The trip was amazing! Our guide, Hedwig, was loaded with information and really ensured that we soak in all the beautiful, scenic places with its history. I loved Eze village and the drive to and from La Turbie! She even suggested good places to shop at reasonable rates in Monaco! Amazing trip! Thank you to the team! -

Sarah was our tour guide. There were 8 of us in the van. She drove the van and was a safe driver. She narrated and answered questions all along the way. She was very clear about pick up and drop off places, when to meet and how much time we were allotted for each stop. She was professional but personable and funny. It was a terrific day, she was a wealth of knowledge and the trip definitely worth the price. -

We were picked up on time at our chosen location and were thrilled to find out that the four of us were on a “private tour”. Zara was an excellent guide - friendly, intelligent, and engaging. Enjoyed the entire day with Eze being the highlight. Highly recommend. -

Our driver, Xavier, picked us up from the hotel and we were pleased to see that we were the only customers on the tour so we had Xavier to ourselves which was great. He was very helpful and gave us a very good commentary along the way and met us promptly at all the arranged stop-off points along the way. The old village of Eze was well worth a visit and we had plenty of time there and also in Monte Carlo. Generally a good day out. -

Ben our guide was very informative. Trip to the various places were very nice. We had 2 hours of free time in Monoco by the Prince’s Palace, 30 min of free time down by the Casino in Monoco, 30 minutes of free time in Eze. We made a number of stops to take pictures. The perfume factory tour was quite interesting. Highly recommend. -

Awesome tour to Eze, Monaco, and Monte Carlo. Our guide, Xavier, is extremely knowledgeable and gave us a lot of interesting info about all aspects of Nice, Eze, and Monaco. The group is small enough (6 people) so he had time to answer all of the questions we had, as well as gave some very good recommendations. The tour started with Eze, where we stopped for about an hour to explore the village and about 45 minutes or so in Fragonard perfume factory. The village is absolutely gorgeous. I’m so glad that we visited during winter, although the hotel and most restaurants were closed, but we had a great opportunity to enjoy the village for ourselves without competing photo spots with 2000 other people during peak season. I highly recommend to go up the garden on the top of the village (you have to pay for ticket tho). The panoramic view of the ocean and all the cacti are so worth it. Then the tour continued to Monaco where we stopped at the Prince Palace and had 2 hours to explore and had lunch. We were lucky enough to get here on time for the guard changing event (they started around 11:45am). One thing I love about this tour is that it s kinda like a semi-guided tour where the guide dropped us off at a meeting point and we can freely explore for a certain amount of time before getting picked up. Then we headed to Monte Carlo where we can explore for 45 minutes. The last part of the tour is he drove us on the Formula 1 track where they host Grand Prix every year in May. A huge shoutout to our tour guide Xavier for this great experience. I highly recommend this tour -

A really eye-opening day trip, travelling to Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Eze, as well as a bit of Nice with a small group! My tour guide, Andreas, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, and always had wonderful recommendations for us. The pick up service at the hotel was very convenient and the trip was well-paced too. Going to Monaco was certainly the highlight of the tour! -

Hagrid was very knowledgeable! We were very impressed. She was also kind and accommodating when we asked for photos. When she heard our lost luggage finally arrived at the airport, she offered to drop us off and show us how to get back to our hotel. Thank you Hagrid! -

A very good and enriching tour. The tour guide is very patient and explain everything in details. Unfortunately, winter may be a bit lesser crowded (lesser shops opened) but its perfect for us nonetheless. -

This was a great day exploring Monaco, Monte Carlo and Eze. Transportation was very comfortable, with the highlight of our trip being the tour guide, Heddy. She was full of knowledge, facts on the region, the nm famous people and was so enthusiastic. An awesome host. The tour also covered all the main spots and we had plenty of time at each place. -

Our guide is very friendly, witty and knowledgeable. We were picked up & dropped off at the hotel which was very convenient. I have a few suggestions: we were picked up blast and so we sat in the far back which is fine but I have been on other tours before where on the return trip the guide switched so those in the far back could sit in the front and I would have much preferred this because we had a hard time hearing our guide and it was hot and stuffy in the way back. The winding roads made me feel a little nauseous back there. Her English is good but she speaks very fast and with her accent and we really strained to hear her. I asked her to repeat what she said a couple of times but I was embarrassed to keep asking her. But I mainly gave at four instead of five stars because we were given only 35 minutes in Monte Carlo at the casino! We expected an hour and were very disappointed that we were so rushed. We would have preferred to have less time at the Gardens where we stopped first. The gardens are very beautiful but if she had explained in the beginning that we would only have such a short time at Monte Carlo we would have been able to voice our opinion that we would like an hour there but she never asked. It was still a worthwhile tour. -
