Fantastic 5.0

I highly, highly recommend this tour, five stars for the tour guide! It's a small group, and everyone is well taken care of. The tour guide is very enthusiastic and not only introduces all the attractions along the way but also shares a lot about French culture, eating habits, etc., and helps us take beautiful photos. The whole itinerary is perfectly arranged, and there is enough time in each village. Although many shops were closed in February, the weather was very comfortable, and there weren't many tourists, so it was very chill to walk around. I'm so glad I chose this tour.

Great 4.0

The bathroom was very clean. The dishwasher had a sour smell when opened, and the cutlery was a step down compared to another chain we stayed at in Nice. It takes half an hour to get there by metro from St. Charles station to Perier station. The nearest exit has escalators for both up and down. If you find this exit inconvenient, you can use the other side to take the tram for your usual comings and goings.
