    The perfect private tour from Cannes!
    We had a wonderful private tour by Ruben from Cannes France. We spent 9 days traveling through Europe and took many private tours but this tour far exceeded the others. I highly recommend! Make sure you ask for Ruben!

    Save your money!
    This was basically just a ride to these different towns, not at all as advertised in the description.... in fact, we didn't even go to 25% of the places listed nor did the driver even give us any information, he was silent most of the tour! When we tried to ask questions, his response was "what would you like to know?" vs. giving us a guided tour. And then he dropped us in these towns and left.... we had to fend for ourselves the entire day. The towns were gorgeous however this certainly wasn't guided... it really was just a ride from town-to-town.

    Excellent day trip with an excellent guide.
    We enjoyed an excellent full day tour of interesting places within a short drive from Nice. Our guide, Daniel, was very friendly, punctual and informative and spoke perfect English, amongst other languages. I would highly recommend this day tour.

    Nice Trip for a Quick Iverview
    The half a day trip to Ez Village, Monaco and Monte Carlo was a very nice trip and provides a nice overview of Monaco. Ez is amazing and so unique. The perfume factory at Ez was very educational. I would recommend this tour.

    Absolutely marvelous! Best tour guide. Most memorable excursions in a mere 5 hours. Eze was jaw droppingly beautiful. Monte Carlo surreal and Monaco the cherry on the cake

    Do NOT stake this tour
    If I could give this less than one star, I would. The driver was rude grumpy and the meeting point and communication was impossible other than telling us to meet at the train station in nice which was horrible. We barely saw lavender and the driver didn’t even know what we were talking about. The itinerary, and the tour was not followed. He did not give us any information about where we were going or what we were doing. When we asked he snapped at us! We were just driving around with no sense of what was next and at one point we didn’t even know where to find him after he left the parking lot. We didn’t even have his number to reach him! Do not take this tour. I will never take another tour with zero reviews!!

    My best advice I can give is, don’t fall in love in Nice. Our tour guide was amazing, so amazing that my sister fell in love with him and asked him out for dinner, to which he later could not attend. I strongly recommend this tour, but only if you are not prone to falling in love with young European men.

    Good Long Day - good way to see the sights
    Picked up about 15 minutes later than expected, were worried we had the wrong spot. Driver/guide friendly. Time spent in car collecting other passengers before going to Cannes. Cannes was a long drive, spent about 1.5 hours in car with crew as bad traffic. Nobody wore masks so if concern for COVID maybe not the tour for you. Spent 40 minutes at Cannes which was 20 minutes too long. Then went to Antibes - only saw the port and port area. Did not enjoy this area, very hot and shops don’t want you to use restroom if not paying for sit down meal/drink (even takeaway not enough to use toilets). Tour went better after these stops with breaks in St Paul de Vence (a highlight), Eze (similar to St Paul de Vence) and some stops along way to take photos of scenery. Eze is very similar to St Paul so could miss doing these on the same day and would be okay. We did also stop at a perfume factory before Eze which felt like a cash grab. Spent about 1 hour here. Didn’t really like the perfume so didn’t buy any despite them making you go through the large gift shop to exit. You had to go on the tour which we didn’t find enjoyable but not our area of interest. Then went to Monaco, visited the palace which was very nice - guide relaxed about us going into cathedral and happy to take photos for us. Didn’t get to stop at Monte Carlo - only a quick drive past. Overall, I’d say we spent about 3.5 hours in the car and it was a long day - not getting back until 7pm. Some people on the tour weren’t interested in making friends and listened to the AirPods, interesting when in a small car together for a long duration. A great way to see all the sights (except St Tropez and Nice) but prepare to be exhausted afterwards! Bring sunblock and plenty of water plus hats if attending in summer. Lots of time spent outdoors . Our guide was friendly but had lots of opinions and spent lots of time vaping which is common for France - not in the car though.

    Lovely!!!
    Lovely time! Gave us a good sample of the area and enough time to enjoy them. Tour guide was professional, very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. We would recommend him to others. One negative is : a microphone would have been appreciated. Hard to hear guides commentary in the back.

    Great tour
    For one day to visit many cities and beautiful villages it was great and I recommended anyone to get this tour. The only thing that i gave 4 star because of the tour guid her name was Juliana when she was speaking we couldn’t hear her voice because we sat down behind the van and you feeling she was explaining to the only guys that they sat down next to her ( she was driving) and I told her many times! Also she doesn’t have speakers which is Basic thing needs for the tour guid, otherwise I enjoyed my tour and saw fantastic villages during one day.

Mostly driving about 7 hours stuck in a van in the back full of people with little ventilation because one group kept shutting off the air. Masks were not enforced in the van, and no proof of vaccinations yet I was supposed to feel safe? Driving winding roads at high speeds, barely time to eat. Beautiful scenery but not worth it during a pandemic.

Hello, We are very sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy this tour, but i see that your not talking one minut about the landscapes, canyons, lavanders or villages that you saw. First of all the minivan wasn't full there were a total of 6 persons and the maximum aload is 8 persons. Of course i agree with you, its a 10 hours tour wich is quiet long with 6 hours driving and not seven but if you stay in Nice and want to visit the grand canyon and the lavender fields is not possible to drive less, and i remind you that its a sightseeing tour with minivan, not a Private helicopter tour... Concerning the air conditioning you were in a luxury high class minivan with air condicioning for each seats, so it doesn't mater if the client in the front doesn't put his one because you can arange your proper A/C over your seat... did you ask to the guide to do it for you if you were not able to do it yourself? Concerning the masks since the 1st of july is not an obligation to put the mask on if the minivan is not full but we have masks for peole who want to put it, did you put your mask? Or did you ask for a mask to the guide? There is no need of proof of vaccinations aswell but all of our guides are vaccinated this is the condition to work. So if you don't feel safe to travel in this pandemic time beter stay safe and take a private tour and not a shared tour with other persons.... To finish the driver guide did the tour in 10 hours so no high speed, the time to eat was respected (1 hour). Best regards.

The weather is good . The tour itinerary is also great. The problem is the guide Ruban, who seems in a hurry to rush home. All the stops in the canyon were only a few minutes , he stopped only 3 times to see the gorge and every stop lasts not more than 3 minutes! When asked if he would extend the time, the reply was “ how long do you want? An hour?” The Lac de Sainte Croix stop was less than 50 minutes. On the way back he drove straight into a pothole and it startling us and the force cause me to glaze my leg and bleed! Our tour supposedly last 10 hours he came back 90 minutes earlier.
We don’t understand the reason for hurrying and most of the group members were not happy and a perfect day was spoiled.

Hello mister Masterman... We are very sad to see your 1 star commentary, we think that its very rude for our young and new driver guide ruben, he is working for us since 2 months and we had only good reviews for him as you can see until your one.... we have been looking at all the reviews that you did give to many companys (more then 270... congratulation) you are a master of reviews and it seems that you give lot of bad reviews and that you are the kind of person that is very hard to please. Just for you to know the other clients that were on the same tour with you the same day they did give 4 and 5 stars to ruben so its a big difference with 1 star.... do you don't think that is a bit too much 1 star???? And let's talk about the tour, first of all the first pickup was at 7:30 am and the last drop at 5:20pm so the all trip did take 9:50 hours including pickups and drops, the gps of the minivan can proove it :) Then you don't talk about the 15mn free time at the waterfall, the 45mn free time in Castellane, the one hour free time in Moustiers sainte marie, you just talk about the 50mn at the lake witch was more 1hour and 10mn because you were late ;) and the stops for the photos at the canyon they are photostops!!! not a photobreak of 15mn... that's the timing and your the first client ever in to complain about that, its obvious that its not possible to stop 30mn at each place.... then we agree that ruben drived a bit fast we saw that with the gps, but please you glaze your leg and bleed... is it a joke, have you been to the hospital, doctor? We have insurance incase for that, can you proove it?? So we think that this review is not fair from your part. Best regards

Grand Canyon not easy to go by public transportation so that join a tour for it. So far comfortable and enjoyable. The driver so kind and nice. Time allotment also good. But just one point that booking ask for making pickup time confirmation that a bit hard to contact until the night before journey then feedback. Maybe write more clear on instruction would be better. The rest everything alright. p.s. this ac can’t find my booking as wrongly using other one for buying tour.

We had a great time with Parfait (not sure how to spell his name). He was a fun, knowledgeable, and a very accommodating travel guide. He knew everything about the places we saw and kept everyone engaged throughout the day which made the trip very enjoyable.
We were originally going to rent a car to visit the lake by the canyon but we didn’t really want to rent a car but now we’re glad we didn’t.

The tour was also smooth from pickup to drop-off and was very stress free. We would definitely recommend this tour.

It was a small group of 8 people. Our group guide who took us to the Grand Canyon was Parfait. He drove us through Gorges du Loup and showed us the 40 meter high waterfall, followed by Castellance and Gorges of the Vendon. We had plenty of time at every stop for sight seeing and for taking photographs. It was an all day tour and I cant recollect how many places we visited. Parfait was an excellent guide, first picked us from our hotels and then at every resort went through the historical background. I must say his timings were immaculate as he was spot on time from the time we were all picked up till he dropped us back to our hotels. He also took us to the Lavender fields and the day ended with the wine tasting session. It was a very enjoyable trip and I strongly recommend Star Tours. I must also thank Parfait for going that extra mile and ensuring that every passenger was being looked after well and all instructions being very clear and easy to follow that made the trip more enjoyable.
