The 15 Best Hilltop Village Tours from Nice

50 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.5 average  ·  from $42

Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Gourdon, Tourrettes-sur-Loup, Grasse and Vence: ramparts, galleries and lanes too narrow for cars, all within an hour inland. These 15 tours differ mostly on how many villages they attempt in a day — three done properly beats five done from the window.

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.”

“We were attracted to this great tour because it only included the small medieval towns and Grasse, where my grandfather learned to make perfume at the same time as Fragonard. It was a special tour because of that and our fantastic guide Phillipe! He made it special with anecdotes and history facts. We world love to return one day. Definitively with booking. Merci!”

Grasse, Valbonne and Gourdon day tour with Fragonard perfume tour and Bellet wine tasting. Small group from Cannes or Nice.

“We had a lot of good fortune on this day out. To begin with, all of the others booked on the trip dropped out, so we had a tour by Sebastian all to ourselves. We were also blessed by brilliant weather. It was a sunny day with good visibility, which made the landscapes spectacular and the view from Gourdon absolutely brilliant. Sebastian was good at keeping the pace of the tour moving along so that we arrived in the right place at the right time. For me, the highlight was the lunch in Valbonne. For my wife, she rather enjoyed the tour of Fragonard in Grasse. We both found the…”
