Excellent day trip outside of Nice. Our guide, Nabil, is extremely knowledgeable about the area and it's history which made the day very interesting. He is very friendly and professional and knows the ins and outs of all the places we visited. We were able to avoid crowds at Monaco and Monte Carlo and see the areas without mobs of people. Absolutely loved the medieval village of Saint Paul de Vence. Highly recommend this tour.

Nabil is an excellent guide. He took us to Monaco early in the day where we were able freely walk around without dealing with mobs of people who show up later. I loved visiting Eze with the Fragonard perfume factory and then a delicious lunch. By far my favorite stop however was the medieval village of Saint Paul de Vence- so wonderful. Nabil is exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of the region and, he is a gracious host. I highly recommend this tour to see so much of the area and learn a great deal about the locale.

We booked the tour less than 24 hours and was happy to be able to go on it. Nabil was our tour guide. His knowledge of the history, geography and economics of the area was impressive. He made sure we have enough time at the places we stopped and did not rush us in anyway. It was a great tour

Nabil is definitely one excellent tour guide. He has shared all the historical background of each attraction. We did not feel rushed at all as we are given plenty of time to visit each attraction unlike other tour we had in France. Fully recommended for this tour!! You will not regret it.
