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.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Bonjour Clara,
Thank you very much for your kind review. I am very happy to hear that your family enjoyed this Eze and Monaco tour so much.
Mago always does his best to adapt each tour to his guests, and he will be very pleased to know that both your children and the adults had such a memorable time with him.
Thank you again for your recommendation. It was a pleasure to welcome your family.
Best regards,
Melanie

Excellent Tour! Mago was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. He had the day very well planned and was so flexible because we were not sure of the weather. Highly recommend!!!
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Hi Suzanne,
Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour. It was a pleasure spending the day with you, and I’m glad the plan (and a bit of flexibility with the weather!) helped make everything smooth and fun.
Thanks again for the recommendation—it truly means a lot. If you’re ever back on the French Riviera, I’d love to show you even more!
Warm regards,
Mago
Eric_H, Nov 2025
We had a fantastic tour with Mago. He knows all the interesting details about Nice and the surrounding area. Our tour was full of unique stories and background that made the trip more fun than just “seeing” the sights. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Eric, thank you very much for your great review. It was a real pleasure spending time with you. Your knowledge and curiosity made our exchanges truly interesting, and I learned a lot from you as well. I really appreciate it.
Shelly_Z, Nov 2025
Mago is a phenomenal tour guide. The passion he has for his job is demonstrated in his deep knowledge about the history of the Monaco and Eze areas. He is an engaging story-teller, with a great sense of humor. Our tour flew by and everyone in our group of 10 had a wonderful experience.
We highly recommend Mago - your tour with him will definitely be a highlight.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hello Shelly,
Thank you for the great review! It was MY PLEASURE meeting with you all, we had a lot of fun! Thank you for booking with us.
ERIKA_S, Nov 2025
This tour was amazing and Mago is a fantastic guide. He does not bore you with tedious details but is a master storyteller with historical stories you will remember for a lifetime. He is also very humorous and friendly. Do not hesitate to book a tour with this company. We will be back to the French Riviera and will most definitely use Mago’s services again.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you so much for the review ! Looking forward to meeting with you soon on the French Riviera :-)
Adriel_S, Nov 2025
Did a solo private tour with Mago. He is an exceptional tour guide. He customized my itinerary to my interests, is extremely knowledgeable and a terrific storyteller. And he took hands-down the best photos of any tour guide I’ve ever used. His van is brand new and he’s just a down to earth great guy. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hi Adriel, thank you for the great review. Well, I guess the lessons I took on how to take good pictures were worth it 😂
Adriel, thank you so much again for booking with me, I truly enjoyed your company!
Hope to see you back again soon.
Mago
Jami_B, Nov 2025
Mago has great English and was easy to hear. We traveled with our 77 year old mom who moved a little slowly and he was so accommodating. Told stories about the history of the cities, asked questions and got to know the 4 of us. He was fun and full of information. Would definitely recommend him!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hi Jami,
😂 it was such a great meeting ! Thank you for your trust, I wish we had more time together, I am already missing you.
Best regards,
Mago
Wenfei_W, Oct 2025
Don’t even hesitate to book this tour with Mago - he was the absolute best. Funny, friendly, and remarkably engaging with everyone in the group. Kept all of our attention, even some of us that were still battling jet lag. We loved all the stories and the way he presented the history, and the flow of information. You can definitely tell that he’s mastered this over many years.
If and when we come back, we will just want to book Mago to take us everywhere!
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hello 👋🏻, thank you for the great review, Goyard made a difference, right ? 😂 thank you guys, one thing, please make sure John doesn’t come back 😂
Looking forward to meeting with you again!
Best,
Mago

We had a great experience with Mago. The tour was both educational and fun! We really enjoyed it. I will definitely book with Mago again when in the French Riviera!
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Bonjour Kim. Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to know you enjoyed your tour with Mago and look forward to welcoming you again on the French Riviera. 🌟 Antoine
James_D, Sept 2025
Mago is a fabulous guide. He understands and can communicate in English the historical context of what we are seeing—he can tell you why things appear the way they do, and he can tell you in an interesting, engaging way. He is also fun to be with; he is most thoughtful; and he is a careful driver. I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Mago as your guide. You will not regret it.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Wow James, thank you very much for your kind review! We are so happy to know that you loved your tour with Mago. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again on the French Riviera!
Troy_R, Sept 2025
This was an absolutely exceptional half-day tour. Mago was an excellent host and extremely knowledgeable guide. He took us to the most spectacular viewpoints around Nice, Eze, and Monaco. We even saw Prince Albert leaving the castle in his motorcade.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello,
Thank you very much for your kind 5-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your half-day tour with Mago. It is wonderful that you were able to see the highlights of Nice, Eze, and Monaco, along with the special surprise of spotting Prince Albert’s motorcade.

Response from Host, Aug 2025
Bonjour!
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your day with Mago — he does have a gift for storytelling!
Next time, make it a full-day tour so he has even more time to share all his favorite stories and hidden spots 😉
See you very soon !
Kevin_L, Jul 2025
MAGO was an amazing guide and made our experience awesome. Eze a was a surprising treat. Would absolutely use him again as a guide to see other parts of the French Riviera.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review Kevin! We are so glad you enjoyed your time with Mago — Eze is always a good choice :) We would love to welcome you again for more discoveries around the Riviera!
À bientôt !
Jennifer_N, Jul 2025
TL;DR: a bit expensive for what you’re getting; but our tour guide, Gabriel, was nice.
PROS:
- Contacting the tour operator was extremely easy with any questions and they’re very responsive on WhatsApp. When I wanted to change the location from Monaco to St. Paul de Vence the evening before the tour, I WhatsApped them and they literally responded within a few minutes.
- You can tell that Gabriel is trained as a tour guide and was ready with his iPad on hand when explaining sites to us. It was as if he’s been practicing off a script and ensuring that he was checking off each of the boxes so that he doesn’t miss anything.
- The drives to both Eze and St. Paul de Vence were short. It was great having a local and someone familiar with the areas guide us on where to go and explain everything to us. Gabriel was a great driver as well - felt very safe in his car. The car was roomy, clean, and very comfortable.
- Gabriel dropped us off to a boulangerie for a pit stop for some snacks and it was great! Their pain gagner was delicious!
CONS:
- When Gabriel picked us up in the morning, he introduced us to his brother, someone that will be with us that day to record him. He should have checked before the tour for consent to record him AND us during the tour. There was no consent or a heads up - it was more like my brother is here to record me. No further details on where these recordings are going, what they’re going to do with them, etc. I had to ask and he said that all the tour guides do the same and they film it for the tour company to put it up on their social media accounts.
- When making stops and giving explanations, try to find a shade to stand in vs. out in the sun where we’re all melting. The glare from the sun on the iPad screen makes it virtually impossible to see what’s on there and it’s challenging to stand and listen to him talk while it’s 32c in the sweltering sun.
- When wandering into stores to take a gander, it was a bit uncomfortable to have our guides follow us inside like a pair of bodyguards. Inside the store, he'd explain things on the shelves while we perused and stuck to us without giving space to look around ourselves.
All in all, it was a pleasant experience, but I personally don't feel like it was worth the amount paid. I'd recommend this experience to a friend if they had extra money to spend.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Bonjour Jennifer,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your kind words about the organization, the communication, and the tour itself. I truly appreciate your compliments, as well as your constructive suggestions.
You are right about the heat — those were some of the hottest days we have had this summer, and it was indeed a challenge to find shaded areas that were also good spots for storytelling. That being said, I take your comment seriously and will make an effort in the future to find more comfortable places for explanations when the weather is extreme.
Regarding the presence of Alex, the person filming: he is not only my brother but also working with us as part of an internship. He was there specifically to take photos of the guides for our social media. I completely understand your concerns, and I should have explained more clearly beforehand. Please rest assured: we never share any guest photos without explicit permission. If you appear in the background of any image, we either blur your face or ask for your consent before posting anything.
I am sorry to hear that the tour did not feel like a great value to you. Personally, I find these villages and this region truly exceptional, and I tried my best to share that with you throughout the tour. I regret that it did not resonate with you as I had hoped.
In any case, thank you again for your honest review and for helping us improve. I genuinely appreciate it 😊
Best regards,
Gabriel
Ana_P, Jul 2025
This was by far the best tour of our entire Mediterranean vacation—and that’s saying a lot! Our guide, Mago, was absolutely outstanding. His deep knowledge of history, combined with fascinating details at every stop, made this experience both incredibly engaging and educational. From the charming streets of Èze to the elegance of Monaco, Mago brought every location to life with context, humor, and passion. We learned so much and truly appreciated the personalized approach. Five stars aren’t enough—this was a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Bonjour Ana,
Wow — what a fantastic review to read! Thank you so much for your kind words. Mago always goes the extra mile to make each tour meaningful and memorable, and we are so happy his passion and storytelling made such an impression. We would love to welcome you again on your next trip to the French Riviera!
Best,
Melanie
Lanchau_D, Jul 2025
What a wonderful tour! We started with Eze which is a charming town and stopped for drinks and snacks at Chevre D'Or. Beautiful views in all of Eze. We then went to Monaco and learned of its history, and ended the day with a trip to Monte Carlo to see the famous casino entrance and be in the middle of flash and glamour that is expected. Highlights for my son and husband was to see and ride along the F1 track
Mago was very knowledgable along the entire trip from the moment we started. He has a wealth of knowledge and kept the tour interesting and informative.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed the day from Eze to Monte Carlo!
We are happy the tour was both fun and enriching for everyone. We hope to welcome you back again soon! 😊
Michelle_A, Jul 2025
My family and I had the best time in Nice, exploring Eze Village, Monaco, and Monte Carlo. Our tour guide Mago was excellent and the best guide we’ve ever had! He was very knowledgeable and told us awesome stories about the history of Eze and Monaco. His pacing was also considerate for my 83 yr old MIL who was with us. We would definitely do it again next time we’re in France!
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy that your family had such a great time with Mago.
He always makes sure the pace fits everyone’s comfort. We would love to welcome you again on your next visit to France! 😊
Salvatore_D, Jun 2025
Extremely knowledgeable and outstanding tour guide.
We made some last minute changes to the Itinery and Mago was able to provide the most spectacular and informative tour to St Paul de Vence.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Wow, what a compliment – thank you! We are proud that our guides know every corner of the French Riviera and are passionate about sharing it. We are so glad your tour lived up to your expectations. À bientôt, we hope! 😊
francis_c, Jun 2025
This was actually a booking I was “forced” to make after Viator cancelled my booking, without any explanation I might add. I say forced because we were only in Nice for 2 days and we wanted to see the sights so I had to make this booking despite having booked a full day private guided tour because there was literally nothing else. This tour was shorter but more expensive than the one Viator cancelled. But again, I had no choice. The good thing about it though was that, the guide, Mago from Unique Tours Riviera was nothing short of amazing! He knew so many things! Historical facts, trivias, anecdotes, you name it, he knows all of them. And he took us to places that only locals knew about. We had a really nice time going around the French Riviera. I thought Viator had ruined my time in Nice, good thing Unique Tours Riviera was there and Mago saved the day! I would definitely go back and book again but this time, I would go straight to this awesome tour company named Unique Tours Riviera. You should too if you want the best!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Ah yes, I remember — that last-minute scramble! 😂 I'm really glad we crossed paths, even if it took a bit of chaos to get there.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Next time, book directly — I promise the only surprise will be how much fun you’re having! 😊

Unique tours are fabulous, highly recommend them. Stay away from French Riviera Sightseeing tours, they never get back to you either by phone or email and they are impossible to contact. Our trip from Nice to Monaco was made even better by our local tour guide from Unique tours, Magaux, who is funny, very knowledgeable and quite personable. Unique tours made our trip very special and so I highly recommend them.
Response from Host, Sept 2024
