I really enjoyed this experience; was able to see a lot for the day tour. I felt that Sylvie was a very good guide and very knowledgeable, made the trip fun.
This was a thorough and enjoyable visit to the French Riviera. Our driver, George was personable, courteous and knowledgable of the area. He pointed so many sights that we would have missed on our own to to mention the convenience of being driven around in a clean, air conditioned van with a skilled driver. My wife had some ambulation difficulties and George was so kind to enable her to enjoy this tour.
The tour started fine. However, midway through the tour & all the way to the end was when everything went downhill. The guide/driver, Laurent, was so concern about the time & traffic that he even ended up having a shouting match with another driver as we were leaving Cannes. Mind you, this was after EVERYONE who participated in this tour was ON TIME with the scheduled return on each stop. During our stop in St Paul de Vence, we were even waiting for him 5 mins before his set time for us to return. But what left a sour taste in this tour was at the end. He was rushing through the traffic and everyone to leave because acdg to him, it was a 10 hour tour & he was pushing towards the 11th hour & he said, the company only pays him to do 10 hours of work. If this is the case, 1st, the company should not have included too many stops so everything will fit in that 10 hrs including the drive back to Nice. 2nd, you are driving/taking tourist to the spots. What do we know about traffic conditions? He was so upset that we all felt that he just arrived in Nice & started this job 1 week ago because he was so livid with the traffic conditions! We were rush that as we left his van at the end of the tour, he simply shove all our stuff that were at the back of his van & told us that he knew it was ours. As we were going down, we started checking & quickly realized that the shopping bag we pick up belong to the other passenger. We quickly turn around & shouted at him as he was getting back into the van but he completely ignored us. My friend run after his van, tapping the side, calling his name but he just kept driving. Even the people on the sidewalk tap his van because those people knew that we were trying to get his attention. But off he goes! I got his phone number on whatsapp & called him to let him know about the shopping bag switch & that was when he told me that he cannot stop or turn around because he is only paid 10 hrs & he has worked more than that. All this incident including him reminding us repeatedly about the time (even though each & every one of us in that van were all on time) made this a very stressful tour because we were all watching the time instead of enjoying the view & places we were supposed to be visiting!
Covered few places and they took one person for half day tour and had to stop back at nice again . Lost 40 minutes there . The driver wanted to cover the time and get home quickly . He rushed the rest of the tour . No lunch break . Overall covers a lot of things but quickly and does not get to see
Rym was our tour guide and she was exceptional. She was friendly, kind, and took care of us every second of the day.
We saw so many amazing views today! It was a little fast paced, but we saw so much! Highly recommend this!!
Tour was excellent. Laurent was our tour guide and he did a fabulous job! He was a good driver and provided us with the history of the region and explained well how much time we had and where to meet.
So many stops for various viewpoints and towns. Saw so much in one day with ample time in each spot. The tour was nice because if you liked a certain spot, could always go back another time. Was nice to get a taste of so many different areas. We were even traveling with our 6 year old son and he enjoyed himself too.
Great tour!
This is a wonderful tour. Our guide Rym was very informative and a tremendous driver. She guided us and was very precise about where she dropped us off and where we would meet to go to our next stop. She really made this tour very fun, and my wife and I were very appreciative of the care she took with everyone in our group.
This tour was the best. We wanted to see the French Riviera without the hassle of trains trams and buses… We found it with this full day tour. This tour was the easy button for us. We were able to decide where we wanted to spend the little extra time we had on our other days in the area. Mr. Ben was a great guide. He was good to us, he made the tour fantastic. Thank you Ben. Don’t hesitate to book with Ben and his colleagues.
The trip was amazing covering many locations in a day. Our tour guide from Happy Riviera was very helpful and accommodating. He kept us all on schedule so we can follow the plan to see many places. Highly recommended to anyone who has a day to explore Nice and Monte Carlo.
This was one of the most comprehensive day trips I have ever been on (and I have visited 34 European countries). Dennis did an exceptional job of both driving and narrating! He was always safety-conscious and gave us great tourist tips at each stop. We fit SO much into just one day! I still can’t believe how many beautiful places we got to visit! Thanks so much for an awesome day!
The tour was great , well worth it. The tour guide Giorgi was an excellent tour guide and safe and good driver. He points out interesting /attractions along the way and go the extra mile for everyone.
Raphael, our guide, was perfect, kind and helpful.
The sights and the routes were really nice, as expected. Staying at the sights was not always as described, maybe due to traffic in some routes.
The mini van was nice but not so spacy for 7 passengers.
We had been to Nice and Riviera four or five times in the past but it was out friend’s first time. A full day of the Riviera highlights. Our friend was most impressed but our guide, Jeff, still surprised us too. What good company he was, full of knowledge and humour.
Very personal relax atmosphere with 8 people. The driver picks you at your Hotel which made it less stressful. Rhym was great about explaining details of the history as well as giving directions to get to and from different areas. The views were amazing. Definitely will use your services again.
to accompany failed to confirm a time that we were meant to be picked up . We left the many messages. There was no communications until someone knocked on our door early in the morning wanting to pick us up. We found the tour rushed. We weren’t able to have a look around properly at any of the places we stopped. It was difficult to see out of the vehicle. When you’re sitting in the middle. I saw a lot of grass. It was a long day. The guide was pleasant and informative, but it was so rushed. It was unpleasant.
The descriptions in the brochure for this tour said that we would be stopping for an hour to an hour and a half at each stop a lot of the stops. We stopped for 10 minutes or 30 to 40 minutes often times I could barely reach the destination by foot in that time so turned around halfway through it was a disappointing experience. what’s the trips took us to the places highlighted in the description? Adequate time? Was not allowed to see or get a feel for these places.
Very good tour. Saw so many places. Jam-packed with information. Dennis was a fantastic guide and very friendly and he kept all of our group to a tight schedule
A wonderful day trip on the Riviera. We walked along the walls of Antibes, visited the market and absinthe bar there, visited St Paul de Vence with its many galleries, stopped in Cannes, had a tour of Fragonard perfumeries, climbed up to Eze, and visited Monaco and Monte Carlo. Our guide Jeff was fabulous, knowledgeable and very considerate to the abilities of the group.
Very good and recommended attaction. Visit many places but too short time. But they give more time to spend so it is Ok.
This is a very good tour to see the many places around Nice. Our guide Elizabeth gave us a lot of information about each place we visited. She entertained the group in both English and Spanish. All places we visited were very good, except for the perfume factory which could be skipped. Elizabeth was excellent in her knowledge about each place and her driving was good as well.
Our tour guide Elizabeth was one of the best tour guides I have ever had on any tour. She was super informative and hilarious the entire tour, we had the best time and highly recommend requesting her!!!!
Our guide Elizabeth was FANTASTIC ⭐️ If I could give her a million star rating, I would. We booked this tour for our girls trip and Elizabeth made our experience so memorable. We laughed so hard and our faces hurt so much from smiling today! Thank you so much Elizabeth…we hope to see you again one day!!!
Myriam drove us all across Cote d'Azur. It was a comfortable journey in a large car. There was my group of 4 in the morning for the Cannes part of the trip, and then another 4 joined in the afternoon for the Monaco portion for the trip.
Myriam had so much knowledge to share, but more importantly was just delightful. We enjoyed getting to know her.
Thank you Myriam for a wonderful tour! I would recommend for everyone.
Because the itinerary has too many stop off locations. It makes each stop only about 30 minutes, which is not enough time to really enjoy any part of the tour. If you’re looking just to check several things off your list to say you’ve seen them then this may be OK. We’ve got rushed the entire day.
Jaba, our tour guide AND driver, was absolutely remarkable and made the entire trip! He was an absolutely excellent, careful driver on some extremely windy country roads, and he was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went as well as other places in Europe. This trip stopped at several beautiful, small villages, and our driver knew all of the great lookout points on the passage from which to take the very best pictures. We stopped at the lavender fields last and,
because it was so hot, I was so grateful that they knew of a private lavender farm. The pictures were absolutely unbelievable that we were able to take there and there was only the five of us in the whole field. We were able to shop afterward at the family gift shop. The boat ride at the Gorge de Verdon is absolutely worth every penny. This is definitely one of my all-time favorite day
Dennis was such a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and helped us explore the cities of Cannes, Antibes, St. Paul de Vence, and Monaco! Can’t recommend this tour enough. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel and the group size was just right at 8 people! Thanks Dennis!!!
We had a great day. Very well organised and Mario was so knowledgable about the region and really looked after us very well. We had such a great experience and already planning our next visit.
This was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it! It's an easy way to see the beautiful Côte d'Azur, all while having the freedom to explore however you want. Ryma was an incredible guide who conducted the tour simultaneously in French and English, and kept us on time. You won't regret this tour!
Our tour guide Mario is one of the best tour guide. Great sense of humor and orientation to history and all other details.
Such a beautiful way to see Nice from the water. The cruise around lasted the perfect amount of time and was very well run.
