes closed and will not hesitate to call on him again in the future!

We had a gorgeous time with Nicola. She introduced us to Antibes history, to Pablo Picassos live and art work and did a fantastic art lesson with us. It was a great experience for the whole family. Thank you!

A brilliant experience with sunset and night scence. The captain and guide were kind and enthusiastic, I’ve got a lot of nice shots.
