“An excellent trip to Eze fragrance factory and village and the Principality of Monaco - We were picked exactly on time by our wonderful multilingual guide. First stop was at a fragrance factory, where the process of making the famous local product was demonstrated and then the produce was sold - at the same price as at outside shops. We then moved on to the quite beautiful ancient village of Eze, with its winding and steep streets. Definitely worth a visit.” - Reviewed on September 22, 2024

“Best tour experience in France - First of all, I would like to thank our guide for providing us with the best tour experience during our trip to France. We had a wonderful time in Eze and Saint-Paul de Vence. When we first met our guide, I thought they had sent us an American or Canadian as our tour guide because his English was that good. Our guide brought an iPad with him to show us the history of France and all the background information about the tour. We learned a lot and highly recommend booking this trip, as it will truly enhance your experience in France.” - Reviewed on October 15, 2024
