Nice Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

Being a native from Villefranche-sur-Mer, in the heart of the French Riviera, a little fishermen's village located right between Nice and Monaco and facing the world-famous Cap Ferrat, I grew up in the valley outside Nice and started to discover the cities of the Côte d'Azur as a young boy with my parents and family, later on as a teenager with my friends. After studying corporate public relations, I had one of the best opportunity of my life, something that I secretly always wished, to go live in United States, working for the famous Sun Valley ski resort for two years in Idaho as a restaurant and banquet manager. When I came back to Nice, I went back to school to be graduated as a French professional tour guide and lecturer in English and Spanish, then i started to work as a tour guide in different tour companies and quickly decided to face a new challenge by opening a tour guide company that will look more like me, which means showing my region as a local to my clients and make sure they feel as with friends, all along their stay, not just when they are with me for the tour. Providing private professional guided tours today for shore excursions or visitors staying in various hotels in Cannes, Monaco or Nice is obviously the greatest and most enjoyable job that suit me, as natural and sincere I can be, it pushes me on being exceptionally great every day because my guest deserves so much coming from so far to discover our region, i only have one day to stay in their memories for a very long time, showing you the best places around the French Riviera. Since 2007, me and my team of native born and raised professional tour guide are specialized in providing private tours on the French Riviera, which mean that we adjust our tours with your requests and wishes, we have had a lots of unique and very interesting experiences that we will always remember because of sharing unique life moments.

Having more than 15 years of experience as an environmental consultant in different structures in France and abroad, I am now reorienting myself toward an activity that has always fascinated me. Eco-tourism and contact with people from different parts of the world are an environment in which I like to evolve. I take the opportunity to enrich this activity with my professional knowledge and my skills in environmental project management and local culture. We are a team of professional guides, with a lot of experience behind us, each specialising in different areas. We cover different disciplines such as: geology, biology, photography, marine biology. Furthermore, we are of different nationalities, which makes us even more valuable and versatile.

My name is Dorothee and I will be your host here in beautiful Nice, France. I can say that I am the type of person who is active, and curious, who enjoys new projects. Born in Paris, I studied in Nice and I am an official trilingual tour guide since 2005. I am also a photographer, reporter, videomaker and casting director. I find everything creative very interesting, the same is the case with tourist guiding, it is something that is dynamic, always interesting and never the same. I like to connect with people and create cultural interactivity, share my experiences about the diversity of our culture, history and people. I created a non-profit organization to highlight and protect our heritage, I like to combine tourism and art and listen to what others have to say. As a tourist guide, besides Nice, I also worked in Paris, Spain, Italy, and Portugal I ve been a tourist guide teacher as well and I wrote 10 travel' guides about Peru and Argentina for the web : great advices, restaurants, history and itineraries, not to miss ... illustrated with pictures. Very useful. I consider myself as open-minded, friendly and kind person and I am looking forward to meeting you in my Nice so we can have a chat and fun together.

I am a licensed guide and I have been a guide for several years now. I am passionate about creating unique and memorable experiences that are normally available only to locals or insiders. My specialty is helping clients understand how people live here, how they think, how they eat, and what a French Riviera lifestyle actually feels like and of course its history in very easy and pleasant form. I adapt my tours depending on each client. Going hand in hand with an Official Guide guarantees to your guests a quality visit.

PANORAMA : Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Eze, Monaco, Monte-Carlo

“Professional, articulate, and knowledgeable: Absolutely worth having Anna B. as our personal guide. ”

We have never been to France and had no idea what to expect. Hiring a guide was a no brainer and we wanted the luxury transportation of a Mercedes Van that was spacious for all three of us. From the moment we met them at our hotel we were impressed. They arrived early to greet us and provided expert led guidance every step of the way as we explored Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Eaze. The cabin temperature was as we wanted with back controls to manage the temperature so that we had ice cold comfort when we traveled and returned from our city tours. Having Anna personally educate us as we drive and toured was amazing. She has her husband drive so that we could have her undivided attention from the moment we boarded the Mercedes. Her husband Ben is a very safe driver and we never felt concerned about our safety. Ben was incredibly focused at all times with his eyes on the road navigating the traffic. What is incredible was the detail explanation including large scale pictures that Anna kept referencing and sharing during every scenic tour stop. With the architecture being so old it was incredibly insightful to see old photos and comparing these to the actual buildings as we stood there. She even has a laser pointer that she uses to point out even the smaller of details which made us feel so educated. During our tour we saw other “group tours” where the guides did not seem to have the same level of professionalism. This made us feel incredibly satisfied that we paid top dollar for Anna who quite honestly conducted herself as professional as a museum curator. If you are considering a guide you I will promise that Anna is without a doubt the best guide we have ever had the pleasure of using. Every single detail and experience was perfect. We never felt rushed or hurried. Thank you Anna and Ben for taking such great care of our small party of three. You EXCEEDED OJR EXPECTATIONS. 100% SATISFIED.
