The tour guide driver Yanis was perfect for our tour. He picked us up on time and drove us safely to each of our destinations. He was very knowledgeable and shared important information with us about each and every stop. The purchasing of our tour tickets was done online and was very easy. We highly recommend this tour including the visit to Fragonard.

It was very lovely. We saw almost the entire Azur Coast and we liked Eze sur Mer and the Fragonard parfumerie, Monaco, Monte Carlo. The tour needed with St Paul sur Mer, a true surprize inside the old walls. The guide explained everything with patience.

Went on this French Riviera tour with my partner and honestly, it was a loooong day but we saw sooo much. Our guide (can’t remember his name, sorry!) was hilarious and knew all these random facts about the spots. Loved the stop in Eze, the perfume place was a weird highlight haha. We were a bit rushed in Monaco, tho, wish we had 10 more mins for gelato. Weather was HOT but the van AC worked ok. Bring a hat, trust me.

Set off on a half-day guided tour from Nice to discover the best of the French Riviera, covering Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Antibes, and Cannes in one effortless trip.

Travel in comfort with round-trip AC coach transfers, hotel pickup and drop-off, and a small-group setting that ensures a relaxed, personalized experience.

Enjoy the insights of an expert English-speaking guide while exploring each town at your own pace: from Antibes’ Provençal markets to Cannes’ glamorous promenade.

Stroll through Saint-Paul-de-Vence’s art-filled lanes, Antibes’ historic old town, and Cannes’ red-carpet landmarks, with free time for photos, shopping, and local bites.

Upgrade to a full-day adventure to include Cap Ferrat, Èze, and Monaco, adding seaside views, medieval streets, royal landmarks, and the thrill of the Monaco F1 circuit.

Weather was perfect, and the guide (Elizabeth?) was super energetic. She remembered everyone’s names, which is a nice touch. Monaco felt a bit too fancy for me, lol, but my boyfriend loved it. The perfume stop was a surprise hit. Just wish the lunch break was a bit longer – barely had time for coffee and a sandwich. Still, would recommend!
