What to expect

You'll travel by private 15-seater minibus through the Riviera's most significant sites, pausing to examine the layered history visible in streets and structures. Your guide will contextualise what you're seeing—explaining how Roman settlement shaped the coast, how Belle Époque prosperity reshaped towns, and how contemporary design fits into that continuum. Time is built in to explore local producers of perfume and ceramics, understanding their techniques firsthand. Food and wine stops let you taste Provençal ingredients and regional wines, though specific venues and menus remain flexible. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a checklist tour.

Good to know

Admission fees and meals aren't included, so budget accordingly. The minibus is wheelchair-accessible and prams are welcome. Infants need to sit on an adult's lap unless you arrange a specialist infant seat in advance. Nearby public transport is available if you prefer independent movement at any point.
