This was a good tour, but not as good as the Countryside tour. The people that toured with a different company had more places pointed out to them.

The view is breathtaking.

Overall good tour, our guide/driver is very knowledgeable and I have learned so much from her! The only compliant is that it was not fully guided, basically they give you a map and tell you where is where then you explore the city on your own, but I still recommend this tour as long as you get a good guide like I did.

Review by: ALEXANDER R	January 2012
The whole day trip was done with great expertise. The itenery left us with a good deal of time on our hands to explore, with a not overpowering, but extremingly interesting commentery by an amazing tour guide. Highly reccomended.

Review by: MARLIYANA M	January 2012
Went during the winter so we ended up being the only people with the guide so it became like a personal tour. Enjoyed ourselves as tour was very comprehensive and guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. Willing to answer any of our questions and waited for us patiently while we finished the tour. Would definitely go again!

Excellent tour! Eze is stunning and well worth visiting. Plenty of time allowed to see the sights. Michael our guide was very knowledgeable, very professional and made sure everyone got what they needed out of the trip.

We enjoyed this Trip totally. We would recommend it to everyone.Especially if Sylvie leads it. She was great value.

Review by: Melissa N	November 2011
Highly recommend doing this day trip. Wonderful scenery, interesting commentary from Joe our tour driver and a great way to see the Riviera.

Review by: William P	October 2011
Sorry but skip this one unless you can't find your way to Eze or Monaco on your own. Our driver/guide was a wonderful young lady who answered call of our questions but basically she was a driver who got us to our destinations and cut us loose and we did a self guided tour. You can get to your destinations by bus for much less money and enjoy the same experience. The perfume factory tour was superficial and basically a means to get you to buy their product.

Review by: John Q	October 2011
The tour itself was excellent. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. We expected that with 8 people, there would only be one language spoken. In this case, both Russian and Enlgish were spoken, and it seemed that the Russian language dominated the day, which took a little away from our enjoyment of the experience.

Review by: David M	October 2011
given that the group is so small, you get a nice personal touch to this trip.

Review by: Miriam and David	September 2011
This trip really made our holiday. Laura our guide was magnificent. She was courteous, polite, informative and a truely lovely person. Everything was organised perfectly and will be a day we will remember for a long time to come. We would definately recommend this tour if you are in the Nice area and want to see Monaco and the surrounding area. Miriam and David

Review by: Alison P	September 2011
Had an awesome time, Sue our guide was a highlight!

Review by: Emma	September 2011
The guide was very nice and came to pick us up to our hotel despite the fact that it was not in Nice downtown. She was very nice and friendly, very good english though she was Latvian ( I think). Unfortunately the group was mixed: 4 english speaking and 4 Russian speaking ( with no English capabilities) Felt like the iron cortine was back splitting the car. 80% of the time the guide was speaking only to the Russian speaking people. We had to ask several times for her to translate to English too. It felt quite bad to pay all this amount of money and ask for translation every time. Also, she was very tolerant to the Russian guests while they were constantly late and made everyone waiting in scorching sun. Furthermore, the comments and descriptions she gave were quite average, nothing you can not find in a quick google search. I had to ask her to show me more "special" things like the Nietzche path in Ezre. She was not really volunteering things too much.

This trip is excellent. I wouldn't be wasting my time hiring a car, way too complicated with driving and parking. The tour guides spoke good English,were courteous and helpful.Overall a good day out at a good price.

Review by: melaniakelsen	August 2011
Our Monaco and Eze Day trip was awesome. Our tour guide picked us up exactly on time and was so nice and informative. He spoke perfect English and was extremely helpful. Always offered to take pictures of us. The tour itself was amazing. Love that we didn't waste time taking the train and waiting in lines. The tour took us to the locations fast and loved that we saw everything. Highly recommend it!!!

Review by: pierre	August 2011
We didn't know what to expect as we booked only 2 days before. Manuel our driver was on time at our hotel and we were the lucky ones as only the 2 of us on this tour, we felt likeit was our own private tour for the day. Manuel was so p,peasant to have as our driver and guide and full of information but also gave us time by ourselves to enjoy Eze and Monacco. We would definitely recommend Manuel and this tour company and destination to friends.

Eze and Monaco is beautiful.

Review by: Janice F	August 2011
My niece and I experienced a wonderful day touring Monaco and Eze. Our tour guide Sylvia was outstanding and was filled to the brim with information litterally every mile we drove. We enjoyed our stops along the way which gave us a little time to spend on our own as well as the ones we were guided by Sylvia. We felt like everything was scheduled perfectly! I would definiately recommend this day trip.

Review by: Dawn B	August 2011
We were picked up at our hotel dead on time by our tourguide for the day (Sandrine) who was an excellent hostess for our day. There were only 6 of us on the tour which was in a very comfortable air conditioned mini bus. Sandrine provided interesting commentary all through the day. It is a beautiful drive along the middle and lower corniche and stopping at some fabulous view points and the beautiful village of Eze where you have free time followed by a quick but neverthless enjoyable trip to the perfume factory. Then on to Monaco. Sandrine escorted us and advised on what we could see and do at every stop and gave clear and precise details on departure times and meeting place for the next part of the trip. We had free time for lunch at the palace and saw changing of the guard. Then on to Casino Square in Monte Carlo (has to be seen how the other half live) more free time to explore here. Check out the parking lot at the hotel de paris by the casino and dream on. Lastly one lap of the grand prix circuit, driven more carefully of course, before the lovely drive back to hotel still with Sandrine giving us some lovely pointers as to which celebs live in the fantastic villa's. A most enjoyable trip for my daughers 20th birthday worth every penny and many personal thanks to Sandrine with whom we felt very safe and very well informed about the history along the way.

I booked this trip from Melbourne expecting it to have ar least 8 other people on it. I was pleasantly surprised when we were picked up at our hotel to find that it was only myself, my husband and our two friends on the tour. It felt like a private tour. Marie, our guide was lovely and full of grat information. The scenery and drive through Eze and onto Monaco was stunning. A wonderful way to see one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.

Review by: Noraini	July 2011
The tour guide was very nice take us around and covered most of the places. Great Tour guide.

Review by: Danielle S	July 2011
When we arrived in Nice I called the local tour company to confirm our tour and they told me they had no record of it, even though i had my voucher and booking number. The person I spoke with told me that Viator could have cancelled it and that "too bad, that's life!" SWhe said she would call me back if I faxed her my voucher. I did so, and she never called me back. After getting our hotel to call and speak in French to the tour company they told us we could go. We were told our pick up time was 8:45 am, and were waiting in the lobby at 8:30 am. By 9 am there was still no van to pick us up, so again I had the hotel call and see what the problem was. We were told that the driver was late because of other passengers being late, however when he finally arrived there was NO ONE in the van! we were the first pick up. Not only was our guide Guy, late, but he was also rude and unfriendly throughout the day. I asked other passengers how they felt about the guide and I got the same response from the other 4 people. They all agreed he was rude and unfriendly. He spend most of the drive speaking in Spanish with 2 other travellers. He rushed us from place to place and really left a bad taste in our mouths. After dropping us in Monaco, he gave us no information as to what to see or do there and wasn't very approachable to ask questions. The sights of Eze and Monaco were indeed beautiful and I would recommend going there however this tour was not done very well.

Review by: Kangan K	July 2011
this tour is awesome. the town of eze is beautiful though u have to speed up a little to see everything u want. monaco was fun too, just remember to bring ure passport and a little cash with u if u want to enter the famous casino

Review by: Christine S	July 2011
Eze was a very nice village, in Monaco missed changing of guards which was disappointing_br/_ Left in Monaco for far too long with just a map of area.

Review by: CHARLENE G	June 2011
Lovely views, but we did not have nearly enough time in Eze, and it was not really a "tour." The guide dropped us off and picked us up at each spot.

Review by: Dan H	June 2011
Joe, our guide, was great. More time in Eze (taken from time in Monaco) would be great, but this was a fantastic day trip.

Review by: Ron G	June 2011
Generally good, but felt that we were left to our own devices for too long in Monaco (3 hours). Time could have been better utilised.

Review by: Angela M	May 2011
Best way to take a tour is by the smaller van as opposed to a larger group. _br/_ Had just the right amount of time in each location.

Review by: Sok Fun C	May 2011
It was a pleasant trip with a small group of 7. Our guide, Andres, spoke fluent English and German and controlled time well for all our stops. Everything went on like clockwork , not too rush and we managed to see all the sights as planned. Would recommend this tour for a day trip to Monaco!

Review by: Elaine M	May 2011
Great day trip, highly recommend it.

Review by: Anonymous	May 2011
Terrific in all respects

Review by: Carl N R	May 2011
Our guide was very informative and entertaining. He gave us so much information, especially about Monte Carlo. I fell in love with the village of Eze. We've had wonderful experiences with Viator tours and recommend them highly.

Review by: Ee Him O	May 2011
Highly recommended for the scenic views especially if you a F1 fans.

Review by: Shirley B	May 2011
The tour was wonderful .. my daughter and I loved day.. Marie was our guide and provided many tips to ease the viewing .. I would recommend if possible more time at EZE and perhaps polling the group who would like to gamble .. rather than assuming that this is something that everyone would like to do.. rating is five stars

Review by: Andrea P, United States of America	June 2010
Our tour of Eze, Monaco, and Monte Carlo was perfect. Our tour guide was very nice and very knowledgeable and a very impressive driver! I liked that we had free time on our own at each stop. Only one tiny complaint Eze Village was so charming that we wished we had a bit more time there but if we had stayed longer, I would have simply bought more items and spent more money so perhaps the short amount of time was for the best.

Review by: Hye Riung K, Philippines	June 2010
