Our guide Sabine was AMAZING. She is bubbly (and still professional) and a wealth of information. She asked us what we would like to see of the choices and told us what to expect at each. I would 100% use Sabine again.

We had a wonderful tour of the French Riviera with our guide Rubin. Our tour was amazing and the views, stunning. At the start of our tour, Rubin asked us how we would like to spend our time at each of the planned stops. Our group opted out of visiting Cannes, which gave us more time at the other stops. Rubin highlighted each area we were visiting and gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop on our own. St. Paul of Vence was an unexpected surprise. We enjoyed exploring the town, shopping and a lovely glass of Bordeaux to end that part of our tour. We had plenty of time in Monaco to explore the town, shop, have lunch and enjoy its beauty. A visit to Monaco was a dream my wife had since she was a teen and our visit fulfilled her dream. We enjoyed exploring the market in Antibes, walking the perimeter of the wall overlooking the Mediterranean. The views were breathtaking. It was a perfect day in one of the most beautiful regions of the Mediterranean. Thank you Ruben.
We booked a day trip to Cannes, Antibes, and St Paul de Vence Eze Monaco and Monte Carlo Full-day from Nice Small-Group Tour. Our driver Francis was a really nice driver and tour guide he picked us from our hotel on the exact time as was planned for day trip. He was so welcoming and helpful giving very detailed information about every bit of our day trip he even he offered an umbrella to us because it was a rainy day. He tried to make the trip so comfortable for us such as dropping in different place sending the location to make it easy on the way back after each visit of the day. I so happy to book with Viator especially with Francis. I recommend the Viator and Francis to book any day trip in Nice. Many thanks to francis to make unforgettable day trip for us in Nice.
We have one of the very best tour guides ever. Francis was very friendly, helpfull, help us out all the time, explaining details of our trip, historical facts, places and general aspects of each city. Greatest tour guide ever, congratulations Francis, you are the best!
We had a wonderful day with Catherine showing us different towns along the French Riviera. We saw so much more than we could have done on our own. We had plenty of time at each stop.l
Catherine was an amazing guide! She was so knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely recommend this tour
Ben gave a fantastic tour along the French Rivera and made it both fun and educational!
Quite a busy and insightful at I had. Learnt a lot, it’s an easy way to experience the French Riviera in one day.
Thankyou to Francis, we had a wonderful day and fantastic tour. He was knowledgeable and thorough, he was the perfect guide for our small group 'Best of French Riviera' tour. I received a pick-up time the evening prior, and on the morning of the tour, Francis contacted via Whatsapp to ensure a precise time of arrival. Our family of 3, another couple and a solo traveller made up the group, 6 in total. Francis was engaging, and shared his time at the locations and points of interest along the way, explaining the history and significance in both English and Spanish. He was also very handy with the camera, so thankyou for that also. We had a wonderful time, and honestly feel that we got the absolute best out of this activity. The Mercedes Vito was comfortable and roomy, which made for a pleasurable drive. All the locations were great, and we have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this tour, and if you're lucky enough to have Francis as a guide, you will not be disappointed. Merci Francis, regards Joel, Kylie and Paige 🇦🇺
Great trip and great guide! We planned to visit many of the French Riviera stops on our own; this allowed us to see just about all of them, cross some of them off our list after we made a great visit already, decide on a couple places to return, and discover some we wouldn't have gone to otherwise. Francis was a wonderful guide: always helpful, informative, great driver, lots of fun. Well worth it.

This was a great way to get a sense of several different towns along the coast. Our guide, Laurent was exceptional both in keeping our group on track timing wise to sharing lots of information interesting information with true warmth and humor. Thank you Laurent! I was very impressed and had a great time. I highly recommend it!
Enjoyed going to all places - would have been nice to get more specific information about each place..
Great pick up and drop off by Ben. It was a great day site seeing but Ben unfortunately could not walk too far with us as he had a knee injury. It was a small group of 6 people, the only down side was the weather it was really bad rain and didn't spoil the day but we couldn't do a lot of walking due to the rain. There was a trip to a perfume factory which was interesting but not something we would have chose to do.
Excellent tour! Laurence was fantastic. I learned and saw so much in one day. There’s a lot of walking. Wear comfortable shoes and a hat. This is by far one of the best tours I’ve done in Europe. There are a few opportunities to eat, and the food and shopping in Antibes was great. Bring your charger with you. Your phone may lose battery life quickly due to data. This tour is definitely at 5/5 and I am really picky. :-)
It is a really full day, but you see all of the highlights of the French Riviera in about 10 hours. Our tour guide, Salvatore was exceptional and extremely knowledgeable.
Our guide Lawerence was great. He was fun, friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. This was a great way to see a lot of memorable places in one day!
My husband and I had a fantastic day seeing multiple cities on the French Riviera with our wonderful guide, Stephane! Communication was great beforehand to coordinate pick up at our hotel, which was prompt and extremely convenient. My husband and I sat up front with Stephane, which gave us a great view while driving. There were six other people on the tour with us, so a nice little group. The day is long and we saw many, many wonderful sights. I'd recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothing for walking and getting into and out of the car multiple times. We would NEVER have been able to pack so much into one day without a tour like this one, both with driving and a helpful and knowledgeable guide. Stephane offered to reserve lunch for us while in St. Paul de Vence and it was excellent, both ambience and food (name of the restaurant is Le Moulin de Saint-Paul). I would highly recommend this tour and I would absolutely do it again! There is so much to see and this tour provides a great overview.
We had a wonderful experience on our tour of the French Riviera! The tour was very well planned and organized, allowing us to discover the most beautiful and interesting places in the region. Our tour guide was excellent—very knowledgeable, kind, and professional. He made the experience enjoyable and memorable, ensuring we made the most of our time. We truly enjoyed every moment of the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the French Riviera!
This was one of the best tours we took on our 10-day tour of the Mediterranean. Catherine was Great (pun intended), I learned so much, and saw so much. Well worth the money and time for experiences I will never forget.
We had a great time on our full-day tour with our guide, Laurent. The pickup and drop-off were so easy, and we saw everything we were hoping to see on the tour! Laurent was a great guide and provided us with lots of information about the area, great local recommendations at each stop, and always made meeting points and timing very clear. We would definitely recommend!
Ben was an excellent guide, and we had a wonderful experience on our trip! He was professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. His recommendations were great, and he was always open to questions and happy to share his knowledge. He also frequently checked in throughout the trip to make sure everyone was comfortable and had everything they needed. We felt we had ample time to explore each city at our own pace, although we recognize that this can be subjective. With only nine people in the group, including Ben, the experience felt very intimate and personal, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Overall, Ben did a fantastic job balancing historical insight, practical guidance, and genuine care for the group. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional guide!
We spent a day with Vassili seeing the highlights of the French Riviera and couldn't have been happier. He drove us to six different sites along the Riviera, and the whole day ran very smoothly. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and a great driver as the roads there can be tricky. We saw far more than we would have on our own and never felt rushed. We spent just enough time in each place. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Nice!
Our guide, Sabine was amazing, really nice and kind and everything was explained very well and she also gave us lot of advices to live our experience in the best way possible. Super recommend!
This trip was excellent and was a great way to experience multiple places. It was well paced and we got an opportunity to spend time leisurely as well. Our tour specialist Francis was good, kind and gave a lot of information about the places we visited including some interesting trivia. Be ready to spend though coz you will at Fragonard and the other places - but well worth it! would recommend 👌
Great tour! Our guide Sabine was amazing. Very punctual, efficient and super knowledgeable. The tour was the whole day but every stop was efficient and you really do get a taste of the French Riviera. Would definitely recommend.
We had an amazing time on our tour with our guide Sabine. The group size of 8 was perfect! Sabine was super knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged. The pacing was great, and we loved seeing all the sights. She took us to spots we never would have found on our own. I would definitely recommend this tour.
The tour did what it had promised. The tourguide, Catherine, was knowledgeable and helpful. I especially enjoyed the medieval villages of St. Paul de Vence, Eze and Monaco. One thing I missed was a sound system in the van; as an older traveler with some hearing loss, the absence of such a system that exists on other tours prevented me from hearing all the background info that Catherine provided between stops.
Great day full of interesting sites. Ben was a great guide and we enjoyed good stops on the way. Excellent way to familiarize yourself with the area.
We did end up going on a rainy day but it did not stop our tour guide from getting us to and from our different stops safely. She was very informative and made sure there were no dry spots in the amount of learning. She definitely has some resilience because it took us forever to get out of the Marina. All in all if you only have time for one excursion this is mandatory. Mainly I was happy to experience Monaco in all its glory.
A great way to experience so much of the French Riviera in one day. Driver and guide Sabine was friendly, knowledgeable and provided helpful tips along the way. Good value for money.
Sabine was a great guide, very knowledgeable and gave helpful tips along the way. Timings at each stop well communicated, with pick up locations pinpointed. A great day and an easy way to explore more of the French Riveria than you could organise on your own. Groups numbers limited so you all got personal attention if and when required.
Great if you want to check a lot of boxes and taste-test a few cities along the Côte d’Azur. It was neat to see Monaco and drive the Grand Prix circuit and compare that with the elegant simplicity and old-world charm of other towns visited on the tour. The itinerary is definitely subject to change with some places being seen out of the presented order. Visited Galimard perfumerie even though Fragonard was on the list without explanation. It is a long day and yes you can bring your own snacks and water, but it would also help if the driver did a better job of talking through the day and orienting people to bathroom breaks and when a place will be reached to have lunch ahead of time. Also nice to have quiet at times in the van without always putting music on.
Excellent tour! You are able to see a lot in one day! Perfect visit!
We hit the highlights all in one day! It was fast but wonderful. Walking where famous and the where the wealthiest come.
The Best of the Riviera Small Group Guided Tour was a day to remember. We were able to experience so many beautiful places in one day without feeling rushed. I loved it! Francis made the trip even more enjoyable with his extensive knowledge of the sites and his customer friendly delivery of it all. He really cared that we had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend Francis and this experience!
This was such a fun way to cover a lot of ground and see all the top sights! Laurent, thank you for being a fabulous guide! This tour will take all day so ensure you pack any necessities with you. Be prepared to walk a lot and climb for some killer view points. There was a good amount of time to go off and explore at your own leisure in various areas. Laurent was happy to help book lunch or point you in the right direction depending on your desires. I especially enjoyed Saint Paul De Vence and Eze. We happened to be in Monaco during the filming of a movie and had a celebrity sighting! Stopped by Monte Carlo and hit the slots… All around an exciting day and would absolutely recommend.
We really enjoyed our trip and Francis was an amazing person helping guide and drive us around. I recommend highly.
We had a fantastic tour with Daniel who managed it extremely well. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to sample the best in a short time. Daniel was very informative, calm and class act! Thank you.
Daniel was very good with lots of information as we traveled. The right amount of time at each stop. Small group was nice.
This trip was amazing! We were able to visit so many places in just one day, and our tour guide, Francis, made the whole experience even better. He was funny, knowledgeable, and very detailed in his explanations, which made the tour both enjoyable and informative. What impressed me most was that Francis went the extra mile for us. Even though driving through the Monaco F1 tunnel wasn’t included in the tour package, he was so helpful in making it happen! His enthusiasm and willingness to make the experience extra special really stood out. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to explore the French Riviera in just one day. If you’re lucky enough to have Francis as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic experience!
This is a full day -- be prepared with walking shoes and a bottle of water! Our guide, Francis, was friendly and had plenty of info to share about the sights and history. Antibes: quaint, loved the history, wish we could have had a little more time at the market. Cannes: busy with traffic in the area around the film festival building (not sure if it is always like that or if it was due to construction going on); no no red carpet due to the construction but the tour cannot control that. St. Paul de Vence: absolutely charming!... lots of restaurants and shops... no way you have enough time to eat lunch, browse the shops, and walk the ramparts in the time allotted-- you will have to sacrifice something... we ate a delicious lunch at The Artiste in a unique setting.... were glad that we knew that we would be returning to the town on another day. Monaco: not much to see from the outside of the palace, the cathedral was beautiful, not many shops in the palace/cathedral area so don't expect that, was pleasantly surprised that we could easily enter the lobby of the casino (you have to pay to enter the gambling area). A very full day, lots of walking (we walked about 4 miles and it is not all level), very clean 8-person van with A/C. TIPS: Water bottles! The sellers at the small town open-air markets (Antibes) prefer Euros but many will accept a credit card (they call it a "bank card") if your purchase is more than $5.00 Euros. There generally are no tables or benches at the markets -- you eat while you walk/stand. Everything at the market is clean and interesting and the vendors are friendly, especially if you greet/acknowledge them ("Bonjour!") when you approach them.
This is the perfect little taste of everything in the region. If you are only in Nice for a short time and want to see multiple places, this is your tour. It is a long day, so definitely bring water.
Francis is a great guy. Went way beyond all expectations. The trip was a full day but very comfortable since we were taking from one place to another in the van. Everything was beyond great 💖
This is an awesome tour! We had several really cool stop. Even went to Monaco/ Monte Carlo Francis was super nice and well informed., Definitely book; you won’t be disappointed
Great tour to see all famous small towns in one day
We have done a few tours but this one was beats the rest. Excellent communication, pick up and drop off was easy. Our host Francis was brilliant. We highly recommend this excursion and ask for Francis as your tour guide. We could not have seen or experienced the volume of sights we did on our own. We really can't fault the day. Watching the sun set was magic.
This tour was a great value and very comprehensive- Stephane spent over 9 hours giving us a great tour with multiple stops so that we could truly experience this area. He is very knowledgeable and gives a good deal of history also. 10/10
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable 10-Hour French Riviera Experience with Frances! We had an absolutely wonderful and memorable experience exploring the French Riviera with Frances! If you are looking for an exceptional tour guide in Nice, we highly recommend him. Frances has a real talent for timing each stop perfectly. He knew exactly when and where to take us to enjoy the beautiful soft sunlight, creating the most stunning lighting for our photos and unforgettable memories. Antibes was a delight, especially its unique morning market, full of local charm and character. Èze was simply breathtaking, with its beautiful hilltop village and spectacular views. The experience could not have been better! And then came Monaco — Frances timed our final hilltop stop perfectly for sunset. Watching the sun go down over the Riviera was truly romantic and magical, making it one of the highlights of our trip. Beyond his excellent itinerary planning and deep experience, Frances is also a genuinely kind and thoughtful person. He has a great sense of humour, making the journey fun and enjoyable, while remaining punctual, professional and attentive throughout the entire 10 hours. What impressed us most was how he combined beautiful sightseeing spots, perfect timing and local knowledge to make the whole day feel effortless and special. Thank you, Frances, for giving us such a wonderful experience and memories we will treasure for a long time! Five stars without hesitation! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended to anyone visiting Nice and wanting to discover the best of the French Riviera in one unforgettable day. Tt es Singapore
We had a wonderful time on the Monaco, Monte Carlo, and Èze Village half-day small group tour! The scenery was breathtaking, Èze Village was charming, and Monaco and Monte Carlo were beautiful to explore. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience enjoyable. A perfect way to discover the French Riviera in a short time. Highly recommended!
