It was an amazing tour. Antoine (Tony) is very knowledgeable about the history of French Riviera regions. He stopped and pointed out many important and interesting historical facts. We all enjoyed this entire tour and would recommend to everyone without hesitation.

Carolyn_K, Sep 2025

Davis was our professional, accommodating guide who had a fabulous personality and a wealth of experience and knowledge of the region. Our tour extended into 10 hours because we had huge crowds but no future plans so David could extend his time with us which we thought was very considerate. As David told us highlights of each area we were given additional time to enjoy ourselves. He drove us on a portion of the Formula 1 track and recommended the best places to eat and shop.. Our day was a memorable journey thru the French Riviera and we would highly recommend this tour, don’t miss out!

Vibrant Monaco - Interesting Monte Carlo

Mayra_M, May 2025

Our tour guide was Stephan. Stephan is a rather committed person. We stop in the town of Eze to visit Fragonard, Stephan made sure that we had time to enjoy the store and purchase all what we could (lol). He made sure that we were able to see each corner of Monaco and Monte Carlo he took us to the Old Town, we visit the exterior of the royal palace, we visited/entered the Grand Casino, and we drove around the Formula One Grand Prix circuit. It was such an exiting morning . We also visited the Old Antibes, with its amazing yachts and beautiful views, Stephan showed to know the area and its history. He was courteous and respectful and made sure that we were comfortable and got the value of the tour price. Thank you Stephan!

Sebastian was our guide for a packed agenda of the French Rivera from Nice to Monte Carlo, Cannes, and Antibes. Right from the beginning I could tell that Sebastian was going to be a great guide. He was very caring and helpful to me regarding my immobility. The day was packed with all sorts of wonderful things to see and experience. We could not have been more pleased. Sebastian is a people pleaser, and he seemed to really care about our experience.

Good way to see a lot in a day

sheilamurty, Oct 2024

Overall if you are short of time, this is a great way to see several cities on the riviera in convenience Our guide was good but at times felt rushed especially at the end when there was hardly time to get up to the top of the gardens and back. Recommend to tour operator: I would shorten Cannes and extend Eze for sure First up is Cannes then Antibes then Monaco Monte Carlo then Eze I would say Cannes is ok to be missed- nothing there but the red carpet really. Also the car was comfortable and safe driver However for the price, there should be water provided for travelers complimentary and schedule time for lunch. Food is basically grab snacks or food along the way We ate in Monaco and Antibes The parfumerie was a sales pitch though interesting but not enough time to shop That’s the overall 4 rating.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Tour Azur thanks you for your review and take note of your comments. However, since it is a shared tour, and people have different interests, we have to balance each location's stop time to suit all our guests. Water is not supplied on shared tours, but is supplied on our private tours. Sincerely, Tour Azur

A good time

Bethany_B, Oct 2024

Our tour guide Ralph was great. We got to see a lot in one day. We recommend this tour. We would have liked to have longer in Eze.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Rolf and Tour Azur are pleased to read that you enjoyed the tour and recommend us. We understand your sentiments about Eze, but with so much to see on this tour, unfortunately it doesn't offer extended stops in specific places, as is noted on the description of the tour. Sincerely, Tour Azur

Convenient taxi services to visit a few places on the same day

HonYee_C, Sep 2024

The driver/guide Martina is friendly and polite, however provided little information about the places during the tour. It’s more like a comfortable taxi service rather than a guided tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Tour Azur takes note of your comment, and will speak to the guide regarding the level of comments and guiding offered. We are sorry to read that the tour was not up to the standards you expected. Sincerely, Tour Azur

Agis is a great guide

Exceptionally impressive

Karmisha_S, Aug 2024

My tour guide, David, was exceptionally impressive. I thoroughly appreciated every facet of this extraordinary 9-hour tour across the French Riviera. We had a stimulating conversation about the beauty of France and the intricacies of the country's past and present. We explored the charms of the town of Antibes, Cannes, Monaco and much more. My favorite part of the tour was visiting the king's palace and learning about the remarkable history of France. Merci ‘

Our tour was led by Adrienne. She was very knowledgeable and lively, perfect for sharing history without boring the crowd. During the drives to different locations she gave background information about the stops. Once we arrived at the stops we were free to explore. My teen daughters loved it. Great way to explore the region and get great photos.

Very Good Introduction to Nice Area

Rob_F, Jul 2024

Great introduction to the popular French Riviera area for the rich and famous with a bit of history included. It was, I think, good to visit these centres... Cannes, Monte-Carlo, Eze, and some places in between. There are some interesting things to learn and enough free time to work out it you want to visit again. Helpful to be picked up from Motel and dropped off. A good value day tour.
