French Riviera in One Day from Nice shared tour

Best way to see the French Riviera in a short amount of time

This is the dream tour is you want to see as much of the top iconic French Riviera locations in a short amount of time! We only had 2 full days in the French Riviera and knew we wanted to see the top places: Èze-Village, Monaco, St Paul de Vance, Monte Carlo, and Cannes. At first we thought about splitting it up into two days and using public transport and Ubers but with delays, traffic, and the cost of Ubers just to go to one location we knew we didn’t want to take on that hassle. This tour took the work out of it, all we had to do was get in the van and on the way there we would get a little history about the next city and before you knew it we would arrive! Our driver was amazing and would give us advice on where to go and what to see but also gave us the freedom to freestyle it and do what our heart desires. That was perfect because some cities we wanted to really see the landscape and in others we just wanted to shop or eat. Either way this guide really allowed us to maximized our short stay. It moves quickly and you only get 30min to an hour or so in each location but that’s all you really need to get a taste of each place. It’s the perfect sampler tour. I highly recommended it save yourself the hassle of navigating it yourself. You are on vacation enjoy the stress free ride

Gigi is a fabulous guide....

Gigi is a fabulous guide. She is all doing and all knowing. Gigi took us to 3 beautiful (and different) wineries across Provence. Her stories and personality were entertaining. The small group we were with was delightful. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about and tasting the wines. We had a group lunch in a small village between the 2nd and 3rd winery. The day was exceptional.

A great day exploring the French Riviera

We had a great day discovering the Best of the French Riviera. Daniel, our driver and guide, was very personable and extremely knowledgeable of the history, highlights and anecdotes of the region. The day was well paced with just enough time allocated to the many stops. We were picked up at our lodgings promptly and quickly engaged in the days activities. It was an outstanding way to get to know the region and experience it's highlights. Definitely a 5-Star day!

Wonderful way to see Monaco

We had a wonderful visit to Monaco with Thin. He went above and beyond to make us comfortable, was highly knowledgeable, and made sure we both had fun and were able to enjoy everything. I also want to commend the company. We had one small hiccup and they were quick to respond and to help us resolve it. A great operation all around.

Beautiful Alps country

A wonderful day seeing things off the beaten path with a terrific guide Cyril. He nade a very long day fun and informative with his cheery and funny comments and quirky sense of humour. The country was very hilly and a hard walking surface but so woth the effort. He went above and beyond when he helped me get back to accomodation at the end of the day. If you are lucky to be on one of his tours you will be well looked after

Great tour!

This tour was excellent. Bello (not sure of spelling) was our guide and he did a great job of safely driving us to our various stops and explaining the sites along the way as well as when we arrived at the sites. The air conditioned van was very comfortable. Our group had six members which was a perfect number for the van and being able to interact with Bello. We had lunch along the way and he was able to make some nice recommendations for lunch. This tour also gives you time to explore on your own. Great picture opportunities as well as shopping opportunities. Highly recommend.

An Eventful Day in Nice, Monaco, Cannes, Antibes!

Gouda, our guide, picked us up at Hotel Suisse, a 10 minute walk from our hotel. This was a shared tour, but the other party had to cancel so our family was alone for most of the day. Our first stop was Promenade des Anglais, where we had a great view of Nice. We then went to Vieux Eze, a small village on the top of a hill. We spent some time touring and shopping at Parfumerie Fragonard. Gouda then drove us to Monaco. We saw all the famous sites, including the Casino, Hotel de Paris, the cathedral where Princess Grace was married, and parts of the Grand Prix route. We had lunch at a local Italian place. After picking up another group, we proceeded to Cannes, the Christmas market in Antibes, and St. Paul de Vence. The last stop was particularly special. A beautiful town with narrow streets. It was a busy day. Gouda was knowledgeable. He walked with us through Monaco, but gave us time to ourselves in other locations.

Amazing!!!

The tour was well worth the money. The guides were very professional and their communication was fine. They spoke in both French and English. Getting off the train turn to your right and then make a slight left at the end of the boats and head to exchange your e-ticket for a paper ticket. Okay, back to the tour it lasted 1 hrs and of course the sentiment because you are on a boat we all wish it were longer. We felt that is was still very enjoyable for a last moment tour. I would recommend purchasing this tour. If we return we would go on it again despite the 1hr length.

Wonderful, flexible tour with great guide

Billie was a wonderful driver and guide. We were given an overview of each area and then we had time to explore on our own. We traveled with children (14, 12, 10) and it was so much easier to navigate with a driver than trying to do on our own. Billie even followed up with the helpful suggestions for food and things to do after the tour.

A great day in southern France

This is a great way to get a snap shot of a few French villages in one day. Keep in mind that there is limited time to fully appreciate the villages and that you can't see everything. Our guide, Laurence was very knowledgeable and accomodation. She arranged for a close pick up from our cruise ship and was a careful driver. Her directions were clear we had sufficient free time to explore. The scope and cost of this tour was far superior to what the cruise company offered.

Amazing

What a great tour to see the sites around Nice. The super fun little cars make driving on the French Riviera even better. Julie our guide was outstanding. She was knowledgeable, patient and concerned with the safety of all the travellers. The 4 hour tour took us to places we would not have seen on our own, and showed us places we wanted to return to. The tour is well paced with short drives, time to take pictures and explore the spots. It was a beautiful and fun adventure. I highly recommend it.
