Our guide, Raphaël, was exceptional. From the start, he was incredibly welcoming and created a friendly, relaxed atmosphere for our small group.

His recommendations were spot on with what we wanted. This was probably our favorite day of the entire week we spent in the area! Not only did we see beautiful views of Cannes, Antibes, Juan de Pins, Lenin Islands, etc, but Phillipe brought a huge level of knowledge about the areas history that was so interesting.
