The day was delightful. We saw all the famous spots plus some small medieval gems. The time at each spot was just right. Catherine was knowledgeable about the history of the area and gave us clear instructions on what to see, the time we had at each stop and where to meet up. She made the day info packed and stress free. The perfume tour was an added bonus.

This is the best tour of the French Riviera !! A van and local guide pick you up at your hotel and lead you around the major cities here! The views are simply incredible!! I cannot say enough about how cool it was to see the famous casino and where the film festival is held. Super knowledgeable guide who made the day interesting and fun!!

Amazing tour!

Natasha_B, May 2026
Great experience, enjoyed it and had time to appreciate each place on our own a bit. Perfect balance of coastal walks, mountain breeze and absorbing each town’s uniqueness.

Steven_S, Apr 2026
Ben was an excellent guide and driver. He had to navigate around both a triathalon and Grand Prix races. His commentary provided us with knowledge of the various towns we visited. I would recommend Ben and this tour for someone wanting to get a flavor of the various towns surrounding Nice

Jazmin_G, Apr 2026
Our tour guide Catherine is the best tour guide i have used with your company. She is very knowledgeable of the places she took us as her knowledge is first hand, she is a local and she is bringing us to places where she is from and where she has lived. She not only gave us good information, she did it while driving, a very skillful and careful driver and always made sure we were safe. I highly recommend this tour with Catherine.

Wonderful Full Day

marcosings1, Apr 2026
This tour is a wonderful experience! We saw many amazing g spots in one single day. We understand why Cannes is on the itinerary since it’s iconic, yet we felt it was something we could have missed. There was a cycling race and seeing the red carpet didn’t feel worth the time. But we definitely know why it is on the list. Antibes, Saint Paul and Eze were incredible and worth having more time. Monaco was interesting and timely for the Grand Prix Historique. Seeing an actual race in person was amazing, and we managed our expectations of not really seeing the Casino up close as a result of the street closures. Our guide Salvador was fantastic!

Amazing Côte d’Azur experience

r_d, Apr 2026
Laurent was a wonderful guide and driver who enabled us to see so much of the French Riviera in 10 hours. He provided lots of interesting history and insights about the region and was able to adapt the itinerary so that we were able to watch some of the Monaco Grand Prix trials in spite of the traffic - an incredible experience. The small group enhanced the experience. Highly, highly recommend Laurent and this tour.

One of the best day tours ever!

Catherine_R, Apr 2026
It was incredible. Every stop was perfect. Saint Paul de Vence, Eze, Monaco...just enough time to whet your appetite for more. Perfect little stone villages. And Monaco!!. Sabine walked with us or we would have been soo lost. The "Historical" Grand Prix was running qualifying. 1970' car qualify as "Historical". Perfect ..the sights and sounds take me back. The stops at Eze and Saint Paul de Vence were amazing...just enough time to explore on our own. I would give this tour my highest recommendation. Enjoy!! We all agreed (8 of us) that it was great to have Sabine drive so we could just enjoy the sights. Go!!!

It was a “Full” day. A wonderful, beautiful experience that we will never forget. Highly recommend this trip but you will definitely get your steps in. But you can always have a cafe’ at one of the many restaurants and soak in the French Riviera to avoid some of the walks.

This was an absolutely amazing tour experience. This is a great way to see the the towns on the French Riveria. The tour company was extremely communicative. And our tour guide, Laurent was fun, lively, witty, kept the group engaged, knowledgeable not only about history of region and towns, but also strategic on which locations we visited in order to maximize the most of our time. I highly recommend this tour and Laurent as a guide.

Whirlwind sample tour of the French Riviera

Debbie_S, Apr 2026
It was a whirlwind tour with Roxanne! I expected it would be a long day because it’s a 10 hour tour. We covered a lot of ground, as stated in the description from Nice to Monaco and in between. Definitely the best of the French Riviera. If you want more time in each area this may not be the best tour for you although it’s a great way to get a sampling of a locale to visit again. We went back to Antibes the next day because we liked it so much.
