Great tour! Lots of sights, great views and very informative! Sabina, our host, really enjoys what she does and is a wealth of information. She always ensures her guests are comfortable and having a good time. She is the greatest!

Highlight for me was the Monaco Grand Prix circuit, highlight for my wife was Cannes red carpet and Monte Carlo window shopping. An excellent tour with an excellent guide Stephane, who was very informative with local history and goings on. Thoroughly recommend this tour and would love to do it again one day.

French Riviera tour

Yanina_M, Jun 2026
Great first impression of the French Riviera coast and its towns. Lots of interesting facts and stories from our guide. Highly recommended tour

Amazing day along the Riviera

Christy_P, Jun 2026
We had a fantastic day! Our driver picked us up at the hotel and we shared a van with two other families from the US. Our driver regaled is with stories from the region. At each spot, he gave us recommendations and then dropped us off with a time to return. Easily one of the best tours during our two weeks in France. I highly recommend it. Bring extra water (you can leave stuff in the vehicle) and realize French vans are a bit smaller than the average American van. There are a lot of stairs at many of the locations and lots of walking. We logged in almost 8 miles that day. We had no problems though and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Travelling in style around the French Riviera.

Paula_p, Jun 2026
It was a great experience. Catherine had a lot of knowledge about history, geography; she also shared from her past experiences, perished met, places she visited. She engaged with every single one of us in a nice and polite way, she shared jokes, gave us some good tips about what to visit , where to go, etc. All in all, we had a brilliant day.

Great way to visit a lot of towns surrounding Nice

Sean_M, Jun 2026
This was a great way to cover a lot of sites efficiently. We wanted to see a number of towns surrounding Nice, but would have taken a lot of time for us to explore on our own. This tour provided a really great way to visit a number towns in a single day, so we could sample each (and maybe later go back and revisit some of the highlights to spend more time). Daniel (our driver) was very personable and attentive, and shared lots of information throughout the day. We definitely recommend this tour, and would consider future tours.

Five-Star Riviera Experience

VenkatRamaMoh_B, Jun 2026
★★★★★ An outstanding Small Group French Riviera tour from Nice and a highlight of our visit. A special thanks to Laurent Soultan, an exceptional guide whose deep knowledge, passion, courtesy, and sense of humor made the day truly memorable. He brought the history, culture, and beauty of the Riviera to life while keeping the group engaged and entertained throughout. Highly recommended—especially if you have the opportunity to tour with Laurent.

See a lot in a day

Carolyn_B, Jun 2026
We wouldn’t have seen as much without this wonderful day trip. Sabine was an amazing guide she was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and obviously proud of the region. We were given recommendations on what to see and you explore each town by yourself so can do as much or as little as you want, although time in each town is limited. Would recommend to anyone visiting the region for a few days.

Excellent Way to See French Riviera in a Single Day

Maria_H, Jun 2026
This tour was an excellent way to get maximal exposure to the French Riviera in a single day! The many places the tour covered really gave my husband and me a sense of where we would most want to return to, and spend more time at, on our next visit to this area. Ben was a wonderful driver and guide and provided entertaining narratives! The food at the restaurant he recommended in St Paul de Vence was delicious.
