“Beautiful day in Antibes and Cannes”
We used Anna for two separate tours during our trip to the South of France, and we’re so glad we did. On our first day, we explored Nice, Èze, and Monaco — places we never could have covered so efficiently or enjoyably on our own. On the second day, we visited Antibes and Cannes. I honestly can’t say enough about how much more enjoyable both days were because we spent them with Anna. I’ve traveled extensively, and Anna is truly one of the best guides I’ve ever had. Her English is excellent, so communication was seamless. The tours were well-paced, never rushed, and even included time for souvenir stops. Anna also coordinated perfectly with her husband, who picked us up at various points, making the logistics smooth and maximizing our time. Anna's warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made our time in the South of France even more special. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna and her husband — they were a true highlight of our trip.

Dear Amy, Thank you again for such a lovely second day together! It was a real pleasure to explore more of the Riviera with you and your family.

“2 days with Ana”
We used Anna for two separate tours during our trip, and we’re so glad we did. On our first day, we explored Nice, Èze, and Monaco — and there's no way we could have covered so much ground on our own. I’ve traveled extensively, and I can honestly say Anna is one of the best guides I’ve ever had — truly exceptional. She is a consummate professional and did a fantastic job understanding the dynamic of our family of four. She was especially great with my teenage daughters, making the experience both fun and engaging for them. One thing that really stood out: we never once had to ask her to take a photo. She instinctively knew all the best spots and always offered to capture the moment — a small gesture that made a big impact. Her English is excellent, and communication was effortless. The tours were perfectly planned — she never rushed us, made sure we had time for a souvenir stop, and coordinated seamlessly with her husband, who met us with the car at various points to save time and energy. Not a single moment was wasted. I wholeheartedly recommend Anna and her husband. Their attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism made our time in the South of France even more memorable.

Dear Amy, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a thoughtful and generous review! It was an absolute pleasure to spend those days with you, your husband, and your two wonderful girls. I'm so glad you enjoyed both tours and felt that everything was well-paced and tailored to your family — that means a lot to me. Your daughters were a joy to guide — curious, kind, and full of positive energy. It was lovely to see them so engaged throughout the day! And I’m thrilled to hear that the little touches, like helping with photos, made a difference — capturing memories is part of the magic, after all. Please send my warmest regards to your family. I hope our paths cross again one day — the Riviera will be waiting! With best wishes, Anna

“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.
