About this tour
A nine-hour private tour threading through four hilltop villages perched above the Côte d'Azur. Start in medieval Eze with its narrow stone lanes, then swing through Saint Paul de Vence's gallery-lined streets and Tourrettes-sur-Loup, known for violet cultivation. Top out at Gourdon, the region's highest village, before descending to the Saut du Loup waterfall. Your driver navigates the winding coastal roads while you soak in the views from a comfortable vehicle, returning you to your accommodation at day's end.

What to expect
Expect a lot of uphill and downhill walking through tight village alleyways—good shoes matter. Each stop offers cafés and shops, though food isn't included, so budget accordingly. The driver will handle tight hairpin bends on narrow mountain roads; if you're sensitive to winding drives, take motion sickness precaution. Between villages, you'll get stretches of scenic driving with Riviera views. The waterfall visit involves a short walk to the cascade itself. The day suits all fitness levels if you're prepared for stairs and cobblestones.
Good to know
Bring cash for café stops and village purchases—card uptake is patchy in smaller hamlets. Prams and infant seats available. Wear sturdy walking shoes; flip-flops won't cut it on medieval cobbles. Morning or afternoon light suits photography differently, so mention your preference to your guide.
