10-hour guided Riviera day from Nice to Eze, Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, and Saint-Paul de Vence, with Fragonard perfume visit.

“Fantastic day out. Thought the itinerary was great, where genuinely the description of the activity fitted the reality. We were picked up at 8-45am from our hotel and for the rest of the experience (about 10 hours) everything was outstanding. The places we visited were great, but what made it even more special was our guide, Ruben, who definitely went above and beyond to make sure that the day was absolutely the best. I really liked the way the we were made to feel that we had control of the itinerary for the day and that we even had a special ‘gift’ experience at the end! 100% recommended and Ruben…”

“Great introduction to the popular French Riviera area for the rich and famous with a bit of history included. It was, I think, good to visit these centres... Cannes, Monte-Carlo, Eze, and some places in between. There are some interesting things to learn and enough free time to work out it you want to visit again. Helpful to be picked up from Motel and dropped off. A good value day tour.”

2-hour French Riviera boat cruise from Nice with a snorkeling and swimming stop in Villefranche Bay near St Jean Cap Ferrat.

“Very nice trip. We had a lovely view from the boat of the coast, and the snorkelling was safe and fun. There are a few jelly fish (as expected for this coast and this time of year), but these are easy to spot from the water. One person was stung, but the crew dealt with this calmly and professionally. One suggestion for improvement: please improve access to the boat from the jetty or clarify description for the tour - access is via a steep ladder down to the boat from the jetty”

He speaks English and Spanish very well, which made communication effortless and added to the enjoyment of the tour. The tour covered stunning locations along the coast, each more beautiful than the last. From the glamorous streets of Cannes to the picturesque villages of Èze and the breathtaking views from Nice, every stop was excellent. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the Côte d'Azur.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 309 reviews · 4 hours · from $112

Open-top 3-wheel car tour from Nice to Eze and Cap Ferrat, with Mont Alban views and a Fragonard perfume workshop.

“Great fun. Zachariah took good care of us. He took time to explain how the cars worked, allowed us to practice and ensured that we had turns being in the front, back or middle. Saw some great sights. Stops were just enough time to give us a short break and to allow for refreshments etc. Instructions say to wear a hat, but there is a risk of this blowing off while driving. Either wear a tight hat or don't bother. As a person with short arms, I felt that I needed to lean forward a lot when driving but I soon got used to it.”
