Highly recommend!

We loved this tour! We were slightly worried about the length of the tour but we needn't have worried, it flew by as we enjoyed it so much! The mixture of film history and Cannes Film Festival and hidden markets, restaurants and beautiful spots was perfect. Would highly recommend!

Perfect family tour of Eze & Monaco

We had a fantastic tour of Eze and Monaco with Mago. He catered the entire experience to our family of four and did an amazing job engaging our kids. They learned so much, and he has a wonderful way of bringing history to life in a fun and interactive way. Mago paced the tour perfectly, kept the kids involved, and shared great stories that made the stops in Eze and Monaco memorable for both adults and children. Our kids were genuinely interested the whole time, which is not easy to do. Highly recommend, especially for families.

Great tour!!

Ingrid was great! She met us as soon as we got off our tender and walked us to her van. She had a comfortable all front-facing seat van for the 6 of us. First stop was the venue of the famous Cannes Film Festival where we got to take photos on the red carpet! Then we were off to Monaco, where Ingrid shared stories of the are and the life of the famous Grace Kelly. We strolled past Princess Caroline's beautiful residence and then she got us to Prince Albert of Monaco's palace just in time for us to see the changing of the guards. We strolled through local shops on cobblestone streets and grabbed a quick lunch in the town. Ingrid expertly drove us through the narrow opulent streets of Monte Carlo, stopping to let us awe at the numerous massive luxury yachts. We made our way back to the famous Casino Monte Carlo for a visit inside to see the glittering gold fixtures and take our photos. Our final stop was to the Fragonard Grasse Paris perfumery where we toured the factory as they were hand pressing and packing soaps. Ingrid was an energetic host, eager to share her knowledge and show us as much of the area as time would allow which made for a fulfilling day! I would highly recommend her tour!

What a perfect...

What a perfect experience!! Great amount of time spent in each place, super interesting sights, even places I didn’t realize would be cool (like Eze) really surprised us. Our driver/tour guide was amazing and told us so much great info. This was my husband’s favorite day. We did this as a stop on a cruise and they were super good about time as well.

An excellent and enjoyable tour.

Belo, our driver/guide from Liven Up tours (who we booked through Viatour), was excellent — knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver. Nine hours is a long time for a tour, but Belo made every minute enjoyable and info-packed. When we were done, we truly had a better understanding of the French Riviera. Just enough stops and sites. Also, Belo was a very good driver with a very comfortable van for eight passengers. He even tidied it on stops when we tourists we shopping or visiting sites on our own. Well worth the fare.

So fun and relaxing. The...

So fun and relaxing. The coastline is beautiful and our guide gave great commentary. He stopped at a beautiful spot to swim and snorkel. Although not that much to see snorkeling, a few fish and an occasional little jellyfish, the water is so clear and beautiful. We had soooo much fun. Even saw a dolphin on the way back in. I highly recommend this trip.

tmdelmar, Sept 2025

Adrian was excellent tour guide and she went out of her way to make the e trip exciting and special.

Fragonard’s, Eze and Monte Carlo is a must to see with a tour guide. It’s best as traffic and specific knowledge is needed prior to having the perfect trip. Adrian was a pro driver and knew how to navigate the roads, parking and dropping us off right in Front of Monte Carlo to see the casino and to gamble.

Quick, easy and fun way to tour Cannes, France

Location was close to the Cruise port and easy to find. The E-Bikes were in great condition and ready to go when we arrived. The tour guide was kind and informative in showing us around the port city. The exercise was just enough, and the activity was perfect for the amount of time spent on shore.

When in Nice France, use Unique Tours Riviera!!!

Unique Tours Riviera puts on an incredible tour. Mago, our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about every place that we visited. This was a 5 hour tour of 3 or 4 places. Eze and Saint Paul de Vance were the highlights for us, but every stop had its own special beauty! Not only was Mago knowledgeable, he really made the experience very personal. Very professional in every way! He also went out of his way to help me with an issue I had in obtaining our key to the apartment we rented while in Nice. We ended up having to load our luggage into his vehicle for the tour, then at the end of the tour he took us to go pick up the key then back to our apartment where he stayed until he was sure we were able to get in. He was a lifesaver for us. Thanks for a really wonderful day and all your help! I would highly recommend this tour, or one of many he has to offer!
