Alex_F, Jul 2026

Albano lives up to his reputation!

I came to Nice on my honeymoon and we wanted a really special experience while here. We decided to look into tours on this site and after reviewing the different available tours for Monaco, I decided on this one because of all the positive reviews about the tour guide, Albano. TLDR: He lives up to his reputation and we had an incredible time. He reached out several days in advance through what's app to coordinate and I really appreciated his communication and effort to make our meet up seamless. Once picked up the experience was flawless and he really knows his stuff. The pace of the tour was just right. His English is great and he's very thoughtful and friendly. I am so grateful that I chose this tour. Its a memory that we will cherish forever and I cant Thank Albano enough for the experience. -Alex and Adrianna

Amazing tour with a knowledgeable guide

Sarit picked us up right at the cruise port and drove us all over southern France, the historic villages are amazing, and wine was delicious. She was knowledgeable of all the history and was patient when we wanted to experience some shopping and the farmers market. She was an excellent guide and we would recommend using her 100%. Thank you Sarit!

A wonderful day trip from Nice

My daughter and I really enjoyed this day trip, which included pickup and drop off at our vacay rental. Our guide Daniel was friendly and shared history insights on our way. We especially loved the views of the Gorge and the stop to see the lavender fields in the Valensole area. Be aware that the drive includes many winding roads and switchbacks, so prepare if you tend to motion sickness. Our group of eight plus Daniel fit comfortably in the vehicle and the AC was solid on a day of very high heat.

Nabil and Laurence were...

Nabil and Laurence were an excellent team guiding and driving in two separate vans. We could focus on the incredible views and absorb a great deal of history. The hour long stops in each village gave us time to walk around at our own pace. Their lovely personalities combined with good vibes of our group of 20 made for fun and a very pleasant day. Had the van been a bit bigger we would have been less cramped. It was a very hot day- not easy for anyone.

An excellent with stunning scenery not to be missed

Best last minute decision we made, we were skeptical , but the trip was above our expectations! The best way to get closer to Provence if you are in the Riviera. A wonderful relaxing day enjoying the stunning Provencal scenery in a convenient Mercedes van and learning a lot about history. Our guide Ibrahim was terrific! We felt so lucky and spoiled ...He offers the option to pick you up from the hotel, which is great. The commute was not overwhelmingly long and was actually fun as Ibrahim masterfully filled it with discussion into medieval history and more. Very knowledgeable guy, I think he mentioned a history degree from Morocco...and living local in this area a long time, he has the answers to all your questions. In every village you are given enough time to enjoy the scenery, shop and relax at your own pace, he is very attentive and manages always to find you and pick you up at the final spot. All the villages are very picturesque in their own way, my favorite probably Tourrete sur Loup filled with views and sophisticated art every step of the way, same in St Paul, lots of art and very vibrant, and Gourdon more pristine . Grasse is beautiful, includes a guided sales tour of the Fragonar perfume center. Ibrahim added an extra viewing spot on the way, big waterfalls, which was very impressive, loved it!! A great day filled with so much beauty and learning so much, thank you Ibrahim!

This was a great small...

This was a great small group experience. We were a group of 4 and there were only 8 total on the tour. Our guide packed a lot into the time we had making the most of the day. We were on a cruise meaning only one day in port so this was a perfect way to see the area. Highly recommend.

A beautiful day seeing villages that were a thousand years old. The art, the people, the history was truly a magnificent privilege to be a part of. Our guide Lawrence was absolutely charming. She loves her job and is it shows. She was kind and funny and an absolute joy to be around. This is one tour I highly recommend.

Monaco & Eze Small-Group Day Trip with Perfumery Visit from Nice

I’d give 10 stars to this trip & our guide Alex if I could!

Great trip to Eze and Monte Carlo. Our guide Alex was amazing- personable, informative and so gracious. And he needed excellent driving skills in Monaco due to heavy race/visitor traffic with many tight squeezes. Having a flexible and knowledgeable guide made the whole experience. You could try and uber to these sites and walk around, but having a knowledgeable guide made it memorable in the best way. He had so many interesting and fun facts about the area. Helped secure a wonderful lunch with no wait and was great communicating to us on any logistics. Must-do experience!

Book this tour! You’re going to love it!

Our driver Nicole was excellent! She knew the best routes to drive to get around traffic, avoid lines at entrances and the best Italian restaurant for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our long day. Only complaint is the van was really cramped for room. Other than that, it was great!

Fantastic Day trip to Provence

We were picked up promptly by monsieur Antoine in a clean and very comfortable van. He was very informative and friendly- he was able to communicate very nicely with two teenagers and keep them interested in the tour! His English was immaculate. Our trip included Cannes, Grasse and Téo fantastic Provence villages in the mountains- Gourdon and St.Paul de Vance. Just absolutely gorgeous and well worth the trip. We highly recommend this trip and this tour guide:)

Perfect Day of Tasting

We had the most lovely day with Peter, our guide and wine expert. We learned so much without feeling like it was a class. Each vineyard was unique and had a lovely selection of tastings. The price points on the wines were perfect for picking up a few to take home. Peter went out of his way to ensure my friend was reunited with his lost glasses.
