A lovely trip around Cannes in a fabulous red Ferrari

We had a lovely ride around Cannes with a great driver Franke who was a very friendly and informative driver. He took photographs so that we could remember our great experience. We had no problem finding the pick up point and Franke was there waiting at the specified time. Would definitely recommend it if you call at Cannes like we did on a cruise.

Alain was a great guide...

Alain was a great guide who took us to see Nice, Eze and then drove us through Monaco. He walked us through the Nice flower market and Old Town areas, sharing stories about his living experiences in Nice. We enjoyed our day with him and having a private tour allowed us to cover more sites than we could have done with a ship tour.

Eda was a terrific guide and I highly recommend this tour to get an overview of Antibes, St Paul de Vence and Cannes. We spent 1.5 hrs in Antibes and St Paul de Vence walking around with her for a bit and then having some free time. She communicated extremely well, was a lot of fun and listened to what we wanted to do. We really enjoyed our day with her!

Delightful Cannes Walking Tour

Sarit provided a delightful and insightful walking tour of Cannes. It was fun hearing about her writing and tourism careers and how they are intersecting to make her a viable commodity at the Cannes Film Festival. It was also interesting hearing her insider perspective on the inner workings of the industry and how work gets done during the Festival. In addition to showing us the glamorous side of Cannes, Sarit also showed us and gave us a great history lesson about Old Cannes and then took us to some of her favorite shops. A note of caution, this tour requires extensive walking, sometimes uphill. So, you should plan accordingly. I definitely recommend Sarit and this tour if you want a solid orientation to Cannes.

The prefect day

Excellent private day out on the water. The water is clear, beautiful shades of blue. Great information along the way. Nice boat. Comfortable. We had a wonderful lunch at La Tonnelle - wine, veggies and seafood. Philippe was an absolute pleasure to hang with. All the toys were great. Swimming was great. I would definitely recommend and book again!

Exceptional Experience

This tour was fantastic…because it wasn’t a tour…it was an experience. Mago read our family instantly and connected to us by name. He tailored the interests to a history buff, a shopper, a photographer, a teenager and a combo of all. We experienced the history, story, architecture, art, influences, personality, culture, tastes and nuances. He made us feel like these unknown treasures of our lives had been found and made sure we could take them home. Pauses and breaks to rest and take in the sights. An unhurried custom pace to ensure we did not miss key elements or moments but could still go and explore and discover as well. He flexed and could have gone for hours or moments depending on our interest. Not a question went unanswered. His degrees in history and certified tour guide status all came through for a remarkable experience. He connected our existing knowledge and awareness of history and where we came from or what we knew to this area. Touring with Mago was like connecting with a dear friend or distant family member eager to show us an area he loved so we could fall in love too. Mago knows everyone and multiple languages. He bridged gaps in translation, walked us into areas others cannot go, made sure we had the best views, best timings, and best moments. As if this areas was not enough reason to return…Mago himself made us plan our next trip back. From artists and celebrities to personalities and perfectly timed use of technology to take us to all moments in time…Mago is an exceptional pro with friendliness and human relations skills that make him the envy of his guide industry. We will be back and recommend him to all our family and friends. Do not miss this experience with a guide par excellence!

What a perfect...

What a perfect experience!! Great amount of time spent in each place, super interesting sights, even places I didn’t realize would be cool (like Eze) really surprised us. Our driver/tour guide was amazing and told us so much great info. This was my husband’s favorite day. We did this as a stop on a cruise and they were super good about time as well.

Excellent Guide and Comfortable Small-Group Tour

We had a wonderful experience with Lucie, our guide. The small group aspect was great and allowed us to travel comfortably in a van while Lucie went over interesting points along the way. She was a great guide, very well spoken and able to answer any question, no matter how obscure. She did a great job of explaining each stop and giving us ample time to explore on our own. My group included 2 young children and two older adults and the pace was perfect for everyone. We kept on schedule and arrived back at the ship with ample time.

Wonderful tour of Istanbul with an experienced guide!

This 4 hour tour of Istanbul is a must! Especially if you're short on time and want to skip the line and see the city with an experienced guide. Kubra has so much knowledge about the city and it's rich history. She is interesting and takes a lot of time and care with the group. All 3 sights were amazing and I would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to Istanbul. Thank you Kubra for a great tour1

Elsi Cela was a terrific guide. Very knowledgeable and fun. He took us to some amazing places. He knew all the shortcuts and got us to the top of the lines. He was patient- offered to take lots of pics, he provided bottled water, and even gave me 2 euros for the WC. We could never have covered so much ground so fast with a large tour group. Two thumbs up for Elsi

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.
