Open-top 3-wheel car tour from Nice to Eze and Cap Ferrat, with Mont Alban views and a Fragonard perfume workshop.
“Great fun. Zachariah took good care of us. He took time to explain how the cars worked, allowed us to practice and ensured that we had turns being in the front, back or middle. Saw some great sights. Stops were just enough time to give us a short break and to allow for refreshments etc. Instructions say to wear a hat, but there is a risk of this blowing off while driving. Either wear a tight hat or don't bother. As a person with short arms, I felt that I needed to lean forward a lot when driving but I soon got used to it.”

Guided day trip from Nice to the Gorges du Verdon with waterfalls, Castellane, Moustier-Sainte-Marie, and Lake Sainte-Croix, plus lavender in season.
“Verdon Gorge is a beautiful place, a worth visit if you are in Nice. The tour is sightseeing for the first part and optional water sports at the Lake Saint Croix in the evening, so a good balance of adventure and relaxing. Make sure you reach the lake early (you can reduce/shorten the stops for sightseeing and lunch), so that you have an hour at least to be on the beautiful blue waters of the lake. We had a great guide, Isa. She was very helpful and friendly, and also gave us lot of information about the French Riviera. She also recommended very good spots for dinner. The vehicle was…”

Half-day road trip from Nice to Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence with hotel pickup, quick scenic stops, and art-stroll time.
“We expected a historical synopsis on this long drive but our guide did not communicate well. We would have preferred someone who spoke better English. It was not an enjoyable experience. All we got is there’s Old Town, there’s the back of old town. You can go here and walk around for 45 minutes, you can go there for 20 minutes. Here’s Cannes, here’s some big boats. Not at all what we expected. All we really had was a driver for $250.00.”
