Worthwhile trip with excellent well-informed English speaking guide, Camille.

Very enjoyable tour made more enjoyable by our excellent guide and driver, Victor. Stunning views of Monaco and Nice for La Turbie. Victor brought us to a spot where the views of Nice and Monaco were truly spectacular.

What a great tour, comfortable van , great guide , the history that you you would miss if you tried this trip by yourself and the chance to see the views are the best, I would love to do this again

Review by: Bernard T, October 2017
Great stops on the tour including the overlooks of the Mediterranean along the way. Nadia's English was good and we felt like we had a personal tour since there were only a total of 4 in the van and my wife and I sat in the front seat. Nadia was very courteous and helpful and informative. We are so glad we took the time while we were in Nice to do this trip and view the world reknowned Monaco and Monte Carlo but also the incredibly beautiful midieval town of Eze. We would love to come back and spend more time.

The half day tour to Monaco was excellent.Joe our guide was adorable and knowledgable.EZe was a lovely side trip.Wonderful hill town we were given plenty of time to explore._br/_ I absolutely loved Monaco and plan to revisit. The tour gave us time to explore. The palace was not open to visitors this time of year but a great city to walkabout._br/_ We stay on after the tour and visited the oceanographic museum which was amazing and took the 100 bus back to Nice.Very easy.1 euro 50
Review by: Wayne W, October 2017
The trip was very informative, the village of eze was magnificent we could have spent all day there alone. The visit o Monaco and Monte Carlo was fantastic, beautiful views all the way. Only one compliant, 8 is too many in such a small van, my wife and I were very uncomfortable 0. I think six would be better and charge a little bit more
Review by: Irene R, October 2017
Pierre, the driver, was great! He was very knowledgeable and made all of the important stop. Gave us time to linger and checkout the spots. He pointed out places of interest, pointed out places for a quick bite, and ensured us there was plenty of time for pictures. Overall, made me a true believer of short and full-day trips.
Review by: jungleelf, September 2017
This tour was good, although we had to share the van with a 7 month old who was a bit restless. The perfumery had good prices and we purchased some small items in the castle. Overall it was good
Review by: Barbara H, September 2017
Eze was my favorite and Nadia was a great guide
Review by: Casey S, September 2017
We really really enjoyed this half day tour. Our lovely tour guide, Caroline, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. She stopped off at a couple of scenic outlooks for photo ops before arriving at the village of Eze. This was a delightful little village to explore. Be sure to visit the very first shop just inside the entrance where the old guy inside hand carves beautiful items out of native olive wood. The second stop was the Fragonard Perfumery. I didn't expect to particularly enjoy this portion but was pleasantly surprised. We enjoyed learning about how the oils are extracted and the differences between fragrance sprays. Our final stop was Monaco which is very much worth visiting for a couple of hours. We spent most of our time in the district of Monaco Ville touring the church where Grace Kelly is buried and seeing the Prince's Palace. We would have loved time to visit the museum of oceanography, but this tour didn't allow us the time for all of it. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our visit to this pristine area. We made a quick stop in Monte Carlo to see the casino and take a gander at all of the luxury cars will driving the Grand Prix track. While I don't envision re-visiting this beautiful little country, it is definitely worth the trip to check it off your list! Highly recommend this trip!

Review by: William R, September 2017
Pick-up was 50 minutes late blamed traffic. Eze is amazing and absolutely worth the experience!! This is a must-see if you're in the region. Monaco was nice, but nothing compared to Eze.
Review by: Julia Anne H, September 2017
This was a great trip from start to finish. The courier was punctual and full of knowledge.the rest of the group were like minded travellers and we all enjoyed each stop. Eze was beautiful and i am sure we would not have seen anything like we saw in Monaco had we tried to do it by ourselves.
Review by: ann.labianco, September 2017
Excellent Tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. We did the morning half day tour, which gave us an opportunity to briefly visit the cities. It was a perfect way to get an intro to Eze and Monaco. If you are looking to spend more time in each city, definitely book the full day tour.
Review by: George P, September 2017
Very well planned tour. Could have used more time in Netherlands. Lex was a very good tour guide through for the last five days. The tour manager the first two days was less than satisfactory. Hotels were very good except Paris. Would recommend the tour to others. Very good value.
Review by: Barbara C, September 2017
Wonderful experience, our guide was fun and knowledgeable. It was a great time, we learned a lot and had loads of free time as well as tour guide time. The perfect tour.
Review by: Amith B, September 2017
Very nice trip! Eze is such a beautiful village that we wanted to stay there for as long as we could. In Monaco - we were showed almost all the important/ noted tourist spots. However, the casino is something we have to make time for and visit.
Review by: Mark P, August 2017
Great tour guide, Nadir, who was on time, informative and very nice to take tour with. Medieval Village of Eze was fantastic. This is a must do. Maybe bit too long at the perfume factory/selling outlet and not enough time to see Monaco and Monte Carlo maybe needed to book the full day tour to get an extra couple of hours to walk around these great looking spots._br/_ This is second tour so far out of 5 booked with Viator and so far, so good.......
Review by: Jeffrey V, August 2017
Victor was fantastic
Review by: Lisa D, August 2017
Was an efficient way to see so much in one day. Tour was kept to 8 people as promised, van was clean and well air conditioned a must given the really hot weather. Our guide, Nadir, was terrific - very informative and quite the skilled driver. Kept us on time. The Perfume Factory visit was a pleasant surprise. Eze was spectacular - the gardens a must see and well worth the 6 Euros. May even be worth looking into a tour that allows more time here, it was that cool. Lots of streets to meander through all tucked into a cliff side. Cool cafes and shops. Loved seeing the ports at Monaco and Monte Carlo - could not get over the number of yachts. We decided to extend the tour and do the full day which then included Antibes loved and Cannes not much to do but a good quickie. I have never seen so many Ferraris in every color possible, Lamborginis, Mazzaratis and Rolls in one place.
Review by: Justyna M, August 2017
Very good trip, guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, easy going , was happy to stop anywhere. No time pressure. It was a busy and hot day. Getting to Eze in the morning was a very good idea since there were no people yet. There were only 5 of us. Car was big and comfy.
Review by: DESIREE R, August 2017
It was a great experience. St E Million was amazing, terrific, so was our guide, Bridgette/
Review by: Beverley H, July 2017
This tour was absolutely great. Visited some amazing places and Pierre was an amazing guide. He really made the tour for us. Eze was very beautiful and I highly recommend the trip to the top through the beautiful gardens. The perfume factory, Monaco and Monte Carlo were also well worth a visit.
Review by: Ashlee L, July 2017
Really nice half day tour! Pierre our guide was really great, he was on time, courteous, knowledgeable and funny. He stopped many times for photo ops along the way and had great stories. Loved Eze, the fragrance tour, Monaco and Monte Carlo and while it was a quick tour it was perfect in my opinion.
Review by: Christopher H, July 2017
Fabulous day out. Collected from the hotel too. Totally un-rushed and excellent tour guides,, this is one I would definitely do again without hesitation,,
Review by: John H, June 2017
Prompt pick up in a nice air conditioned minibus and pleasant driver/guide. Small group 8 who were all punctual so no hassle with waiting. The tour itself 1/2 day tour to Eze and Monaco was a good length 5 hours and didn't involve stood much driving. We made 4 stops one viewpoint, the lovely village of Eze , a perfume shop/factory and Monaco itself where we had an hour to see the sights. Finished the day with a trip around the GP course. Good variety and pace. Would highly recommend for those who want a taste of the area.
Review by: kterry_kat, May 2017
Great value. We loved the small group and expert, professional guide. I loved seeing EZE and the perfume factory, my guy loved the Monaco race tour. The half-day tour was perfect for us. However, if it is really important to see the Casino, book the full-day tour because they did not open the casino until 2:00. Our tour was May 5, 2017 and our guide was THE best.
Review by: Lillian Ndanu K, May 2017
The trip was fantastic however our tour guide wasn and #39;t particularly nice. Her character is certainly not suited for your work, always in a hurry and just rushing through and not sympathetic to situations. My sister misplaced her phone and instead of trying to be helpful, she threatened to leave us..
Review by: msyvetteray, May 2017
Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Pierre, was really fun and knowledgeable. We had plenty of time to see everything and great recommendations and information.
Review by: EC, April 2017
Tour was very rushed and we only did it because the ease of getting to the different spots in Monaco was hard if you had your own vehicle. Tour guide was more of a taxi driver, as we were left to explorer the sites ourselves without her and not a lot of history told by the guide.
Review by: Elaine D, April 2017
It was a good tour showing all that was outlined in the tour description.
Review by: Julie S, April 2017
Really good trip with a great tour guide. It was a bit rushed to fit everything in a half day but if you are time poor it is still a good option
Review by: Chris D, April 2017
My wife and I enjoyed this trip - Victor was a great tour guide and we had a few stops with free time. We were able to see some great sites and got some good info along the way. I wouldn and #39;t recommend this on a Sunday though as most places are closed in Monaco. Still good stuff to see though!
Review by: Kevan T, March 2017
I definitely saw things and views that I would not have seen unless on the tour - so for that fact alone, I liked the tour. The pick up was timely, the van clean, I felt safe. I liked all the places we stopped at. I am hard of hearing so I must mention that first but I had a very hard time understanding the driver/tour guide with the French accent and soft spoken. HOWEVER, I would still have taken the trip. I liked the free time at we had at Monaco and Eza to just walk around. I would recommend.
Review by: Allyna M, March 2017
Could not recommend enough!! Pierre was an incredible tour guide who guided us through the heart of the French Riviera and all of its history. It was a very relaxing and interactive experience. Perfect amount of time and with just the amount of sights to see. Can't wait to go back!

Review by: Derek B, February 2017
had a blast , down and dirty of all locations , could have used possibly a little more time in each but overall great tour and Pierre our guide was funny and extremely knowledgeable on area and history.
Review by: Judith C, February 2017
Cannot recommend this trip enough!! Surpassed my expectations. The driver Ralph was so knowledgeable and helpful, ensuring we made the absolute most of our half day. It was a very enjoyable scenic drive to Monaco so great for travellers like me without a car. And Eze was a beautiful hidden gem along the way. The glorious sunshine also helped make this trip!
Review by: Elizabeth F, October 2016
What a super trip ,worth every penny ,guide did a super job explaining things we would never have known had we went on our own ,really recommend !!!!
Review by: Jacky H, October 2016
Jo is an excellent guide and reads a group to ensure we were all happy. The town visit was beautiful and the perfume factory was very interesting. Manaco was everything and more and seeing Prince Rainier casually driving down the road on his way to a state visit was of course a highlight! Driving around on the F1 track was completely off the charts! Great value for money and something I would recommend to everyone.
Review by: Mikhail G, October 2016
Interesting and comprehensive trip. Maybe it should be better to provide more time to visit Monaco. Guide Eva was charming!
Review by: Helen A, October 2016
Thoroughly enjoyed. Was magnificent. Eze was exceptional. Monaco was awesome, land of the rich and famous. Would recommend to anyone travelling in this area.
Review by: Patricia V, September 2016
Great tour ..... lovely places to see ....
Review by: anne.francis9, September 2016
The driver Eve was brilliant and made the tour, even though there were hold ups entering Monaco due to the start of the Yacht Exhibition. Though we would rather have not gone to Fragonard and spent more time in Monaco the whole reason for the trip.
Review by: Graham K, September 2016
Brilliant! Do it! Small group is the way to go. Tour guide Pierre was fantastic!! Eze is an absolutely beautiful hillside/top medieval town and Monaco is well worth the visit.
Review by: Robyn P, August 2016
Tour guide was very good, she new her stuff
Review by: Donald S, August 2016
It was a nice half day trip and the highlight for me was the coastal scenery and Eze, which is very charming village. I suggest you pay the 2 euro to visit the cacti and succulent garden. It is beautiful, plants are labelled and you also learn a bit of history from placards. I was not impressed with Monaco and next time would not go out of my way to go there, at least not for the short time we had there.
