Let us design a custom route based on your wishes, whether it’s a desire to explore the beautiful back-country gorges of the French Riviera, drive the iconic Route Napoleon, visit the “Grand Canyon of France”, the Gorges du Verdon, cruise the riviera coastline, or follow in the footsteps of World Rally Car champions in the hills behind Nice.

Your guide will meet you at your hotel to review your vehicle and give a brief overview of traffic rules and the day’s route.
Then the adventure begins!

- Vehicle and route briefing
- 1 day car rental (delivery and pick-up included) with insurance and reduced deductible
- Lead car with guide
- Hand-held radio to communicate with the lead car

Dirk planned the most extraordinary trip for us. Every detail was so well thought out. We were so very well taken care of in every moment. The cars were gorgeous. The drives were exhilarating and stunningly beautiful. The beauty of the roads we traveled took my breath away over and over again. This was a trip I will certainly never forget and will be extremely hard to top. I can’t recommend this experience enough! If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

DATynes Fall 2024Truly a trip of a lifetime!!! "WOW" seemed to be a consistent word that we all said each and every day! Dirk was an amazing host, guide and translator of anything French! He planned each day to perfection. It took a couple of days to feel comfortable with the narrow roads, French ways of driving, crazy motorcycles along with lots of round abouts---but after that we were good to go!!! Thank you Dirk for all that you did to make our trip such a success!!! Gold stars across the board!Visited in September 2024Read more

The French Riviera driving tour led by Dirk overly exceeded our expectations! He knows his old southern French towns (and even one day spent in Italy), and most importantly the best dining spots! Time normally spent searching for stops and restaurants was instead enjoyed with more time enjoying the countryside! Our group had never met prior to the trip, yet we had the best time together and ALL agreed that the tour and food along the way was magnificent. It truly is an exciting and fun way to tour this part of France. Not to mention the little surprises Dirk gifted us with along the way!

We enjoyed a fabulous French Riviera
Mini Cooper driving tour to some areas that were so serene and spectacular that we would have never ventured to or found on our own. We ate at some restaurants that we would have not known they existed, had Dirk not made it part of our tour. It was definitely an unforgettable experience that we will always cherish! You definitely want this on your travel bucket list!Read more -
Beth W. Fall 2022
An exceptional vacation experience! Riviera Driving Tours took us on the trip of a lifetime through the charming villages and beautiful vistas of southern France. We loved zipping along the scenic roads in our cute little Mini Cooper parade, stopping for photo ops on clifftops, amazing meals in historic towns, picnics overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to every detail. He went above and beyond to ensure each guest had the perfect trip. Great food, fabulous wine, exciting driving, unique experiences - it all adds up to the most memorable European vacation! We will definitely use Riviera Driving Tours again.

Ivy S. Fall 2022
Our trip exceeded our expectations in every possible way. From the moment we arrived we felt like everything was taken care of for us and we could just enjoy our trip! The meals and hotel were incredible, and we were able to see so much more than we would have on our own because of Dirk’s knowledge of the area and leading the way. One of my favorite experiences was cruising up to a small town in Italy with incredible views and having lunch at a local family- owned spot in the country. We would have never found that on our own. JP, the wine guy, left a big impression as well. He was fun and had a vast knowledge of wine. Undoubtedly one of the greatest trips of our life that we will never forget! I cannot say enough good things!

Josef S. Fall 2022
First, let me tell you (yet again) that we had the most amazing trip ever!! The reason we had such an amazing time is because you have put so much energy, thought, and effort into every part of this trip. We came to you not really knowing what to expect and somehow you still managed to exceed anything we could have imagined. The driving was amazing, the cars were spectacular (hard to not have fun when driving a Porsche), the food and wine were out of this world, and the accommodations were lovely. In short, we put our trip in your hands without knowing what to expect and this was hands down the best trip ever! Thank you again Dirk!!

This was the best travel decision we have ever made! Neither words nor pictures can do the trip justice. It is superbly planned to the infinite detail but you never feel like you are being pushed or pulled. I would take this tour in any country it is offered. Right now, it is only offered in the south of France. If you have a bucket list you should seriously consider putting this trip on it and moving it to the very top!
