"Phillipe is an exceptional driver and tour guide for Nice and the surrounding areas. My daughter and I hired Phillipe to take us up to the pre-Alps to visit some perched villages. I expected him just to drive us and we would visit until he took us back to Nice. Instead, Phillipe went above and beyond and planned the entire route, including making us reservations at a delicious, small village restaurant and Acted as our tour guide in every single village! We had a great day together. He is kind, funny and incredibly respectful. Very informative and flexible. He even came to our rescue on the day we were flying out when we needed a last-minute drive to the airport. I would highly recommend him. We had an amazing afternoon together."

Philippe was extremely accommodating with us through the planning of our quick visit and our tour. We had no agenda than other to see and feel the culture and history…and he delivered! It was a whirlwind tour and we are very grateful for the time he spent sharing his home and country pride with us. Appreciate and recommend business to anyone needing a guide.
