Absinthe and tartes were delightful, but...
Amira_Naji, Jun 2025
The food and drinks were wonderful. I would have preferred more interaction/hearing from the vendors. Our guide didn't speak french and didn't seem very knowledgable or interested in the city and it's terroir. We had been in Antibes for a few days and could have told the group more about the food and history. Our guide was doing her best and I suspect covering for what seemed like a very disorganized tour company.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi Amira, We are very sorry to hear about your experience. The guide on your tour was in only a few months but even with training we quickly picked that she wasn't made for the role. It's hard sometimes to know before they get on the job. She has been let go as she was not providing the experience to the standards we aim for. She has been repalced by a proper local french guy with much more people skills and knowledge of the food, culture and everything french ;-) The vendors are known to share a lot their knowledge rather it's the somelier or the local caterer though. Thanks again for your feedback, it has been crucial to assess and take action to take our tours back to the level of satisfaction they should be :-) Wishing you all the best. Sorry again for this inconvenience and thanks for your understanding. Happy travels :-)
Disappointing Experience – Poorly Handled, Uninspiring, and Not Worth the Price.
279karolinar, May 2025
After our disappointing experience with the cancelled morning tour, we were surprised to find that the guide for our evening food tasting tour in Antibes was the same person. She did apologise again, but when we reiterated how disappointed we were with the short-notice cancellation, she simply repeated that it was beyond her control. Unfortunately, the Antibes food tour didn’t make up for the rocky start in the morning. For £83 per person, we received: 1. One small glass of absinthe. 2. Three small glasses of wine, a few slices of charcuterie and a few slices of cheese shared between the group. 3. One ramekin of peppers and garlic per person, one ramekin of vegetables, one of beef bourguignon to share, soca and one glass of wine each. It didn’t feel special, and certainly not worth the price. What was more disappointing was the guide’s attitude. At the second stop, the waiter had no idea we were coming. The guide didn’t seem to speak the local language either, all was very disorganised. We were then told we were early and had to come back in 20 minutes, during which the guide suggested we just “go shopping.” There was no effort to engage or use the time meaningfully. Throughout the tour, the guide kept her distance, often sitting apart from the group and using her phone. She asked us once if we liked the wine, but there was no follow-up. It felt like she was doing the bare minimum, more as a side job than a passionate host proud to share local cuisine and culture. That human connection, which makes food tours so memorable, was completely missing. The highlights of the tour were: 1. The food itself, while small in quantity, was tasty. 2. The lovely owner at the final venue, who was warm, welcoming, and shared her story. 3. A fellow guest – a costume designer working at the Cannes Film Festival – who was engaging and fascinating to talk to. All in all, this felt like poor value for money, both in what we received and how it was delivered. If the company is relying on guides who don’t speak the local language, don’t engage with guests, and don’t seem interested in the experience they’re providing, then they should reconsider their offering. As people who love exploring local food cultures wherever we travel, from street food in Asia to wine tastings in Tuscany, we’ve experienced incredible food tours led by passionate, knowledgeable guides who truly love what they do. Unfortunately, this company fell far short of that standard. We will definitely not be using or recommending this company to anyone.

Hi Karolina, I'm extremely disappointed myself that you had a negative experience with us. As you can see from our previous reviews, people have been more than happy in general with what we are delivering. I understand that a few things went wrong on our booking and we sincerely want to apologies for it. As the creator of the company, there's nothing who matters more to me that the visitors experience so I do share the disappointment. Firstly, I want to apologies for our guide actions. This guide is fairly new to the company and wasn't aware so much how to deal with those situations. I have worked again with her to help her understand how we should act in those situations. Regarding the fact that we do receive payment upfront, that's not the case for most of our tours. The walking tour is a tip based tour so we don't get any payment upfront until it is booked through OTA that need us to charge upfront. In this case, the other people booked were not prepaid. Regarding the tasting tour, in general people really love the experience and the very local tastings along the way. I guess your morning experience has had an impact on how you received this activity. The guide as I said is fairly new and even if she has been trained she can't perform as good straigh away as our other guides. Regarding pricing, as you have booked through an OTA, I'd like to bring to your attention that those platforms charge bigger and bigger commissions (we are talking more than 25-30%) which also pump up the price. That's why we always recommend to book direct which will have cost you 70 pounds instead of more than 85. Anyway, please accept again our sincere apologies as whatever the reasons things are not working out in the best way for our visitors, we will work towards improving ourselves and our new team member. We are also working at the moment in building an audio version of our tours based on GPS location that will also give our customers a backup solution in case things happen and we can't deliver our services. That's important that we cover this very unusual times with some alternatives to make sure our clients are looked after and can still enjoy their discovery of our wonderful cities on the coast. We still wish you had an amazing time on our stunning French Riviera. If you ever come back to this part of the world, please get in touch and I will look personnally into treating you to something better. All the best, Cedric and the WhatToDoRiviera Team
Not worth the money
Kim_K, Sept 2024
Too expensive for what you get. Isa the guide was the saving grace of this tour. She was fun and knowledgeable. She did a good job with what she had. However, this is not a food tour. We were hungry at the end of the tour which is not the norm. We had 3 stops; 1st was an absinthe drink with a cracker, the 2nd was one plate of cheese and sausage for 14 people and the 3rd stop was at a caterer where not everyone could sit down. The food was good but so small that we could not enjoy it fully. The wine was ok but rationed. Not worth the money.
Response from Host, Sept 2024
Hi Kim, We are sincerely sorry to hear that you didn't had a good time. Other persons in your group have rated us 5 stars for the same experience on the same day. But anyway, we will take in consideration your feedback, to be fair, you are the first one in years that have mentionned not having enough food, we used to hear the opposite. In saying that, I'll reach out to all our suppliers to understand what happen around quantities. One factor is that it was the busiest tour we ever had so I wonder if this was the issue in itself as maybe the suppliers didn't provide an equivalent quantity per person of what they generally offer with smaller group. And to finish, you did unfortunately book through the platform with the highest commissions. Sorry again for the inconvenience, be assured that we will investigate and also ask other visitors on the same day for more opinions. If you are still around a few more days, we can offer you to join a walking tour for free or a discount on other activities. We wish you still a good time for the rest of your holidays and happy travels. Cedric
Nice tour of the old town.
