What a wonderful experience. Our guide was so kind and informative. He picked up right at the tender drop off and was easy to find. I felt we had ample time at each spot although would have loved maybe an extra half hour at Monaco City center. I kept seeing these huge tour groups of 30-40 from the ship and was so grateful to be in our smaller group of 8. It was definitely the right choice and we hit all the highlights!
Highly recommended tour. Guide was very knowledgeble about the area and answered any and all questions.
Audrey was our guide and she was Very Good. She covered everything thoroughly and provided a lot of information regarding Monaco & France, in general. She was kind and sensitive to our needs as far as sitting and climbing the hills of Eze. Our group had 6 visitors and was quite intimate. We ate with our new friends. Audrey is the best and should be commended for her work. She has been a tour guide for 8 years and is really good at her job. Merci beaucoup!
Felt a bit rushed. Honestly, the stop at Monaco was early morning before the shops opened. Not that we’d be doing much shopping at Rolex, Cartier, or Hermes. He briefly explained that we were on the race track, yet it didn’t compute until much later. I like tours with a bit more history and background of the area I’m visiting. Even the palace was curated as a brief highlight, not really worth it. They should give the option of a person led tour instead of audio tours. Brief walk around the perimeter and a couple of the rooms. I enjoyed Iolini palace tour in Hawaii. More culture, history, and rooms to view.
A great experience traveling to Monaco and Montecarlo—places that belong on every bucket list.
The guide was experienced, very friendly, knowledgeable and managed the time well... a great family experience!
What an amazing experience! Had some time to explore Eze and Monte Carlo. The perfume tour was better than expected. Our tour guide Alex was great and made lunch reservations for us in Monte Carlo. There was a total of 6 on this excursion and it was pleasant getting to know one another. We had time to explore the sights on our own . We were back at port in time for departure. Tour operators were always responding to a questions that I had. Thanks for making this a memorable experience!
We had an excellent tour with Lucy on July 10. She was very energetic and informative on the tour. She took us to some great spots for viewing in Eze and drove the entire F1 circuit in Monte Carlo. We had just found out that morning that our tour for the next day cancelled and she offered to make phone calls for us to help us find something else. We really had a great time and our guide played a big part of that.
We had a great time on Monaco/Eze/Monte Carlo tour. The guide was excellent. We began our tour in Eze then toured a perfumery. Next was Monaco. He pointed out the best spots and even arranged lunch reservations. One member of our group was having trouble due to the heat and bad knees. He had the rest of our group go ahead and he went back to help him. He certainly went above and beyond for us.
Great tour. Xavier was an amazing guide, knowledgeable about everything related to the villages, Monaco. Everything! Highly recommend!
Eze was beautiful and it was fine to drive around Monaco a bit, see the changing of the guard, and see the casino. Our guide was great.
This was a nice multi stop tour with great guide. Nice size group to stay together and on time. Recommend for anyone. There are stairs though.
though it started with a bad node as they forgot to pick us up but were very fast on figuring out another driver. our driver was lucy and she was the best. she knew how to tell stories how to keep things exciting. loved every bit of the tour. didn’t feel rushed.
Our guide Audrey was very friendly and knowledgeable. There was a lot of time for self-driven exploration at the different locations (ie Eze and Monaco). The perfume factory was very interesting and even my teenage boys enjoyed it though they definitely enjoyed seeing all of the exotic cars in Monte Carlo the most. Overall, a fun day to share with my family!
We arrived by cruise ship. Best tour we booked so far!! Our tour guide Jaoued was so great and informative! Took us to great photo spots! Had planets of time to walk around and have lunch.
This was a more relaxed tour to Monaco taking 7 hours rather than 5, which is too rushed. We had a very pleasant driver who knowledgeably pointed out all the places of interest. We had done a previous tour from Nice and this took a more scenic route with the call to the perfumery at the latter part of the trip so that we didn’t have shopping bags to be in the vehicle all day.
Excellent opportunity to see three quintessentially French things in 6-7 hours: Eze, Monaco/monte Carlo, and a perfume factory.
Fun and educational tour. Be prepared to climb a lot of steps. Our guide Xavier was great. Highly recommend.
Our guide was awesome and even thought ahead to rearrange our itinerary to avoid crowded times. Greatly appreciated.
Sabine was a fantastic guide who explained items of interest with passion and humour. We got to see a lot and were back to our ship without any stress.

We enjoyed the places we visited. Disappointed that we did not receive more knowledge from our guide. Reading the other reviews, it would’ve been nice to have more information about the area we were visiting. Glad we skipped the perfume factory. It gave us more time at the other stops.

This experience was seamless from start to finish. Ben was such a great guide with lots of good information about the area. He was a fantastic driver and navigated the narrow streets and tunnels of Monaco with ease. Highly recommend! However, if you plan to spend time in Monte Carlo at the casino, you may want to extend your time and take the train back to Nice, which is a wonderful suggestion that Ben provided.

Julien was actually really great. Took us extra little places …. A good value.
We were able to have a taste of different things as far as locations.
I did think since it said shore excursion that we were taking a boat from Ville franche to Monaco and then a drive around. My mistake.
