MaryBlye_K, Oct 2026

Excellent tour - highly recommend

We had a great time on this tour with Carmella. We saw parts of Nice we’d missed entirely in the couple of days we’ve been here and wow, is this city gorgeous!! Carmella was an excellent guide. She’s fluent in English but still spoke slowly so we could hear everything. She used a microphone - thank you!!!! - and was super considerate of everyone in the group, making sure we all could hear. Great information about the places we visited. Would highly recommend this tour with this particular guide!

Awesome!

Laurence was a very enthusiastic and inspiring tour guide. We were particularly impressed with her energy, her bright smile, her obvious love of the areas we visited, her spoken English, and her wealth of knowledge. This was the best day of our 8 days visiting Nice….mostly because of her. She is truly a gem in her field.

Nice way to explore

I loved the fact that it was a smaller van with just three other couples. It was a nice way to explore the region. I specifically enjoyed Eze and Turbie but Monte Carlo was a one of for us. Not sure if I would go back there. But a driver was nice and the views were stunning.

Spending the half day with Moumen was well worth it! We packed so much into a short time! He was very accommodating and very knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He gave us loads of information plus he kept us informed about what we were doing next - and we did a lot! Highly recommend.

Unforgettable French Riviera Day Tour with an Exceptional Guide!

We had a fabulous day tour of the French Riviera with Laurent as our guide! Be prepared for a full, action-packed day with multiple stops. The schedule is flexible depending on traffic and how much time you spend in each town, so I’d suggest avoiding strict dinner reservations that evening. It’s a wonderful preview of the French Riviera—giving you a taste of different coastal towns to revisit for longer stays in the future. We visited Cannes, Antibes, St. Paul de Vence (my personal favorite 😍, where we enjoyed an exquisite lunch!), Èze, a fantastic local perfumery, and Monaco/Monte Carlo. Laurent was an outstanding guide: punctual, professional, and an expert at navigating the hectic traffic. He shared rich historical insights and fascinating details at every stop, while keeping the pace comfortable and ensuring we had ample time to explore. Thank you, Laurent, for an unforgettable tour! C'était magnifique!

More than old buildings!

Each stop on this tour provided amazing glimpses into the medieval world. What made it all the more special was our guide, Laurence, who provided great insights into French life both ancient and modern. We started going back in time with a visit to the Gallimard perfume factory. The perfume house was founded in 1747. Perfume manufacture changed the fortunes of this town.

A great French Alps adventure

This is a great tour! Guide Cyril was knowledgeable, funny, helpful and an extraordinary guide. The train and bus portions of the trip were smooth, comfortable with some great sights and information and stories along the way. The French villages were beautiful, with terrific views. Lunch was tasty, although totally vegetarian. Definitely a great day trip from Nice.

Soooo much fun!!!

If you’re in Nice and want to see more of the nearby towns, you MUST do this tour!!! It was sooooo much fun!!! The cars were adorable and fun and easy to drive. We did not go to the perfume factory in Eze as my daughter wanted to up to the village. Be prepared-it’s a hike up there! We saw Nice, Eze, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and everything in between. We stopped to take pictures a few times. This was a highlight of our 10 day France trip. 5 stars!!!!

Awesome Day

Melina was a great guide and driver, glad it wasn’t us taking the narrow roads. Cannes is a beautiful place to observe, not my favorite. Next Antibes- spectacular views, went to Picasso Museum- awesome experience- my favorite part, enjoyed a panini at the market. St Paul was a quaint town with a lot of character and history, amazing! Enjoyed the adventure

Amazing 10/10

Amazing trip from start to finish. Would 100% recommend this trip! We sat upstairs on the way there which was lovely as could top up my tan lol. Did feel like a long wile on are way there but deffo worth it! Went swimming at St George’s bay which was sooo beautiful and they gave you enough time to swim! Then of we went to symi. We went for some drinks and food and walked around the markets and then we was ready for departure. They give you more than enough time to explore. Then on way back we sat downstairs with aircon and had a nap. The seats were comfy enough to do so. Overall had an amazing time with my partner! Would definitely recommend . We are super tired now.

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.
