My family of four - husband, kids 11 and 14 took this magical tour with Ingrid. She picked us up outside our flat at 8:00AM and the adventure began from there. We started with a trip to Eze and arrived before it was too warm or crowded. She took us through all the back alleys and told us stories of Eze and the location in general. We then went to Antibes and walked around meeting shop owners and winding around the town. We ate lunch at an amazing restaurant that all four of us loved. Ingrid continued throughout the day telling us stories of the history of each location - both old and modern. We ended the day at St. Paul’s village and walked through shops and galleries. Not only is Ingrid knowledgeable about the history and surroundings, she is like hanging out with an old friend. Very comfortable and laid back the whole day. I would recommend her to anyone looking to understand about the culture, history and vibe surrounding Nice. Plus, she is very familiar with all the restaurants and shopping around Nice for recommendations. Five ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ingrid Schmucker is the best tour guide ever! We took 3 separate tours with her in the French Riviera and she was dependable, personable, very knowledgeable about the history and culture, the cuisine, and she knows all the hidden gems. Her driving was amazing and she knows all the amazing view points. She was very attentive to our interests, stamina level, and mobility and dietetic issues. She offered suggestions and options which turned out to be excellent! She gave suggestions on restaurants, and various means of transportation. She was one of the best Tour Guides we have ever experienced! She was very flexible, and an overall terrific guide expert. We strongly recommend her to anyone visiting the French Riviera!

This was the second time I had a private tour with Ingrid, who IS Kultours Private Tours. Ingrid is charming, quite knowledgeable and speaks several languages fluently. We focused on the Eastern French Riviera and she drove us to breathtaking photo stops and quaint places for cappuccinos and lunch. Eze is part of this tour, a must-see medieval mountainside village. Ingrid was with us every step of the way, with lots of interesting history and conversation throughout. She was very flexible in rerouting the tour to accommodate our interests, the time, and the weather. We felt like we were spending the day with an endearing friend. She is endorsed by Rick Steves, and spending a day with Ingrid will surely show you why!

Ingrid picked us up at our hotel in Villefranche-Sur-Mer right after breakfast and took us around to Eze, Antibes, and St. Paul de Vence over the course of a day. She was a fantastic guide - both knowledgeable and personable. She helped us avoid crowds and tourist traps at our destinations and shared a wealth of knowledge on the area while we drove. We were able to accomplish more in one day with her than we could have in several on our own. Our excursion with her has been a highlight of our trip. Thank you, Ingrid!

Unforgettable tour with Ingrid. My wife and I just completed our tour.A day trip starting in Antibes and went from there ~ she customized it for the things we wanted to see. She is so knowledgeable and gives an informative and entertaining experience. It was by far the highlight of our Nice experience. Schedule it at the beginning of your visit and it will provide a wonderful beginning and introduction to the are. Ingrid even went out of the way and took time to help us with a postal chore.

We contacted Ingrid for her Eastern Riviera tour several months ago. She was very prompt in her response and contacts. She picked us up at our hotel in Nice and was one of the best guides we have ever met. She was charming, helpful and knowledgeable. We were in her comfortable vehicle and went to spectacular vistas and wonderful villages. She had picked a great place with a fantastic view for lunch. When we mentioned sweets afterward she took us to a bakery named as one the best in the area. She explained the history of the area very well; we loved the entire tour.
Her total devotion was to our enjoyment. She suggested places to go and seemed to intuit our interests. I would say that if you ever have a chance to hire Ingrid and do not, you are a fool.

We were recently on a cruise ship docking for the day at Antibes. I contacted Ingrid to plan a private all day tour for us. She was very quick to respond , provided suggestions and was very detailed in her responses. She met us at the pier in Antibes and we started our journey.
Our tour included: Started in the Antibes market where we tried local foods and bought some to use for our picnic later in the day.( Also bought French Baguettes and cheeses in quaint shops in Antibes.) We loved walking through the narrow alleys of Antibes.
Then we drove up to the charming village of Gourdon, and walked around the village. Gourdon is one of the most beautiful villages of France. It is the balcony of Provence because of its stunning and breathtaking views.
Then Ingrid set up a picnic for us- she brought tablecloths, wine, utensils, and we relaxed and ate all the goodies we bought in Antibes. Can you even imagine a wonderful picnic in that area! We engaged in wonderful conversation and it was just amazing!
Then we drove through the marvelous Loup Valley towards another picturesque little village, Tourrettes sur Loup, known for its lovely handcraft. We saw beautiful old houses in the village that have their own individual charm and none of their windows look alike. Tourrettes is known for its many galleries, art boutiques and specialty shops where you can taste the candied violet flowers or violet ice cream.
Then we went to visit picturesque villages of France: Saint- Paul de Vence and also Vence.
We went to a café for drinks and had wonderful conversations. She was flexible if we wanted to stop in shops to buy something. We never felt rushed. We walked through lavender fields, and stopped for beautiful photo opportunities.
Ingrid is engaging, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, charming and passionate. We enjoyed every minute of our tour. Most of all she is so much fun to be with! We did not want it to end. You will be driving in her new luxurious Mercedes Van.
We have toured with guides all over the world and Ingrid is absolutely the BEST guide we have ever had. The itinerary she planned was beyond belief!
She is so respected that she leads tours for private companies throughout Europe, as well as the French Riviera and Provence.
Touring with Ingrid will be one of the highlights of your life! Ingrid is now our friend for life! We can’t wait to go back one day and spend more time touring with her.
There are many words to describe Ingrid and our tour with her: MAGNIFICENT, FABULOUS, WONDERFUL, BRILLIANT, GLORIOUS, AND EXTRAORDINARY!

This was the 2nd time we have booked an all day tour with Ingrid. We toured with her 7 years ago and knew if we went back to the South of France we had to go on tour with Ingrid again. She picked us up at our hotel at Cap du Ferrat. Her van is spacious and luxurious.
We started in Antibes- went to the famous market- bought cheeses, breads and treats for a mountain top picnic we had during the tour. Ingrid brings a tablecloth and chairs and had a delicious dessert for my husband's birthday. It was such a special time!
We went to many villages in the French Riveria and stopped for cafe breaks. She is so engaging it was delightful just being with her.
The scenery will take your breath away!
Ingrid is the ABSOULUTE BEST GUIDE! She is charming, knowledgeable, fun, and a beautiful person.
This will be a highlight of your trip. Be sure to book Ingrid in advance as she is in demand. What other guides has all EXCELLENT reviews on Trip Advisor. There must be a reason for that.
Thank you Ingrid, my dear for the wonderful tour you gave us! Love and miss you!

We had a fantastic family day out with Ingrid as our guide - two grandparents (60s), mum, dad and daughter (18 months).
We arranged an itinerary on the day; a trip to Antibes for a walk round the market and coffee, then to St Paul du Vance for a walk round the cobbled streets and lunch (Ingrid booked an amazing restaurant for us), finishing up at Monaco with a short walk round Monte Carlo and drinks at a cafe.
Throughout the day Ingrid adapted the itinerary to fit our requirements - including when our daughter needed nap times! Not too easy.
Highly recommend a private tour with Ingrid as it allowed us to fit so much in one day (8.30-5.30), at a leisurely pace, dropped off at the best point with guidance on where to go and what best to see. Ingrid provides great local knowledge and also a wealth of historical information and background, which added so much to the day.
Definitely worth the cost and recommend to any small group who is in the area for a short time, first time visitors and those who want to visit these fantastic places along the French Riviera with local knowledge and guidance.
Thanks again Ingrid for a fantastic day from me and all the family.

My wife and I just got back from vacationing in France, and our day trip with Ingrid to Antibes, Gourdon and St. Paul was easily one of the highlights. Ingrid has a lot of information and is a pleasure to hang out with ! I was unsure about whether a private tour was necessary to enhance our experience in the French Riviera, but I can now say a private tour with Ingrid exceeded all expectations and we would 100% use her again. If you’re lucky enough to find this tour option by spending a few extra minutes searching on TripAdvisor (rather than just using a TripAdvisor partner tour company), don’t miss out on an opportunity touring the French Riviera with Ingrid for a day or two!
