Provence Wine Tour - Small Group Tour from Nice

Connor, May 2026

Méline is amazing!

We went to three beautiful wineries and were able to test a variety of whites, rosés, and reds. Being from the United States I wasn’t expecting to enjoy the rosés as they are quite sweet there, but the rosés ended up being my favorite as they are known for them in this region. Our guide Méline was absolutely fantastic! She was extremely knowledgable and easy to talk to. We enjoyed learning both about wine and about the French Riviera from her!

Cannes, Antibes, and St Paul de Vence Full-day from Nice Small-Group Tour

Shannon_R, May 2026

A great day trip “taster” in the south of France

We had a wonderful time during this tour! Eric was our driver and he was great. Very kind and accommodating. The hotel pickup and drop off was seamless and very convienent! I would view this tour as a “taster” for these three destinations since you have a limited amount of time - I wish we got more time in Antibes and Saint Paul de Vence. But that is just the nature of seeing so much in a fixed amount of time. I don’t know if we would’ve explored these places without the tour, and now we are already itching to go back!

How the other half live

Highlight for me was the Monaco Grand Prix circuit, highlight for my wife was Cannes red carpet and Monte Carlo window shopping. An excellent tour with an excellent guide Stephane, who was very informative with local history and goings on. Thoroughly recommend this tour and would love to do it again one day.

French Riviera Dolce Vita Electric Fiat Tour

Ailinh_T, May 2026

Perfect fun way to explore the region

Great relaxed way to see the area. Our guide said they always use the covered electric Fiats for the longer 4 hour tour which were easy to drive and comfortable. There’s a big open window in the roof and with the open sides, it was all the wind I would have wanted and I was glad we had the shade. I loved the route with the gorgeous views and some time in Eze. Our guide Antonio was so kind and patient and kept the vibe easy and breezy.

Beauty of the French Alps

With any guided tour, the make or break is the guide. Our guide was exceptional. Young, vibrant, fun, and knowledgeable, Sophia ensured that we had an amazing tour. The locations visited, along with the natural beauty of the area, exceeded our expectations. We plan to return to the French Riviera again soon to further explore the area and to learn more of the history and the culture that shaped one of the most beautiful areas of France.

Dawn_D, May 2026

Beautiful villages

This was one of my favorite tours I’ve been on in a long time. The weather was beautiful and the towns we visited were amazing. Our guide was informative There is plenty of time at each stop. We were recommended when to eat, when to use the bathroom, etc. it’s also a great trip to get souvenirs that aren’t the generic ones found in larger cities. The car ride in the mountains was a bit much especially on the curvy roads- so be aware if you’re prone to motion sickness. All in all a great trip to choose if you have the time and are looking to get into the countryside.

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!
