• 5Not to be missed!

  Very interesting in depth talks. I felt as if I really had insights into the area, its history and geography. Samuel was friendly and interactive with his guests. A surprising gourmet luncheon.

• 5Definitely Recommend !!

  Had an amazing time on this tour all thanks to Cyril. Unfortunately there was an accident on the tracks so we couldnt do the original planned tour and had to leave much later than expected but Cyril made sure to keep us occupied with other sights to see and still got us to the alps using different trains. He took us through a village that his grandfather lived in and it was amazing and shared so many fun facts about the history along the way. Absolutely recommend this tour we all had an amazing time.

• 5The tour was excellent and our Guide Cyril was so much better

  This was the most looked forward to event of our trip as my wife loves train rides. You get your money's worth on this tour. This review will have a lot to say about the sights and our tour guide Cyril. The actual tour. The villages were beautiful, the train ride was so scenic and just kept getting more beautiful the farther we got into the French Alps. We visited three different towns and spent 1 to 2 hours in each so there was plenty of time to take pictures, shop a little, and explore each place we went. Our guide Cyril narrated and provided information about each town we visited and provided back story to how each town existed hundreds of years ago when travel was all on foot or donkey. Much of the detail was truly fascinating as I love history and learning about other cultures. I would highly recommend this tour just for the places it goes and the things you see. We met at the train station and Cyril was there and greeted us warmly. He went into the cafe and got us both a beverage to drink without even a thought. On the train ride portions he provided narration and historical background of where we were and our next stop. Cyril was so warm and personable. He made the day just wonderful. He magically had things and offered us stuff all throughout the day. I was amazed at the things he brought with him in his backpack....it was kind of like a magic hat that just kept producing wonders. If we had trash....he took it and made it disappear, every place we went he was prepared. if we were thirsty, he made bottles of water or soda magically appear. I know this all sounds funny but it happened a dozen times throughout the trip for all the people on our tour. In Saorge, in a garden of an old monastery, Cyril produced a bottle of wine and a homemade Pissaladière which is an onion tart that he made himself and brought for us to try. It was delicious. We all took a break and enjoyed what he made and sipped a delightful white wine. it was a long walk to the top where we were at and we needed the rest. Again Cyril was a magician. Cyril is very French and not in snobby way. He was proud of his home in Nice and the surrounding countryside but was also hilariously funny and open to questions. He had lunch all ready for us and helped the restaurant serve us. Then brought us ice cream afterwards. Again he was just everywhere helping us all and being the most excellent host. On our return to the station we had part of our tour trying to get on the correct train to go to Ville la Franche and he helped them get the tickets and got them on the right train before escorting the rest of us out of the station. If you get Cyril, expect an excellent day with tons of knowledge, humor, and local color on the Nice region. Tip him well as he deserved every cent.

• 5Well-guided Views, Culture, and Cats

  Awesome experience seeing places I never would have found on my own made even better by the friendly and knowledgeable guide Sofia. Especially loved Saorge with its monastery and cats!

• 5Great Day Out

  We loved our tour to the French Alps, would highly recommend booking with Sofia if you can! Sofia was an excellent guide throughout our trip. She is extremely knowledgeable about the area and so so friendly! During our excursion she answered any questions we had and even went out of her way to show us hidden gems. The excursion is a full day of sightseeing and stories about the history of these small towns. We also had a true French lunch with some of the best food from our trip, the group espresso at the end was wonderful! You can tell Sofia wants you to enjoy the excursion and learn new things along the way. We would recommend this trip for anyone looking for a beautiful day in the French Alps with a great guide. Thank you Sofia, you were a true highlight of our trip!
