Fantastic overview of the French Riviera!
KatelynSchmidtmann, Dec 2024
We had the best time with Tebo! He was a fantastic guide with lots of great knowledge. We had a jam packed today with enough time in each stop to really get the vibe of a place. We would (and have!) recommended this tour to anyone! 10/10
Great Guide Do not ride in back of van
Karen_V, Dec 2024
Guide was a wonderful person. Knew the area very well and answered everyone’s questions. He was on time and kept the group moving. As we were picked up last we ended up in the back and never heard a word the entire tour. We felt the company should invest in a microphone for the driver. Also with a bad knee and 73 it was very hard getting in and out every stop. 2 youngest girls were in the front/oldest in back (after booking 5 months prior) a couple points of interest were skipped and tour felt rushed. Last time I took this tour we had 2 hours in Monaco. This trip 1 hour in Monaco clearly not enough time. So after $400 for 3 people we had to go the next day to see the missed sights on our own dime. Make sure the tour is as shown before you book.
Thanks Tibo

Thanks Tibo for being a time for hotel pick up and giving us a great day around Cannes, Nice, Monaco and Monte Carlo. We covered a lot of ground with no issues.
Great Way to see all the best spots in the French Riviera
Peter V, Dec 2024
Great all inclusive tour that gives you a comprehensive tour of all the spots to see. Our guide was super kind and knowledgeable
You should absolutely do this.
DrC2222, Dec 2024
I’m sure that this is not the least expensive tour you could take in Nice, But I am also sure that it is one of the very best. We had a group of eight people, three couples and two singles, and nobody knew each other to start, But we all made friends and by the end of the day it was very sad to say goodbye. Our guide, Laurent, Grow up in the area and learned to swim in the Mediterranean here. He knew the in and out of every single town, beach, store and bathroom on the whole coast. So helpful, so funny, very engaging. He involved everyone in conversation at some point. So the people were excellent, but I would imagine what you really want to know about is the tour…
We visited all of the locations mentioned in the brochure, they are unbelievable. So many absolutely gorgeous places. The water is a color I have never seen before, beautiful. Monaco is an otherworldly place, and our stops there we’re very eye-opening. You can see the same places on your own, but It will take forever and be horribly frustrating, and you will not learn what you learn on a tour like this, especially with a great guide like Laurent.
