We have a group of 15 people. Our guides and drivers Nicholas and Fatima both did a very good job, thumbs up to them! they were experienced and accommodating especially when we lost our mind at the perfume factory shopping (naturally). We got to see a lot in just one day, every one in our group spoke highly of them and the experience.

First time visitor in the French Riviera

Suzette_B, Oct 2025
Milena spoke English perfectly and was extremely friendly. She really knew the history of the region and also pointed out the highlights of the area. We covered so much ground that we saw so much. We learned a great deal and hope to return to the French Riviera again. We loved the old town feel of Eze, loved Monaco, saw the glitz of Cannes, and discovered a sweet town called Antibes. We will definitely return because of our experience! Thank you, Milena!

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Dear Suzette, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a memorable day exploring the French Riviera with Milena. It’s great to know you enjoyed Eze, Monaco, Cannes, and Antibes, and that Milena’s knowledge and friendliness made the tour extra special. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another adventure! All the best!

Good day trip

KitYuVeronica_S, Sep 2025
The tour is good to go to many places in one day but time to stay for photo taking or shopping is too shot ranged from 20 minutes to a maximum of 45 minutes included lunch.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the opportunity to visit many places in a single day. We appreciate your note regarding the time at each stop—20 to 45 minutes can feel short for photos, shopping, or lunch, and your input is very helpful for future travelers to plan accordingly. We hope you still enjoyed the highlights of the tour and would love to welcome you back for another adventure, perhaps with a longer option to explore each location more fully. Warm regards,

Karen_M, Sep 2025
We went on this tour early in our trip and felt that we saw many of the highlights and had time to explore further in the places we found most appealing to us. Our guide Fatima was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the small group size made for a enjoyable day.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for this great Review! Regards

Charming, friendly, comfortable

Lilite_V, Aug 2025
I was originally very nervous about this tour and wasn't sure what to expect. As soon as I met Aroun, his energy is so positive and calming, my stress was gone immediately and I knew right away we were in good habds. He is warm, charming, friendly and caring. He made sure to connect on a personal level with all of his clients and I think this is so wonderful. He was always making sure everyone was ok and gave perfect tips on where we should go, what we should eat and what we should see. He went above and beyond at all times. Arun is very knowlegeable and passionate about history. If you can request to have him specifically, I would highly recommend him. Arun has a lot of heart and takes huge pride in his work. He really made this experience unforgetable for us. This is a great tour of you are pressed for time and would like to see the highlights of the French riviera in a day to just get a flavor of what the place is like. This was perfect for us and Arun was 10 stars amazing.

David_S, Jul 2025
Great time seeing all the hotspots of the French Riviera. We loved Eze for its old world charm, scenic vistas, and close proximity to Nice. Our guide Marco was awesome—he was knowledgeable, courteous, and attentive throughout the day. Highly recommend this fun excursion!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

We would recommend this tour to anybody that would like to see the highlights (in one day) of the amazing places in the Nice region. It was a long day but it well worth it. Our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

Many great locations to see and take in. Loved our experience. Visited places we would never have been able to on our own.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hello, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the experience and had the chance to visit unique locations that would have been hard to discover on your own. It’s great to know the tour made your trip even more special. Warm regards,

Great day - covered a lot of places on the French Riveria

Karen_N, May 2025
My friend and I were in a small group of 4 - which made for a more personal experience. Ben was friendly and very skilled at running this tour. It was fast paced but we did have time in Monaco and 20 minutes at the Casino. The casino was not open yet for gambling until afternoon, but we stilled paid the entry to see the gambling rooms and took a lot of pictures - it was amazing. The tour of the Monaco castle with audio headset ran 45 minutes and we only had 15-20 so we had to short cut that tour as well, but we saw both and they were impressive - note there is an additional fee to enter both. Monaco and Monte Carlo is a very crowded area and our guide did his best managing time to get there early to avoid the late morning / early afternoon crowds. We got to drive on the Formula One road which was happening the end of the month. We saw Eze and visited the Perfume factory which was better than I had anticipated. We drove out to Antibes and walked around the town and on to Cannes - we could not walk the read carpet as it was being torn up for an upcoming festival and was all walled off - disappointing as a long drive back to Nice, but not the fault of the tour guide, who tried to accommodate us in every way that he could. The tour is intended to be a highlight of the Riveria and it met our goal. If you are looking for more indepth visit to Monaco and Monte Carlo only, you should select a different tour. We wanted to see the coast so this fit our need. Ben is a great driver and shared insights.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear Karen, Thank you so much for sharing your detailed experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that you and your friend had a more personal experience with the small group size and that Ben was able to provide such a friendly and skilled tour. It’s great to know you enjoyed the highlights of Monaco, Monte Carlo, Eze, and Cannes, and that you appreciated the drive along the Formula One road. We understand the slight disappointment with the short time at the Casino and the Monaco Castle tour, as well as the unexpected change at Cannes, but we’re happy to hear that Ben did his best to accommodate your needs and ensure you still had a memorable day. Your feedback is valuable, and we’re so glad the tour met your expectations of experiencing the Riviera coast. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure! Best regards,

It was well worth the extra money to have a private tour with a knowledgeable driver. Having him drop us off at each stop with suggestions on what to do was awesome. It was a delightful day!

Day trip around Nice

Jay_M, Mar 2025
Excellent day excursion to several cities around Nice. Our 8-person group tour turned into a personal tour as we were the only ones traveling that day - perks of off-season travel, I guess 😀. Our driver/tour guide, Belo was amazing. Told us about all the history around the places we visited. The villages of Eze and St Paul de Vence were the highlights of the trip. Antibes was good too. A little disappointed that we couldn’t see the red carpet in Cannes and the palace in Monaco. But overall, an amazing trip. Special kudos to Belo, our guide and driver.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Bonjour Thank you for your kind and detailed feed back about your experience with us. We will forward your message on to Belo, he'll love it. This is exactly our goal: to create good memories! We hope to see you again on our tours. We look forward to see you again. We hope to welcome you on board again. It would be a real pleasure to meet you again! Wish you all the best!

Great Tour!

We had a great day, despite the rain. Bello was a great guide. He was knowledgable, professional, and extremely accommodating. We saw so much in one day. He made it all go so smoothly. Great tour! Highly recommended!

Franch Rivera overview

makhrin, Oct 2024
It was a nice sonny. We've seen a lot of places. Our driver was was very friendly and polite. You will not get a lot of information about the places you will go to. Read about it before you go and you will get better understanding the paces.

Excellent tour.

Mircea_T, Sep 2024
Victor was an excellent guide, with a great sense of humor. The tour itself was a great value for the money.

Driver experience not that good

Dale_R, Sep 2024
Was able to visit some sites not al the sites mentioned in the itinerary. Driver seems hurried and not that accommodating.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Hello, Thank you for your feedback! The French Riviera tour, as the name suggests, offers a brief overview of this stunning region in just one day. If you’d like to spend more time exploring different locations, you might consider booking separate tours that focus on just three places instead of 5. This way, you can really soak in the beauty and charm of each destination! Best Regards!

A must do

Henry_O, Sep 2024
Sebastion was a fantastic tour guide was obliging with everyone in the group went out of his way to accommidate us. He was very imformative and entertaining. The tour was great covered a lot in a day highlight for me was the village of St. Paul de Vence, Eze

Good to get to see different areas but tried to fit too much in considering the traffic challenges.

Chris_H, Sep 2024
The village of St Paul de Vence was lovely, we had an hour here, but it would have been great to have longer. Antibes was also nice to see, but then going to Cannes for 15 minutes to see the red carpet was a waste of time considering how hard it is to get into town with the traffic. Eze was also a lovely village, we skipped the parfumerie so had a bit of time there. Seeing Monaco was also good.

We were able to cover...

Mary_P, Sep 2024
We were able to cover alot of territory in a short period of time. Monoco and the little medieval villlages were amazing.

Fantastic day

Josh_E, Aug 2024
We were unsure if to book this trip or not but I’m so glad we did! It was amazing, our tour guide Tin was so informative and made the trip so much fun, we had our 10 year old son and 7 year old daughter with us and he was really good with them and they loved him! Tin got us to places perfectly on time, so we didn’t have to que when places got busy and we got to see the changing of the guards at the palace perfectly on time. This trip is perfect if you want to visit these places but are are unsure how to get to the best places. Thankyou Tin for such a great day and for answering all our questions and making us laugh, such a lovely person.

The tour guide was amazing and had so much information about everything we did and where we went. She knew what places were best and certain times and set up the tour to make sure we got the full experience and beauty of every stop in the full day experience. Definitely recommend if you want to see a lot of places but not sure which places are the best!

Worst Tour Guide

Lily_M, Jul 2024
While the French Riviera is beautiful, our Viator tour experience was the worst due to the poor service from our local guide, Victor.   * Our 9 hour was cut short by 2 hour and 23 minutes * We spend 30 minutes driving to pick up other passengers * We waited 30 minutes for other passengers that never showed up * Our tour guide (Victor) was missing/nowhere in sight for 50 minutes in Eza.  We had to called Viator both in the U.S. and local to track him down * Our local guide, Victor, decided to cancel our final destination to Carnes unless we paid him more money.  We returned to our hotel 33 minutes before the scheduled end time of 5:30pm. * Victor is only a driver, not a tour guide.  He simply dropped us off, point to the direction of sights, and told us to return at a certain time.  He never walks the sights with us to point out the highlights. * Victor complaint over our lunch taking 32 minutes when he wanted us to take 30 minutes We used Viator many times during our travels over the years. Most were good to great. This tour with Victor was far below expectation.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hello, Thank you for your feedback! Despite the guide's instructions regarding the timing at each stop, you took advantage of being alone on the tour to extend your visits, spending 2 hours at St. Paul and 1.5 hours at Eze. By 5 PM, you wanted to visit Cannes, despite the limited time remaining. However, the guide explained that due to the extra time you had spent at the earlier stops, it was no longer possible as the tour time had ended. He offered additional time at an extra cost, which you declined, leaving you very unhappy. We wish you all the best!

Excellent!

Ashley_B, Jul 2024
