We spent a 6 hour voyage on the Superhawk 43’. It was a fantastic day. We left out of Nice and headed to Monaco for lunch and a walk around. Then we went to a beautiful swimming spot. Our Captain was Bruna and she was outstanding. Very well informed and capable of managing the boat. We will do it again.!
Lucie is incredible! She made our tour 10 stars! My mother has trouble with stairs and she was so accommodating. She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. She kept the kids engaged as she explained the history and architecture of Nice, Eze, Monte Carlo, and Monaco. I can't recommend Lucie enough. She made the day unforgettable 😊
Xavier was our guide who was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and looked after us to make sure that we were having a great time. He took us to all the key places and gave us one heck of an education on each and every area that we visited. I highly recommend. Anyone looking for a wonderful trip and excursion to take the time to do this with your loved one or friends!….Phil and Cheryl ATLANTA Georgia
Private tour of the main highlights in Eze and Monaco with a trip along coast. Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge, both about the history of the area as well as recent sights. The van was comfortable and spacious. Due to timing and traffic, our stops in each place were only about 30 minutes. If you are looking for a longer visits in the cities, you may want to look into options longer than four hours.
Fantastic trip, Alex our guide was great. He got in contact via text the day before hand to confirm arrangements. We went from Nice (Port Lympia) to Monaco, about 30 min drive. We took the higher road there and the coast route back, so we could see more varied scenery. Transport was a really comfortable people carrier with AC. Alex was knowledgeable and tailored some of the trip to suit us (skipped Eze perfume factory in favour of more time in Monaco) and he even appeared with umbrellas when an unexpected summer storm passed over. We would highly recommend this private tour. The trip for 4 was only slightly more expensive than a group trip with strangers, plus the customer service and door to door transport for a winner for us. Hope to return one day for another trip. Thankyou
Very nice driver. Tailored tour to our needs. Good driver on narrow roads. Enjoyed the Monte Carlo visit immensely. Knowledgeable about country.
Fantastic tour. Great views and interesting sites. We really enjoyed the town and especially the garden walk. The perfume factory is a must see.
Fun day exploring Monte Carlo and surrounding areas. Really hot so we opted for more driving than walking, our guide was lovely and informative!
Fabulous tour, highly recommend! Prior to the tour the company was very communicative, allowing us to personalize the tour to center around Formula 1 as we are big fans. Reiner, our tour guide, picked us up on time and provided us with the most spectacular tour of Monaco, stopping along the way to give us time to take pictures while also giving some history of each location. He never made us feel rushed and we even extended an hour because we were enjoying so much!
Our tour guide, Raner, did a fabulous job!! He was personable and very knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable and laugh.
Zara was an excellent guide. She asked for our input and allowed us to do exactly what we wanted. She provided us with many photo ops.,
It was great .. the guide took great care of us ! Very informative and attentive. It was a great day
Monaco was a wonderful place to vist. Lucie was easy to understand and planned a great trip. Very knowlegible with good information. Nice new van.
The tour guide was very nice. However thr tour itself was very rushed. What attracted us to choosing this tour was all the stops expected in Monaco where we actually only stopped in one (monte Carlo). I thought it would be at least a 4 hour tour but ended around 3 hours. The positive is it’s convenient with pick up from hotel and AC car.
This was a very quick way to see Eze and Monaco. Only suitable if you are fit and can move quickly to see both sites. 4 hours is not really long enough but worked well for my daughter and I as we were able to navigate the hills and loads of tourists. Our guide Victor was very nice and got us where we needed to go in a very timely manner however the AC was not working in the back and it was a very warm day. By the way, this is not a “tour”- it’s more like hiring a driver who knows his way around dropping off and picking us up which obviously cuts down on time if you had to do the drive yourself. So in our case- this was perfect.
Did this tour May 2025. First thing our guide said when she picked us up was that there is no way we can accomplish this tour in just 4 hours. We could cut part of it out or we could stay at the end in Monaco and take the train back to Nice on our own. Then why offer a 4-hour tour? First guide ever to not offer us water bottles. Had to spend time in Eze purchasing for ourselves. We managed to cover a lot in a short time apparently but felt very rushed the whole time. Eze was lovely!! Highlybrexommend a visit there. Would have enjoyed a leisurely tour with time to explore the cute shops. Monaco was different from what I imagined, very crowded, but interesting to see and drive along the Formula 1 route and see the Monte Carlo Casino. Our guide was well-informed and pleasant, but in Monaco and at Monte Carlo Casino, she dropped us off and told us where she would meet us in X mins rather than parking and walking with us to guide us through. Not what I expect from a small group tour (four of us, two couples). I've had better tours.
We took a private half day tour from Monaco with Xavier. He showed us the best of the French Riviera! He had a great knowledge of the history of the area and also matters of more current importance, like where Bono from U2 lives. It was a beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Many thanks to Liven up and Xavier.
Design your own itinerary. Great half day with an excellent guide Xavier!! Saw all the important sights.
Excellent experience with a truly great driver who was both knowledgeable, courteous and compassionate!
We had an absolutely brilliant full day private tour with Mac who was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Nothing was too much effort, and we put our ideas together to create a bespoke tour of Monaco, Eze and the coast. Thank you!
We booked the private tour for 8 of us. Our driver, Nikolai, was excellent! He took us to an overlook and we saw a triple rainbow! We bought perfume at the factory but did not do the tour. We had free time in Eze. He took us around the race course in Monaco and we had free time in old town. We added an extra hour. Highly recommend this tour!
Bruno made this day grand! He asked us a couple of questions, made recommendations and we took them! He was spot on! A gentleman and a scholar and a helpful photographer for good measure! His picture opportunities we had him stop at were as he described. At the end he recommended Cassis and it was all he described!
Beautiful drive from Nice to Monaco with a stop for scenic photos. Guide deftly drove through hilly roads with lovely Mediterranean views while providing interesting information and historic facts. The private group tour is is the to go! There were three couples in our group.
Our tour guide, Michael, made this tour the highlight of our French Riviera experience. He was a wealth of knowledge as a native of the area and made sure that our interest in the history of Nice, Eze and Monaco was fully explained. Our half-day tour was easy as we jumped on and off his spacious van, walking the steep hills with him talking the entire time.
This tour was very disappointing. The description specifically said PRIVATE GUIDE. We had a driver but no guide. The cost of the tour was very expensive and not worth near the cost to just have someone drop us off and pick us up. Also we were promised the Fragonard perfume tour and the driver said there was not time to do both Eze and Fragonard we had to choose one. That was not what was represented on the site. We could have just hired a driver for half the cost or less to take us to the sites. We wanted to know about what we were seeing.
8 of us took a private tour from Villefranche sur Mer cruise port to Eze and Monte Carlo. Xavier took us all around and was very knowledgeable about the history of the areas. His driving was amazing given the tight areas that he had to navigate. He brought us back to Nice and dropped us in the old town where he recommended some good places to eat and even provided directions to get us back to port. Thank you Xavier for a fun day!
Would 100% recommend this tour. Our guide Michael was brilliant, fun and very knowledgeable. We saw some amazing sights and stunning views.
Xavier was the most gracious host. His knowledge of the local area was superb. We had a great day! He even got us to Eze before the masses of other tourists. The experience was a great way to comfortably see the area.
We had the most amazing guide, Marco. Not only was he knowledgeable but also thoughtful and listened to our questions and custom tailored our tour based on discussions. We all felt that we had made a new friend. We had a four person private tour and we would highly recommend this personalized tour. Viator does a fabulous job choosing their guides and venues. We have used Viator many times over the years and rarely disappointed. We also use them for private airport transportation when we travel. Wonderful customer service!!
Amazing trip - packed so much in to the short period of time, seeing so much!! Michael was a brilliant tour guide, he kept us laughing and interested all day with his enthusiasm and knowledge. Loved this experience and would recommend to anyone. (good level of fitness needed as a lot of walking, some uphill!). Michael offered to take photos at the various view points and listened to our request to stop at view points on the way. Thanks for a great day.
We had an incredible experience on this tour! Due to the time of year (April), it turned out to be a private tour with our guide, Michael, who was fantastic—friendly, fun, and extremely knowledgeable. This was our first visit to the area, and Michael provided excellent tips while adapting the tour to suit our family’s style (we were traveling with two teenage boys, who surprisingly enjoyed learning about how perfume and cologne are made!). Doing this tour on our first day in Monaco was a great decision, as it helped us get our bearings for the rest of the trip. Eze is an absolute must-see, and this tour is the perfect way to experience it!
Mac our guide was excellent! He was so knowledgeable and had a great personality! He gave us time to explore at each stop and was a great photographer! He took us to the best points for pictures. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip!
Sébastien was an outstanding tour guide who truly enhanced our experience in the French Riviera. His extensive knowledge and deep understanding of the region’s history and culture were evident, making our journey from Nice to Monaco and Eze unforgettable. Sébastien's ability to communicate in an engaging and accessible way made the tour both informative and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore the Riviera with a true expert.
What a magnificent tour. We were met in our hotel lobby by our very friendly tour guide Mac. He was extremely professional, helpful and knowledgeable. Eze and Monaco are both must sees. I preferred the charm of Eze to the flash of Monaco but am glad I had the opportunity to experience both. The coast line is amazing and Mac is a very safe driver. We couldn’t have enjoyed our day more.
Photo in the description give the impression it was a boat tour. We were expecting a tour by boat. If it was a tour by van, you might advertise with a photo of the road or van. The tour was nice but it is not what we planned. I’m greatly disappointed in Vistor’s advertising.
Wonderful afternoon spent with Xavier! He tailored our tour to what we were interested in. Loved the parfume factory!! Monaco was exactly what we expected. Views were fantastic. Xavier was full of fun facts and knowledge.
Fabulous afternoon spent with Xavier! He listened to what interested us and tailored our tour accordingly! LOVED the parfume factory tour. Monaco was exactly what we expected- lavish and over the top. Xavier was full of fun facts and history. Really enjoyed our time with him.
Sabine was our driver and guide She was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable and obviously loved her job. She was also flexible in adding more time.
We booked this tour for the day we arrived in Nice, France. When we woke up the day we were supposed to leave for our trip, we had a text from American Airlines stating they'd changed our arrival time by an entire DAY. We immediately emailed this company telling them what was happening and that we wanted to reschedule (not cancel) our tour with them because due to our flight change, we wouldn't be able to make the scheduled tour. The company did not respond to us. We then reached out for a second time, explaining our flight change and new arrival time and that we'd need to reschedule our trip and they told us that it was now inside the 24 hour cancellation window and there was nothing they could or would do to help us out. They took our money, didn't respond in a timely manner and were in no way interested in doing the right thing to help us during an event that was completely outside our control. Viator was of no help either. Beware that if anything outside your control changes, this company will not work with you and will do the bare minimum to communicate with you. Find another tour company to work with...there are plenty.
The PERFECT way to see Monte Carlo, Monaco, and Eze! Request Alex as your tour guide. He is knowledgeable, courteous, and an excellent guide.
Being with Xavier. He was wonderful in navigating our time with difficulties of traffic congestion. We were able to see things before the rain and even celebrated what we didn't see because of the rain.
Our girl group thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our driver, Mac, was terrific. He was knowledgeable, flexible and provided us with a world-class experience. The Fragonard perfume factory stop was interesting; the medieval Eze village had great views, history and shopping opportunities. We asked a lot of questions and Mac was able to field all of them. Monaco was crowded but Mac knew how to navigate the myriad tunnels to get us to the palace. He provided local history and news and gave us a great all around great tour. He even came back to our pickup location two days later when one girl left her jacket on the van. (This was above and beyond service.) The company, Liven Up tours, was top notch. They provided safe, clean vans and a terrific driver/guide. They are highly recommended!
Rayna (sorry if misspelt) was our lovely guide/driver. He was extremely accommodating with our itinerary and we managed to see more than expected. The sights are beautiful and we had a good amount of time enjoy each location. The ride was very comfortable/clean and safe. Thank you!
Zara our guide was amazing, she personalised our excursion catering for our specific needs and requirements. Nothing was too much trouble and she over and above our expectations. Zara used her expertise and vast knowledge to ensure we got the most out of the trip.
Our Guide cum Chauffeur was amazing, very polite Knowlegable and made us see and learn about all the places we visited.
Our guide did an excellent job from start to finish. Arriving early to our hotel for pickup. Valuble information along the way even diverting a little to try and find Starbucks in Monaco. Would definitely recommend
We loved visiting Exe and and being able to have a dramatic view of Monaco from above. Thanks to our wonderful guide Kerry, we even went higher with great views of the French Riviera
Our tour guide Kerry was excellent. He made our trip to Monaco guitar memorable. Visiting Eze was an unexpected plus
Fred was our tour guide for this private 4-hour tour, and it was money well-spent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and was a great guide. Monaco was a must-see for us, but we're so glad we also decided to see Eze, a beautiful medieval village. Fred was able to relate to us historical facts, as well as other interesting things about the area, such as who lives there, celebrities who vacation there, etc. We highly recommend this company and Fred!
