Visiting unique and memorable places for all of us
Olivia Saha9. Décembre, 2024 I first connected with Alain through a South of France travel group. From the start, Alain was incredibly patient, answering all my questions and helping us plan what to expect during his tour in Nice. The tour itself was fantastic! It was a small group, which made the experience more personal and allowed us to get to know the other participants. Alain shared fascinating historical details and descriptions of the sights, but he did so in a way that kept everything engaging and easy to follow. The highlight of the tour was a wonderful surprise at the end—a breathtaking view of Nice that I’ll never forget. Alain was so friendly and easy to talk to, it genuinely felt like spending the day with a friend. If you're visiting Nice for the first time, I highly recommend booking a tour with Alain. It’s a great way to explore the city, learn about its history, and enjoy some beautiful moments along the way. Teresa Britton8. Novembre, 2024 We had such an amazing day with Alain from Nice Excursion! I can’t say enough good things about him. Alain took us to hidden gems we’d never have found on our own, sharing his knowledge of the area’s history along the way. He’s kind, friendly, and truly feels like a friend you’re just hanging out with for the day. He was also super flexible, letting us customize the tour to see and do exactly what we wanted. He even sent us recommendations for things to do on our own, which was so helpful! If you’re considering a tour, don’t hesitate—Alain is the perfect guide to explore this beautiful area with, and we’d absolutely book with him again next time we’re here. Michelle Krouner24. Octobre, 2024 Alain was beyond spectacular. We spent three days with him and his driver Ciril. He showed us places that we never would have had the opportunity to see and experience. He is warm and full of knowledge and the most amazing tour guide we could have hoped for. Anne Scanlan21. Octobre, 2024 Thank you Alain for an amazing tour of Gourdon, Tourrettes-Sur-Mer and Saint Paul de Vence! We enjoyed the fantastic views, your fun company and your immense knowledge about the area. We have been exploring the seaside villages on our own using public transportation, but today we got to see incredible places we would have missed without a car. It was a lovely mid-vacation break as well to be chaperoned and driven. Highly recommend. UPDATE: It turns out that my husband left his credit card behind yesterday in Gourdon. Because Alain has developed genuine friendships with the locals, a shopkeeper gave it to him today. Alain immediately called us and insisted on coming to us after he completes his tour today. Add honest, thoughtful and caring to the list of adjectives to describe him. What more can you ask? Jim Scanlan20. Octobre, 2024 We booked a 1/2-day tour with Alain (and top-notch driver Cyril) through Gourdon, Tourrettes-Sur-Loup, and Saint Paul de Venice. An absolute joy! Alain’s knowledge of the history of the region and of the separate villages themselves was incredible. He loves what he does, and it shows. At no time during our village stops did we feel rushed. I wholeheartedly recommend Alain’s wonderful tour! Caren Farrelly19. Octobre, 2024 The 9 hours we spent with Alain were the highlight our trip. Together we planned an itinerary that hit all the places we wanted to see as well as spots that we did not know existed. He and his driver picked us up as promised and off we went for a day of beautiful mountains, coastline, medieval villages, art and great conversation. The process from our first email through the end of the day was smooth and I can’t wait to return and tour with Alain again. Lois Lavan15. Octobre, 2024 Alain, the owner/founder of Nice Excursion is exceptional! We spent two full days with him and his driver and thoroughly enjoyed our personalized tours of Menton, St Paul de Vence, Villefranche, Tourette sur Loupe, and we even ventured into Italy. He is very knowledgeable and knew just where to stop for wonderful vistas and photo ops. Alain provides an unparalleled experience and you will thoroughly enjoy his narration while his driver expertly negotiates the often winding roads through the gorgeous scenery. Ilissa Wellen10. Octobre, 2024 We had the most amazing experience with Nice Excursions! Alan picked us up at our hotel and took us to 3 different villages. The entire day was perfect. We were with our two daughters (age 6 and 9). They loved it - Alan was so engaging and kept their interest the entire day!!! Overall a 10/10!! Elias Vestergaard8. Octobre, 2024 Great experience visiting surroundings of Nice with a great guide. Alain made it interesting for me as an 14 year old teenager and my elder brother. I recommend him highly but be aware when playing Uno with him, he’s cheating Haha 😁 Andrea Egan4. Octobre, 2024 I HIGHLY recommend Alain from Nice Excursion for touring the French Rivera. An amazing day even in the rain, exploring 4 of the most beautiful villages in France including Eze. Alain was the most enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide and his driver was fantastic even on the wet roads up to the villages. Alain stayed with us and gave us great insight into these incredible places. We did a private tour with our teenage girls who loved it too! Great website and excellent communication. 5 ⭐️
