    On the way to Eze, we invite you to enjoy the panoramic view of Villefranche over Cap Ferrat, the Bay of Millionaires and its famous villas.

  • Eze - Eze is one of the most picturesque villages on the Côte d’Azur perched as an eagle’s nest on top of an imposing and beautiful cliff at 429 meters above sea level. It will allow you to travel through the medieval times while enjoying breathtaking landscapes on the French Riviera.

It is one of the most attractive and interesting places to visit on this section of the coast, with all the ingredients you could hope for - an attractive seafront area, historic buildings, and an interesting old town with a traditional market.

Unforgettable Views with a great workout. - This was an amazing trip!! Our guide Alex was phenomenal giving us tilbits of history and fun facts. He knew all the nice viewing spots and shortcuts. We only had a small set back with pesky jelly fish on our beach stop, but we made the best of it. Light lunch was provided. We were a small group which help us to keep a great pace. I highly recommend this tour if you like to find hidden gems, amazing views and get your workout in.

Good tour covering many places - Generally good tour very comprehensive. Guiding was adequate but not exceptional . It is difficult for one person to drive and guide , although it’s only eight people and when no microphone is used Not everyone can hear in the van . But the guide was to deliver what was expected after the tour we saw a lot of places in one day. A very worthwhile tour

Don't sleep on this one! - Elizabeth was a wonderful guide! Engaging and knowledgeable, she easily switched from Spanish, French, and English to accommodate our diverse tour group. I would have liked to spend more time in Monaco, but we saw everything that was on the list and the sights were amazing. Good communication with the organizers, and hotel pickup/drop off made this trip a breeze. Worth the money - I highly recommend this tour!

Wish we had more time. - When we chose this tour we were excited of all the places it was stopping, however quickly we learned that we wouldn’t get enough time at any of the places. Our guide Maria was great to no fault of her own most stops were very short. Eze we didn’t have time to enter the botanical garden which is the highlight of the stop. By the time we reached the top it was time to leave. Monte-Carlo and Cannes were literally a 20 minutes stop. Definitely it takes time to get to all these places but the time in each stop doesn’t do justice. Transportation was good.

Book with someone else. False description!!! - this review is in regards to the tour description and not the actual tour company!!! Bingo tours amd happy riveria tours are the same company. They cokbine 2 half day tours to make this full day tour. While thr driver was great and provided the information and we did go to all the stops, the description on viator is a work of fiction which the company readily admits. The stops are 20-30 minutes at each stop, 10 min of which is spent walking to the actual.spot from the parking lot. Lunch time was nonexistent and forget about stopping for bathrooms. The driver rushed us through in the am to hurry up for the pm pickup back to nice and then the afternoon was rushed because "we dont work overtime in france". Basically it was driving around in the van hopping out for 5 min to be shown something. The description of the tour of viator is actually from a company called French riviera sightseeing who do actually spend the appropriate amount of time at each spot. Book with them instead unless you want to spend 9 hours in a small van

Would not recommend. - Seven people in this van is uncomfortable and very hot for an entire day trip. The tour schedule did not allow for the time listed in locations and found this trip cut down to 20 /30 min in some of the locations I looked forward to seeing. There was a very rude Italian man on our tour and our guide did not do anything to intervene. He reserved the best seat for himself and his very pregnant US wife was always in the front seat. They were continuing allowed to return late to meeting times and picked up separately— I felt like I was on their private tour.
