Touring the Cote De Azur - What an absolute brilliant tour. Got to vidit Monaco old town which is like a disny movie film set very surreal. Monte Carlo casino where i had a Vodka Martini (shaken not stirred obviously) and the highlight visiting Eze which wasnt on my original things to do list but a stunning little medieval town very film set as well but very believable and packed full of idilic shops bars and photo stops. Our guide Anthony made the day a brilliant companion. Very funny, knowledgeable and engaging he was superb and as said really made the tour.

A fascinating and fact-packed tour - My wife and I booked our Monaco, Monte Carlo, Eze, La Turbie half day from Nice tour at short notice, but were happy to be able to get a space. We’ve not visited Nice or Monaco before, so it was great to have a knowledgeable guide to show us the sights.
Our guide Thin arrived at our hotel on time and made us feel welcome right from the start. He kept up the chat throughout, with plenty of interesting facts, and he took us to places we would never have thought to visit.
The highlights included the Jardin Exotique in Eze, an extra stop we weren’t expecting, but this was a climb up through the ancient streets to an enchanting garden full of exotic plants and sculptures, with spectacular views. After that, there was the tour of the Fragonard perfume factory, with a very knowledgeable guide who taught us a lot about how perfume is made.
It was lovely to see Monaco from the lookout point, where you can really appreciate how small and densely-packed the country is. Watching the changing of the guard at the Palace is like a step back in time, and we had a few extra minutes to take in the cathedral, the opera house, and the Monte Carlo casino.
All round a fantastic day, and would definitely recommend for a first-time visitor.

Wonderful experience! - The driver, Nikola, was worth his weight in gold. The air conditioned van was very comfortable and we saw places we didn’t even know existed. The tour of the Fragonard perfume factory was so interesting, the visit to Eze and the different parts of Monaco was brilliant. All round a wonderful and memorable experience. So glad we did this. I wish we had chosen the all day trip instead of the afternoon 6 hour trip.

Well worth doing! - Irene was very informative, and we all had a brilliant time. We did a lap of the Monaco race track which was my personal favourite part! Plenty of photo stops and rest breaks offered. The tour involves an uphill walk which is not suitable for everyone, wear trainers! I didn’t do that part but had a beer in a cafe and waited for the group to return. I would highly recommend this tour especially for the price.
