Step back into Medieval times

Train ride to the Alps was a fantastic experience. Seeing Tende and Saorge was like stepping back in history and being in Medieval France. Our guide (Samuel) was wonderful - he was very knowledgeable, personable, thoughtful and flexible with our requests. I would most definitely recommend this tour to someone looking for a change of pace and scenery from the the typical Cote D'Azur experience.
Exciting tour experience on a train

The guides were exceptional they went above and beyond to accommodate us. There was lots of walking and some of it very difficult to navigate for anyone who is older. We saw beautiful countrysides and ancient churches. Lunch was outside on picnic tables and very good. While it was exhausting, I am so glad we took the tour.

This was a very nice excursion. However it did involve a lot of walking and some people might not be up to it. According to my phone, that day I walked over 5 miles and climbed the equivalent of 15 floors. Although I’m over 60, I walk a lot so it wasn’t a problem for me but it could be for many people. The trip information should clearly state how much walking is involved and how much is uphill. You should be specific - how many miles/kilometers is it? What percentage is uphill ?

Great experience!

We had a very nice day outside Nice, in Alps with a beautiful view and fresh mountain air!
It was interesting to visit real Medieval town and to see how was were the streets and architecture that times.
We definitely recommend to visit monastery. I am not sporty person and going up to the hills was rather difficult, but it was each step worth to go to monastery. Local guide's excursion was awesome! Excellent experience!
Our guide, Helena, was very nice and helpful!
Thank you very much for nice time and unforgettable experience!

It was a beautiful trip, filled with breathtaking views throughout the day. Our tour guide was a local. However, the description is not clear. Our entire group of 8 people did not know we had to book ahead of time for the extra excursion (rafting, horseback riding, biking), therefore we all missed out on that, which we found very disappointing( the main reason I booked this for more money instead of a different tour!!) Our day was filled with many many churches, with no time for shops/ exploring the two towns independently. The lunch was included but we had to go where the tour guide choose. In addition there was extra fees for church and monetary (which I believe would make more sense to exclude in the price). The train ride is 2.5 hours one way! So be prepared for 12+ hours (not 10) of travel.
Excellent trip & guide

What a beautiful train ride up into the Alps. Our guide Samuel was so knowledgeable about the medieval cities of Tende and Sospel So enjoyed all the history of the area. Treated to a very nice lunch.
Amazing trip!

Let me preface by saying that I'm a travel agent that has been doing tours for over 30 years, and this was definitely one of the most unique tours I've ever done! I have a group of 8 and every one of us loved it! The scenery is beautiful, and the guides were so informative and helpful. We opted for the picnic lunch and it was more than we could have expected. I highly recommend!
Response from Host , Apr 2022

Our trip was canceled the day before we were supposed to go. I called to verify the pick up spot and was told that it was canceled because there weren't enough people booked. I was very disappointed.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
Hello dear Mrs. Kroll, we are so sorry you had this bad experience with us about this cancelation. Unfortunately when we have only 2 persons on the tour that is not enough for us to pay the professional guide, the train tickets, the food and the fees. Minimum number of participants is written on the general policy. I understand your disappointment but I don't understand your so severe bad review because we called you before to tell you that the minimum number was not met and we asked you if you was available to reschedule another day. We did the refund immediately. We apologies for the inconvenience and we hope we will be able to give proofs of our professionalism during your next trip on the French Riviera. Best regards
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
