About this tour

A seven-hour private tour along the French Riviera coast, stopping at charming villages and local food spots to sample regional dishes. You'll travel in your own vehicle with a driver, exploring lesser-known corners of the coastline and tasting what locals eat daily. Bottled water is provided, though meals and drinks aren't included, giving you flexibility to choose where and what you eat at each stop.

Highlights

  • Private vehicle and driver for the full seven hours
  • Hidden villages off the main tourist trail
  • Taste authentic Riviera specialities at local venues
  • Flexible meal times; eat what appeals to you
  • Coastal scenery between each stop

What to expect

Your driver will navigate quiet backroads connecting picturesque settlements where you'll stop to try regional food. Rather than a set itinerary with fixed meals, you'll have the chance to wander and sample items that catch your interest—perhaps a pastry from a neighbourhood bakery, cheese from a market stall, or a prepared dish at a modest bistro. The pace is relaxed; you're not rushed between locations. Expect a mix of driving and on-foot exploration in villages, with time to browse small shops and meet shopkeepers.

Good to know

Bring cash for food purchases, as some small vendors may not take cards. Wear comfortable walking shoes for village exploration. The tour suits all fitness levels since there's no strenuous hiking. Refusal of meals and alcohol is fine; you set your own budget and pace.
