What people are saying about Saint-Paul de Vence

What a fabulous tour!!! A fantastic way to see so many places in the one day and Nora was so knowledgeable and helpful with anything we wanted to know or see. The reviews I read before I booked were very helpful in advising that the tour isn’t so much of a stop and wander around tour (though we did do that for an hour at St Paul de Vence as well as Eze) but rather a whistle stop, see a little of everything, type day. Highly recommend!!!

It was a way of seeing so many places all in one day. The day was long but a good one. If you are taking this tour, wear very comfortable shoes, and be ready for stairs and inclines. Be prepared for a long wait at a restaurant for lunch. That said, it was picturesque and well worth it. Our guide was a very friendly guy who made us feel comfortable.

This was amazing! Our guide picked us up from our AirBnB and we had a private tour of Provence. We visited several villages & towns and our guide made sure we had plenty of time at each. We learned so much from our guide!

Our tour guide Nora was awesome. I really enjoyed the tour. I met nice people as well. We spent just enough time to get a feel for each city.

Nora was lovely. She was incredibly knowledgeable and also give us tips on things to do and places to eat!
