German born in Munich, I always loved french culture and I studied it before deciding 26 years ago to move abroad, first to Turkey for a short stay, and then in France, in Nice, where I worked at Nice International Airport as a ground handling agent and where I was in contact with many people and cultures. I really liked this human dimension and I always wanted to help travellers enjoying their stay in the region by giving them local tips and advices. Knowing that, I decided to change my professional direction and went back to study Art (especially 19th-century art) and architecture at the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis to become a licensed tour guide, leading in go back to study to become a certified tour guide, leading in German, French and English. Moving to the French Riviera, I immediately felt in love with this region, with its golden light, beautiful beaches and picturesque villages filled with history and art; my favorite are Cannes, Antibes, Aix en Provence, Monaco and Saint-Paul de Vence, where I have been guiding the last few years now, always trying to create tailor-made itineraries out of the beaten path with unique details and interesting anecdotes. My job is my true passion and I love to share it with my guests, while rediscovering the region each time with their eyes. Something curious about me: when I am not guiding, I love dancing and horse-riding!

We used Unique Tours for tours in Nice-Cote d’Azur with Yvonne and wanted to say just how pleased we were with her expertise, knowledge, professionalism and kindness. We were more than happy with the extensive tour and how she expanded our view of the wonderful places she took us to. She was a delight to work with and we highly, highly recommend both Yvonne and Roland at Unique Tours. I don’t think there is a more responsive, caring and experienced tour company than Roland at Unique Tours. We would certainly use their services over and over again! Thank you
