Excellent! - 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!

Absolutely amazing! - 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.

Love, love and love her 🥰 - What an incredible excursion, we loved visiting all these stunning medieval villages that we couldn’t have managed on our own. Elizabeth was extremely knowledgeable on all the history of each site and more. Her experience and humor made us all feel like we were part of her family. She treated each of us like a VIP and catered to our specific need. We wish that she can be our personal guide on every tour. Elizabeth is the absolute BEST and we all fell in love with her..

French Riviera Tour - Rym was an amazing tour guide you could tell you that she loves her job and is a passionate tour guide, we went on the Best of the Riviera Full Day Tour & would highly recommend it! We were picked up from our hotel and then taken around the French Riviera. At each stop Rym explained the main attractions within the area and then allowed us to explore the area within an allocated timeframe and then met us at a meeting point in each location before heading onto the next one. This tour is a great way to visit Cannes, Monaco, Monte Carlo etc. without having to organise the logistics yourself and with the luxury of doing the trip in an air conditioned mini van! Just to summarise I’d highly recommend Rym, as she was very hospitable, knew lots about the Riviera and even gave us recommendations of things we could do in each area if we wished to come back and ideas of things to see / do in Nice too!

Comprehensive and beautiful tour - This was a fully comprehensive tour of the Cite d’Azure from Cannes to Monaco. Mimi, our guide, was fantastic. She did a terrific job navigating the twisting and steep roads. We saw so many beautiful sites. The guide provides information during the ride from one place to another, but we were on our own to explore at each stop. It is a long day, but every site was worth seeing. We saw much more than we would have done on our own.

Take at the beginning of your visit to Nice! Highly recommend. - My partner and I had a great time on this tour. There were a total of 8 of us (across 3 parties) and everyone was lovely and got along. The day before the tour, we were contacted on What'sApp to confirm our hotel pickup and given a time. We were the first pickup at 8:20 am — we stopped at 2 other hotels in Nice to pick up the other parties, and were on our way around 9am. We were in an air-conditioned van that sat exactly all 8 of us. I thought it was fairly comfortable, and that is coming from a tall, overweight person with a bad back :) Some recommendations: - I brought a bigger bag that I kept in the van, which included water, umbrella, and jacket and carried a smaller cross-body bag for my wallet/essentials. My bag was safely locked in the van and I had no worries about it. - If you don't have time to eat before the early pickup, don't worry. There are plenty of opportunities at most stops to get something to eat/drink, as well as using the restroom. - I recommend comforable shoes – sometimes there are a lot of stairs and overall a LOT of walking. - We had perfect weather for our tour – since we had the option to not pay until 2 days in advance, i'd recommend doing that so you can see what the weather is like. If it is cloudy/rainy, i can't see it being worthwhile to go when you miss out on being able to see all the vistas. - I'd recommend this tour to friends at the beginning of a trip to Nice so you have the option to visit your favorite villages later! ---- Stop 1: Villefranche-sur-Mer We were given the opportunity to get out at a couple of scenic overlooks to take some aerial photos of Nice and the surrounding area. ----- Stop 2: Eze / Stop 3: Fragonard Perfume Factory Tour During my tour, these stops were the same location. We were first ushered into the factory for a 30 minute tour about how perfume is made. Of course, there is also a sales shop and they invite you to go through a demonstration of their products (sniff different fragrances, try on different lotions, etc.) It was a fairly low-pressure sales pitch, but a cash-grab none-the-less. After the tour, we were directed to go up some steps and enter the village of Eze. We had about 20 minutes to explore, which really just meant you have enough time to grab food/drink and not really walk anywhere. This stop was the only disappointing part of the trip. If I were to do it again, i'd insist on skipping the tour and spending that hour of tour/demonstration/shopping to walk around Eze. To be fair to the perfume tour, I did find it interesting. Perfume is one of the "arts" France is really known for, and seeing how much effort and science is put into perfumery made me appreciate it as a craft. -------- Stop 3: Monaco / Stop 4: Monte Carlo This stop was interesting – I had no idea how small Monoco is (or what "MonteCarlo" actually encompassed!). We spent some time outside the Prince's palace, got some panoramic views, walked a bit into the village, and then drove on part of the actual F1 route (including the famous hairpin turn). My husband, an avid F1 fan, was very pleased with this stop. ------ Stop 4: Cannes We had almost 45 min to explore on our own here. This is a great place to stop and grab a coffee/sandwich for lunch, if you are hungry (there are many restaurants in the square with outdoor seating. Overall it is very busy but nice to see where the Cannes festival is held! ----- Stop 5: Antibes and Stop 6: St-Paul-de-Vence These were by far my 2 favorite stops on this tour. The 2 villages are very unique. St-Paul-de-Vence was voted the most beautiful village in the French Riviera, and I can see why! It's a charming walled village (like a beautiful version of old Dubrovnik). There are many artisans here, so if you're a fan of shopping for crafts this is a place to explore! My only wish was that we went here earlier in the day – by 7pm, many of the shops were closing. On the bright side, the sun was starting to set so we got beautiful vistas. We arrived back to our hotel by 8pm.

Tour went longer than advertised, which is great!! - The tour was rushed. That being said, several people were late getting back from free time and that delayed getting to the next stop. There were English and Spanish speaking people on the tour. The tour guide had to use both languages to do the tour. The majority of the tour was done in Spanish and I missed a lot of information because I only speak English. The good thing that happened is the tour lasted 10+ hours. She gave us extra time due to traffic and time delays. However, she drove reckless and too fast.
