Why travel with me
Private tours, expertise and attention to detail
My name is Kirill, and I help travellers discover the true flavours of France through its wine, food and culture. My work goes beyond excursions and tours: it is an immersion in a region's atmosphere, traditions, history and people.
I was born in Russia, in Rostov-on-Don, but have lived in France since I was 13. This country has become my second home and a true source of inspiration. Over 25 years, I have studied its culture and wine regions, turning that knowledge into my profession.
- Graduate of École du vin de Bordeaux, one of the world’s most prestigious wine schools
- Holder of the WSET Level 3 certificate, an international standard of qualification in wines and spirits
- A member of the French Sommelier Association, reflecting my commitment to high standards of wine service

Transport
Transport with a driver and comfortable logistics
Premium transport can be added to any itinerary. I organise the journey so you can forget about parking, navigation and traffic. Transport is priced individually, according to the number of guests, itinerary, season and vehicle class.
Start wherever suits you
Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Antibes or another town. Meet at your hotel, villa, port or airport, whichever is most convenient.
A flexible itinerary
The itinerary adapts to traffic, the season, the weather and your pace. No rigid timetables, just a comfortable rhythm for the day.
Safety and comfort
Licensed transport, insurance and knowledge of the roads and parking. You do not have to think about logistics: simply enjoy the journey.
Who it is for
Who are private excursions for?
First time on the French Riviera
See the main sights without struggling with maps, parking or timetables. The itinerary is designed to give you a coherent picture of the region in a single day.
Travelling with family or friends
A comfortable pace, adjustments for children and stops wherever you need them. None of the rigid constraints of a group excursion.
Interested in wine and gastronomy
Wineries, tastings, markets and local restaurants: I will show you the region’s gastronomic side, which can be difficult to discover on your own.
You want beautiful views and photographs
I know panoramic viewpoints you will not find in guidebooks. Photo stops are timed for the best light.
You would rather leave the logistics to someone else
Transport, timings, tasting reservations and restaurants: I take care of the organisation. You simply enjoy your day.
You value a personal approach
Every itinerary is unique. I prepare it around your interests rather than repeating a standard programme from a brochure.
Reviews
What guests say about the itineraries
“
Kirill showed us a side of the French Riviera we would never have discovered on our own. A winery in Bellet, lunch in a local restaurant you won’t find in guidebooks, and just the right pace: we never hurried, yet saw everything.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about excursions
How do I book an excursion?
Contact me through the website form, WhatsApp or email. Tell me your dates, number of guests and preferred itinerary. I will get back to you within 24 hours to discuss the details.
Is a deposit required?
Conditions are discussed individually. I usually ask for a partial advance payment to confirm a date, especially in high season and for itineraries with tastings.
Which payment methods are accepted?
Bank transfer, online payment or cash. Details are provided when booking.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend 2–4 weeks in advance, or a month during high season (June–September). But if you are already here, get in touch: I will try to find an opening.
Can we change the itinerary on the day?
Yes, the itinerary is flexible. If you would like to stay longer in one place or skip another, we can adapt. The important thing is not to disrupt bookings for tastings or restaurants.
Are the itineraries suitable for children?
Many itineraries can be adapted for families. Long day trips can be tiring for children under five; we will discuss this when you book.
What if it rains?
The itinerary is adapted, with more time in indoor venues, markets, museums and wine bars. Rain on the French Riviera is usually brief, but I always keep an eye on the forecast.
What languages are the excursions available in?
I can lead itineraries in English, French or Russian.
Which towns can we start from?
Nice, Cannes, Monaco and Antibes are the main starting points. We can also arrange a departure from other towns on the French Riviera.
What class of vehicle is provided?
The vehicle category depends on the number of guests, the itinerary and your preferred comfort level. Premium saloons and minivans are available; we discuss this when you book.
Can an itinerary be arranged without a car?
Yes, there are walking itineraries, including a Nice food walk and an old-town walk. I recommend transport for the other itineraries.
Are tastings included in the price?
Usually not. Tastings are paid for separately on site (€15–30 per person). This lets you choose their format and number.
Can you arrange lunch or dinner?
I can help you choose and book a restaurant. You pay for lunch directly at the restaurant.
Are there options for vegetarians?
Yes, markets and restaurants offer plenty of vegetarian options. Provençal cuisine has a wealth of vegetable dishes.
Can an excursion be rescheduled?
Yes, you can reschedule if another date is available. The sooner you let me know, the more likely we are to find a convenient time.
What is the cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms are discussed when booking and depend on the particular itinerary and season.
