Best of the Riviera Full Day Tour

This all day tour was fantastic! We were picked up at our hotel at the time indicated to us the previous day. The tour consisted of 6 people from differing parts of the world. Our driver, Elizabeth, was very polite, knowledgeable, engaging, and demonstrated a lot of patience and empathy. She ensured that one of the travelers requiring additional time due to mobility issues had a wonderful time along with the rest of the tour group.

During our first stop in Eze, she provided us exceptional door to door service for our perfume factory tour. The tour was informational and offered us the opportunity to learn about fragrances and to also purchase them. From the factory, we took a short drive within Eze to explore the local church and the magnificent views of the bay and sea.

Our next stop was at Monaco. The drive through the coast was very nice. Upon arrival in Monaco, Elizabeth dropped us off and allowed us to walk through the small streets towards the Palace. The palace was very nice and we were able to view the changing of the guard. The discipline and precision of the guards was awesome to see. We were also able to take panoramic photos of the areas overlooking Monaco on both sides of the palace. As we started to head to the van, we walked by the local church where Grace Kelly married the prince. Our final stop was at the museum of oceanography. Once again, Elizabeth ensured that our tour participants all had her personal attention.

Next was Monte Carlo. Another great stop to experience the luxury of the area. We did not see too many high end cars due to the early time of day, but we are sure they would have been seen had it been later in the day. The Hotel de Paris was great to actually see in person. We walked through the Casino and took many pictures and videos.

Once we departed Monte Carlo, we headed back to Nice to drop off two of our tour participants and pick up another for the rest of the tour. We headed to Antibes and had the opportunity to grab a bite to eat and walk through this local area. The food was very good and the service even better.

After Antibes, we headed to Cannes. This portion of our tour was shorter than the others, but just enough time to see the main part, the red carpet! This was an experience we see on tv all time during the Cannes Film Festival and was great to experience it in person.

Our final stop was in Saint Paul de Vence. This area offered many arts and paintings to see in the many stores through the cobblestone streets. We enjoyed walking through the narrow streets and seeing people enjoying themselves. This tour was definitely worth the time spent.

Overall, we had a great time! Elizabeth made our day enjoyable, informative, and pleasurable. Her driving skills are exceptional and her vast knowledge of the areas visited was impressive. Throughout our day, we kept running into other tours, but they didn’t seem as engaging as Elizabeth. If we had questions, she had answers. If we needed assistance, she provided it. And if something needed attention, she was willing to address it. I would recommend this tour, but especially if Elizabeth was the tour guide!

Hubby and I Loved our Best of the Riviera Tour w/ Guide driver:Jean Francois: Everywhere we went we saw much more than we ever would’ve if we had rented a car to do it. Driver was knowledgeable, entertaining and funny. The places we went were Magnificent. The Views: WOW!

LOVED the garden Views in Eze! We liked Antibes a lot; and we really loved Saint Paul de Vence. Very Nice Views from Mt Boron, Villefranch-sur-Mer, short visit to Monaco, Cannes…small old towns - LOVE. Great Stories, background music, Humor: Everything Well Worth it!

This tour gave me a great view of the Riviera region. Myriam/ Mimi made this long day a special one. She was amazing! The beauty of the region was highlighted in this ambitious tour. I felt very comfortable despite traveling solo.

I highly recommend this tour if you want to speed date the French Riviera. We were only visiting Nice for a few days and wanted to squeeze the most from our trip. We packed so much into the day and saw everything we needed to see. Our tour guide, Bruno, was superb, a local who guided us to see the very best there was to see and was able to answer all our questions. On top of that he was most entertaining and humorous so the travelling parts were great fun.

Superb full day tour with plenty time at each planned stop.

our Driver /Guide Rym not only kept to time throughout but was continuously informative of every individual aspect of the day.

Would highly recommend this Tour and especially Rym for a great overview of the Riviera and all it's attractions!

Our tour guide, Elizabeth, was so friendly and welcoming. She made it seem like we had all been friends long before we had met that day. We had went to a lot of destinations that day and our tour guide was very knowledgeable about each location. Nothing seemed rehearsed and it was an added delight to hear her personal stories. She was very energetic which kept us all hyped through out the whole tour. The itinerary for the whole tour was very packed so the amount of time per location was just enough to give you an idea of which locations you would like to return to for another trip. I would definitely book this tour again with Elizabeth as our tour guide!

We had an absolutely amazing time on this tour. Our guide Mimi was incredible. Very knowledgeable and fun! You can tell she enjoyed what she was doing. We were a small group of 8 and by the end we were all laughing and enjoying each other’s company. There were many inside jokes by the end. I would highly recommend.

This was a great tour. There were only 8 of us including our your guide Miriyam who was fantastic.

As a lone traveller, it was nice to be with a group of lovely people. They definitely made the tour even better than it already was.

The timing at each place was perfect. Our guides knowledge was great!

I really recommend this tour. It was one of my favourite days from my Europe trip!

The itinerary was very well-planned, we had adequate time for each spot and our tour guide Mike was very well-versed with the history of each spot, so we could understand the historical significance and backstory behind the architectures and cities. Mike was also incredibly friendly and humourous. He made the entire experience very fun. The total number of participants in our tour was 7, it was a perfect size for a tour as we all got to bond and chat.

The day was excellent and we saw all of the Côte d’Azur. Stopped in plenty of places with time to see the area. Mike the driver was excellent and told us all the necessary facts of the area
