Sheila_W, May 2026

Excellent Elsi!

We had a wonderful 5 hour tour of the highlights of Cannes, Antibes and St Paul with Elsi yesterday! He was very professional, accomodated us by picking us up at our hotel in Mougins (thank you!) and had insightful knowledge of the area. With the film festival starting soon we cannot have imagined trying to drive through the area ourselves. Having Elsi guide us made the whole experience easy and enjoyable!

Highly recommend!

We loved this tour! We were slightly worried about the length of the tour but we needn't have worried, it flew by as we enjoyed it so much! The mixture of film history and Cannes Film Festival and hidden markets, restaurants and beautiful spots was perfect. Would highly recommend! We even got to taste some local delicacies and ordered the rose with dinner that had been recommended!

Perfect family tour of Eze & Monaco

We had a fantastic tour of Eze and Monaco with Mago. He catered the entire experience to our family of four and did an amazing job engaging our kids. They learned so much, and he has a wonderful way of bringing history to life in a fun and interactive way. Mago paced the tour perfectly, kept the kids involved, and shared great stories that made the stops in Eze and Monaco memorable for both adults and children. Our kids were genuinely interested the whole time, which is not easy to do. Highly recommend, especially for families.

Great tour!!

Ingrid was great! She met us as soon as we got off our tender and walked us to her van. She had a comfortable all front-facing seat van for the 6 of us. First stop was the venue of the famous Cannes Film Festival where we got to take photos on the red carpet! Then we were off to Monaco, where Ingrid shared stories of the are and the life of the famous Grace Kelly. We strolled past Princess Caroline's beautiful residence and then she got us to Prince Albert of Monaco's palace just in time for us to see the changing of the guards. We strolled through local shops on cobblestone streets and grabbed a quick lunch in the town. Ingrid expertly drove us through the narrow opulent streets of Monte Carlo, stopping to let us awe at the numerous massive luxury yachts. We made our way back to the famous Casino Monte Carlo for a visit inside to see the glittering gold fixtures and take our photos. Our final stop was to the Fragonard Grasse Paris perfumery where we toured the factory as they were hand pressing and packing soaps. Ingrid was an energetic host, eager to share her knowledge and show us as much of the area as time would allow which made for a fulfilling day! I would highly recommend her tour!

Monaco, Monte Carlo, Eze, la Turbie, 7H Shared Tour from Cannes

Editha_M, Oct 2025

Best of my Cannes travel.

I booked 3 bookings (6 adults each bookings) On my group and another group had so much fun. But the the 3rd group was super upset about their Driver Mach. They said he wasn't pleasant to talk to. They begged him to have 20 minutes in Monte Carlo since they drove by there but he told them. The people on his group didn't get to go out and take pictures in the beautiful Monte Carlo. Instead, he threaten them that they will miss the ship. They had some time to take a quick 10 mins picture if he listened to his travelers. They are rating him 2⭐️ On the other hand, we had Jouet, another younger men in my group. They are fantastic! I will rate them 5✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A Perfect Day

We had a beautiful day exploring many places. Originally we thought it might feel rushed, but it didn’t at all. We got more time places than we thought we would. Alex, our guide, was very friendly, funny, and shared a lot of knowledge with us. 10/10 would recommend this tour as an efficient way to see a lot of the area!

Exceptional tour and guide. A must do.

We were blessed with a half day tour with Mago. The destinations exceeded already high expectations and Mago’s deep insights and sense of humour elevated the experience to a bucket list level. Mago’s English was perfect. We quite enjoyed the French language lessons he weaved into our day. Mago took special care to cater to our interests including refreshing drinks in a most scenic location in Eze and specialty shops throughout the tour. His depth of knowledge of history, art, architecture and local history was first rate. He shared all generously. It was beautiful, relaxing and most of all fun and informative. I wished our day did not end. Highly recommended!

So fun and relaxing. The...

So fun and relaxing. The coastline is beautiful and our guide gave great commentary. He stopped at a beautiful spot to swim and snorkel. Although not that much to see snorkeling, a few fish and an occasional little jellyfish, the water is so clear and beautiful. We had soooo much fun. Even saw a dolphin on the way back in. I highly recommend this trip.

Adrian was excellent tour guide and she went out of her way to make the e trip exciting and special.

Fragonard’s, Eze and Monte Carlo is a must to see with a tour guide. It’s best as traffic and specific knowledge is needed prior to having the perfect trip. Adrian was a pro driver and knew how to navigate the roads, parking and dropping us off right in Front of Monte Carlo to see the casino and to gamble.

Quick, easy and fun way to tour Cannes, France

Location was close to the Cruise port and easy to find. The E-Bikes were in great condition and ready to go when we arrived. The tour guide was kind and informative in showing us around the port city. The exercise was just enough, and the activity was perfect for the amount of time spent on shore.
