Alex our driver and tour guide was a gem. His knowledge of history enhanced the places we visited. His pace was great as it was extremely hot. We loved seeing Nice, Eze, St Paul de Vence, Antibes and Monaco. Au revoir Alex. Thank you for a great day.

    Great tour and great driver!

    D_W, Jul 2026
    We had a fabulous time with our driver Alex. We were not rushed and the van was so comfortable and the air conditioning worked great. Alex took the time to tell us about the history of the areas we visited. The scenery was fantastic and we stopped along the way for coffee and snacks. A great day and a wonderful tour guide. One last thing. We booked on a Sunday and there was hardly any traffic. Highly recommend.

    What an incredible day exploring the French Riviera! 🇫🇷☀️🌊

    Tiffany_R, Jul 2026
    From start to finish, Roussel was an outstanding tour guide. He took the time to explain every destination we visited, sharing fascinating behind-the-scenes history and local insights that we never would have learned on our own. His knowledge and passion for the region truly made the experience unforgettable. 😊 He was also incredibly patient and accommodating, always happy to stop whenever we wanted to take photos or spend a little extra time enjoying the scenery. We especially appreciated having the flexibility to explore on our own in places like Cannes, Èze, and Monaco, knowing he would be there ready to answer our questions with enthusiasm when we returned. As English speakers who do not speak French, communication was effortless. Roussel spoke excellent English, making the entire tour comfortable, informative, and enjoyable for our family. We never felt rushed and always felt well taken care of. We would recommend Roussel in a heartbeat to anyone looking to experience the beauty of the French Riviera. Thank you for helping create memories that will last a lifetime! ❤️🇫🇷🌴 Merci beaucoup, Roussel! 😊👏🌟

    Expensive Uber trip, not a tour

    Jeanie_B, Jun 2026
    It was really just an uber driver who dropped us off at various towns. He had no agenda at all. If I had known this, we would have done a more organized tour for less money. Also, he was kind of a crazy driver and we were feeling carsick!

    Excellent tour - highly recommend

    David_B, Jun 2026
    We had an amazing time touring with Gio. He picked us up at our AirBnb and right away I knew we would have a great day. Gio was friendly and very knowledgeable about the region and each place we visited. Very flexible with timing on this private tour. I highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky to have Gio as your guide, you are guaranteed to have a good time. As the typical driver in my family, it was amazing to not have to drive and really take in the scenes. Lots of walking and in the heat bring fans, and a change of shoes if you can.

    Dallin_A, Jun 2026
    Alex was a fantastic tour guide. He gave us a deep respect for the land, the people, the history, and the culture here. He was knowledgeable, had great access to lesser traveled places, and very considerate of our needs.

    No English and a rough experience

    Mark_M, Jun 2026
    We had a pretty substandard experience compared to our other tours in this area on this trip. The guide on our private tour spoke almost no English and was impossible to communicate with. He had a mix of Russian and French accent and simply just could not articulate enough conversational English to really make any sense communicating with. My wife and I looked at each other many times during the trip and just shrugged. We would ask a question, and it would pivot into something we couldn’t understand followed by something to do with movie stars or how much money he thought something was worth or had sold for. We had reached out to the tour guide boss the night before requesting to alter the trip because of the previous days tour already doing the medieval villages, and the guy said ok, never answered. Then we get in the van this morning, and he simply had no idea. The van had a smoke smell, which was a problem for me because I am allergic to it. The real issue was that there wasn’t any actual guiding on this tour, there was the guy driving you to the destination, giving very little instruction while pointing, and sort of sending you on your way. The first stop was quite cool and did enjoy the succulent garden. However some guidance as to the tickets and how to do it would’ve been greatly appreciated as it was a little confusing. Second stop of Monaco was interesting, we did ask to skip perfumerie since we had done one before and were a little underwhelmed but did still buy a few things. In Monaco again just got dumped off and “go around here” for a while after pointing at the church and the garden and then driving off. The pickup point was confusing, and required some major effort via WhatsApp to understand where that was. The casino area was a cool stop, but again no guide, just a tough communication barrier. He unfortunately parked while waiting for us the wrong way in front of a sign on a blocked area and received 4 tickets from a Monaco cop. I did feel bad but he aggressively parked in a bad spot. Cannes is all under construction looks like for a movie set maybe and we ultimately were there for 10 Minutes and left. I would skip this particular tour and do something else, and just take a train or uber to Monaco for a couple hours to see the hot spots and you’ll be better off. Long day and really frustrating not being able to communicate with the tour guide about any of the usual interesting history or tips and tricks many others offer. Then to top it all off, the guide hands his tickets to a homeless guy panhandling in the street. I suppose Russians have a different sense of humor.

    Private Tour of French Riviera

    Sira_R, Jun 2026
    Good value of a very nice full-day tour of several cities in the Côte d'Azur. Ruslan was very courteous and professional driver. He was very patient with our group!

    Smooth drive, very safe for family prone to motion sickness!

    Jennifer_R, Jun 2026
    David was extremely knowledgeable and kind. And even more importantly, he was a safe driver. He navigated us through small winding streets efficiently and smoothly. My daughter and I are prone to motion sickness, particularly in the back of vans and we experienced none with David! Very smooth driver with no hard braking, no fast acceleration around turns, so it made for a very pleasant ride. Our trip to Cannes, Antibes, Eze, and Saint Paul De Vance gave us plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. We were extremely pleased with David and he helped make our trip through the French Riviera very memorable! Thank you, David!

    Wonderful day in the French Riviera!!!

    Brian_A, Jun 2026
    David was amazing, what an awesome guide. He was prompt, kind, and very knowledgeable. Because the trip was private, he was fine with us tweaking the itinerary a bit. We wanted to spend more time in St. Paul De Vence and Antibes and drop Cannes and he was so accommodating. If we could give a size out of five we would.

    Amazing Day - the views were exceptional

    Joanne_F, May 2026
    We had a great guide in Alex , he shared so much about the history on each village we visited. You were not rushed and we could ask questions, stop for pictures along the way , just a great day .

    Great day in Provence!

    Stuart_N, May 2026
    We had a fabulous day in the countryside of Provence. Alex was a wonderful guide! He was very knowledgeable and was amenable to customizing our trip. This was a top ten day!

    Great day out in the French Riviera region!

    WeeLiat_C, May 2026
    A great introduction to the French Riviera region especially for those short on time. Ideal for a shore excursion. We had Alex as our driver guide and he could not be more wonderful. He was knowledgeable about the history of the region and shared many interesting facts throughout the day. He stopped at the best viewpoints so we could capture those beautiful photos that made our day out even more memorable. He was patient and kind and friendly, couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Since it’s a private tour, he could customize according to your group’s interest so don’t be shy to ask. Highly recommend this company and their guides - especially Alex!

    Great Tour!

    Kristine_T, Apr 2026
    Excellent overview of the history of Nice and surrounding areas. I think the 8 hours is a bit too long but a great way to see the area.

    Nice and Monaco tour

    Amit_D, Apr 2026
    It was a pretty comfortable tour . Roman was very helpful and gave us a good overview of nice and monaco . He could communicate in english very well.

    Great tour of the French Riviera!

    Vickie_S, Apr 2026
    Georges was an excellent driver and guide!! He was so informative and knowledgeable. He took so much time with us and we really got a feel for the French Riviera!!

    French Riviera in 9 hours

    Jeffrey_S, Apr 2026
    This 9 hour excursion was very informative catching all the sights of the French Riviera. It included stops in Monaco, Momte Carlo, Eze, Aberdine and St Paul Venne. The hours went quickly and were full of interesting facts.

    David the Tour Guide was simply wonderful and the tour was fantastic.

    Kara_G, Jan 2026
    David, our guide, was simply wonderful. His knowledge of the areas and commentary was really enjoyable and his humour and friendliness made this a day to remember. We were celebrating my son’s 19th birthday so he suggested a small change to the itinerary, meaning that we saw the car museum in Monte Carlo - something that my son and the rest of the group absolutely loved. The places we visited today were magnificent but I think the day was so fantastic because of David. We would highly recommend this tour.

    Wonderful day on the...

    Esther_S, Nov 2025
    Wonderful day on the French Riviera. Driver listened to our preferences at the beginning of the trip and he curated the trip just for us. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed every minute of it.

    Was and Monaco great....

    Andrew_B, Nov 2025
    Was and Monaco great. Rest of tour not worth it. Driver was nice and tried but we requested one who spoke English. We had a very difficult time understanding him

    French Riviera in a day ❤️

    Peggy_S, Nov 2025
    We had a wonderful day and enjoyed our tour so much. A few of us were a little skeptical about the stop at Eze but it turned out to be one of our highlights. The group was given time to explore on our own which was great!! Our driver/guide took us to a couple of non busy places to get some awesome shots of the coast. He was very patient and informative. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone that would like to explore the French Riviera in a day. Thank-you sooooo much for a beautiful day, we thoroughly enjoyed it ❤️

    Amazing French Riviera

    Jeanette_B, Nov 2025
    Roman was the perfect guide. Very knowledgeable and tailored our experience to our requests. Gave us just enough time in our spots. We chose not to do Cannes as we would have felt too rushed. The French Riviera is amazing and enjoyed this experience immensely.

    Excellent way to see the French Riviera!

    Cheryl_E, Oct 2025
    Very easy to customize the experience to meet your needs. Let your guide also make suggestions also. We saw and visited more than we expected by letting our guide make recommendations.

    Joshua_T, Sep 2025
    May not get full experience if leaving from Nice. Monaco was beautiful as was Eze as well! Ended tour an hour early.

    Wonderful, informative tour of the Riviera area

    Thomas_B, Sep 2025
    Wonderful, fun filled day while learning a lot about the surrounding area. Knowledge guide who catered to our needs, and filled us in with local information.

    Memorable day

    Linda_S, Aug 2025
    Our driver made this day very special. We wanted to go to the Rothschild villa so we substituted that for Cannes. On our way there he took us to a lighthouse with a beautiful view of the water and mountains. The villa was a great stop and we had a wonderful lunch there which he also recommended. He took us through Monaco and Monte Carlo as well. Eze is a must see spot as well.

    Private tour. South of France.

    George_K, Aug 2025
    Great tour with Georgi. We were able to customize the time spent at the different stops Georgi was pleasant and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this. All the stops were great, Eze, Monte Carlo, Antibes, and our favorite was Saint Paul de Vence.

    This was a full day tour,...

    Elizabeth_G, Aug 2025
    This was a full day tour, lots of time in the car. Summertime in the south of France is just super crowded, meaning we were crawling through the streets.Our driver, Yves, was a lovely man but had a heavy French accent which did provide somewhat of a language barrier. Also, he only spoke to the two people in the front of the van and did not engage any of the others, or the children. There was no education about the history of what we looked at, only lots of tidbits about the rich and famous, and how much things cost. He answered questions to the best of his ability, but it felt more like a drive than an actual tour. I was disappointed not to have learned something more about the history and culture of the area.
