A Private Guide Your Guests Can Actually Trust

The Difference Between a Guide and a Driver

In France, "tour guide" isn't a self-declared title. Pacôme holds the state professional card (carte professionnelle de guide-conférencier), the legal qualification required to give guided commentary inside museums and classified historic monuments. Many drivers offering "private tours" on the Riviera do not hold this card, and are not legally permitted to guide inside protected sites. It's a distinction your guests will notice.
