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.

Amazing tour to Monaco/Monte Carlo and Eze! Our tour guide Franciska was wonderful! Not only was she so informative of the history of the locations we visited, she made sure we had the best experience including tweaking our agenda so we could see the changing of the guards at the palace. She engaged with each tour member ensuring we all had best experiences! Thank You Franciska!!

Tour Grasse and medieval villages of Gourdon, Tourette & St Paul

Lana_S, Jun 2026

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!

Full day Guided Tour: Monaco-Monte Carlo-Èze from Nice or Cannes

Douglas_M, May 2026

The BEST tour guide in Nice/Monaco/Eze.

Billie was an awesome tour guide! She called prior to meeting us at the Nice cruise terminal to let us know her ETA etc. She is a sole proprietor and she has a van that comfortably holds 6-8 people. We had 4 in our family and she had booked 2 others from our cruise. From Nice she drove us to Monaco, Monte Carlo along the Formula 1 Grand Prix which was so cool as they are setting it up for upcoming event. She gave us an ample amount of time to visit the infamous Monte Carlo Casino and surroundings. After that she drove us to the castle of Monaco's Prince & Princess. Guided us through the beautiful gardens that led to the Castle. She got us there in time for the changing of the guard. Which is a part of her tour plans. She then left to give us enough time to tour the area and have lunch on our own. Following, she took us to Eze Village and the perfume factory which was very nice and interesting to see. My family (wife, sister and BIL) had an awesome day and agreed that Billie is the best guide. We would highly recommend this tour when porting in Nice!

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!
