We had an extraordinary experience of at these locations, we visit Valbonne, Gourdon and they showed us the process of making a perfume, which I found very interesting. The guide gave an outstanding service: was very professional, helpful, friendly and we always felt his attention to detail was perfect.

We arrived that day from a cruise ship. We were a family of 4 and traveled to the South of France with my twin sister. This was my first time to Europe and I was very nervous to say the least. We were extremely fortunate to have found Shore Excursioneer. The guide was perfect, he knows the ins-and-outs of all the areas for views, restaurants, shopping, and adventure. He exceeded expectations and truly become part of our family. My favorite part was our free time in Gourdon. Was a lovely day!

We were traveling with an older family member. Our guide was great, he explained it all very good. He was super friendly and most importantly, he adapted the tour to our needs, considering we had a senior person in our group. Full day excursion and was perfect, as we were worried about the excursion being that long, but it was truly a great experience.

My husband and I had the opportunity to visit Villefranche Countryside with our amazing tour guide. He did a great job of showing you around all of the sights and even some hidden gems. He is incredibly funny and knowledgeable! I cannot recommend him and this excursion enough! I purchased some wine at Chateau de Bellet. LOVED THIS DAY!

We are always traveling, and we found Shore Excursioneer when we were researching tours, so we decided to book this trip. Our transportation was great but the best part was the most beautiful scenery. Without giving away too much, we have done a few tours on our travels, and this was, without doubt, the best one we have done. Excellent value for money. Fragonard perfume factory is a must!

The first stop during our tour was Grasse, in here we visited the perfume museum and learned about the procedure of perfume making, I purchase a lavender soap that smells heavenly!! Then we went to Valbonne where we walked this beautiful medieval town and our guide recommended a small french restaurant which served delicious food. The wine tasting took place in a castle that is just something out of this world, impressive architecture, and movie-like landscapes. We tasted red, white and rosé, all of them tasted really good. This is a whole day tour that is totally worth the time and money, thank you for the recommendation Shore Excursioneer.
