Best Tour of the French Riviera!
782mjl, Dec 2024
We had a really wonderful day touring the beautiful French Riviera with our incredibly kind, passionate and knowledgeable guide, Nabil. In spite of the busy summer tourist season, he managed to get us to Monaco and Monte Carlo before the crowds, giving us great photo opportunities and tons of really fascinating background and historical info… as well as plenty of time to explore our other beautiful stops. Both the villages of Eze and St Paul de Vence were absolutely amazing! Nabil is an expert in history, and we gained so much understanding from touring the area with him. There was no question he couldn’t answer. We never felt rushed, but covered so much ground in one day. You couldn’t find a more professional, gracious, knowledgeable guide than Nabil. We highly recommend Nabil and his tours!

Nabil was simply great. He was knowledgeable and gave us history and knowledge about all the places we visited. Even on the ride to the places, he would point to important monuments and buildings. More importantly, he didn’t rush us and allowed us to spend some time at all the places.
Great Site Seeing Tour for the French Riviera
kesnielas, Dec 2024
This is a great tour to see the major spots of the French Riviera! My friend and I were in Nice for 4 days and without this tour we probably wouldn't have been able to visit the many sites the South of France has to offer. Nabil was a great tour guide was energetic and enthusiastic to share all his knowledge about the French Riviera. Laurence was also a great addition to the tour by telling us her experiences visiting these sites and offering to take pictures for my friend & I. Overall would recommend this tour! I wouldn't have learned so much about the French Riviera if I didn't go on this tour.
Wonderful Day Trip

Excellent day trip outside of Nice. Our guide, Nabil, is extremely knowledgeable about the area and it's history which made the day very interesting. He is very friendly and professional and knows the ins and outs of all the places we visited. We were able to avoid crowds at Monaco and Monte Carlo and see the areas without mobs of people. Absolutely loved the medieval village of Saint Paul de Vence. Highly recommend this tour.
