Day Trip to Saint Tropez

Fun factor

Overall rating

Value

Saint Tropez is beautiful and the guide was very nice but there were some limitations. First, the tour advertised the ferry from Saint Maxime and a visit to Grimaud on the return. However, we ferried from Grimaud and didn’t stop in Saint Maxime. Second, the time in the village was limited and we had only 3 hours, 11-2. The rest of the time was spent in transit. and picking up additional passengers. This tour needs to be extended for more time in Saint Tropez.

Tour guide does not speak English well

We were expecting the same tour guide we had from Nice
Our tour guide had a hard time speaking in English and we could barely understand her
Though the wine tasting was a good suggestion since most shops in Port-Grimaud was closed and there was nothing to do
Tour guide picked us up late.

Visited St. Tropez which in part has retained its charm of once being a simple fishing village, despite the streets scattered with brand name clothing and perfumes. Due to a 30 min delay (a nearby road accident, and we were helpfully informed of the likely delay) in our pick up, traffic from Nice to St Tropez was busy and hence on the advise of our guide (Nicholas Kolesnikoff - who had an excellent sense of humour and spoke and understood English very well ), we did not stop at Port Grimaud, however we did drive past and one could see some buildings on the man-made(?) islands in the river estuary. In St. Tropez we had approx 2.5hrs to stroll the streets, have lunch and/or simply people watch. A very attractive area of the cote d’azur.

I highly recommend Livenup, the office administration was good, and while the tour cost looks expensive, with over a 170mile round trip and noting we were on tour for just over 8.5hrs, it was fair value. The scenery is also fabulous, in my opinion similar to the Amalfi coast and Adriatic areas. Thank you (Nicholas and Livenup) for a memorable experience.

Tour company called the night before and changed departure by one hour later...after a two and a half hour drive to St. Tropez (never stopped at Port-Grimaud) we were dropped off to shop and eat.....

By the time we got there, the market was closed (one of the main attractions in Nice for many of us who booked this tour).

The worst part was the driver who drove like a mad person....weaving in and out of traffic, speeding, and texting on the telephone at the same time.

A very very expensive cab ride---no explanation whatsoever on why we never visited Port-Grimaud....feeling pretty ripped off at this point, as did everyone else on the tour

Worst tour guide ever!!!

Without a doubt, this was the worst tour guide in our 40 years of traveling. Let me begin with his attitude.
Rude and uninformable are the best description. His appearance was that he just woke up, completely unprofessionable. We traveled as a group of 6, Sebastian talked for a total of 15 minutes during the entire tour. Half of which was trying to not stop at Port Gimuaud? along the way and to go to a winery that his friend worked at!!!
When we got to St. Tropez he told us he lived their for a winter and that was the extent of his dialogue. He drove at speeds of 145 kmh and all over the road.
Very "dangerous" with 7 people in that vehicle.
I have had better tours from taxi drivers at the spur of the moment. Let alone from a Trip Advisor #1 tour operator.

My called the next day and spoke with Nicole about the experience and informed him. We had another tour scheduled the next day and he demanded a better guide. Fred showed up and couldn't have been better.
In 5 minutes we learned more from Fred than we did in 6 hours with Sebastian.

We want a 50% refund on our tour with Sebastian. He was a total ass and a waste of our time. We could have hired a taxi driver and had a greater experience.
Their are 5 other people with similar experiences that are waiting for your response before they list their grievances publicly.
Sincerely, Patti and Joe Defilippi
