The tour was great fun. Unfortunately, we couldn't visit two places, including Monaco. Nevertheless, over time it turned out great and we were able to use the 4 hours without getting stressed. We can definitely recommend the tour.

An excellent moment with a top guide who made us discover Nice, Villefranche sur Mer, Monaco with our hair in the wind. We were all delighted including the girls (13 years old) and our son (soon to be 7 years old). See you next year

Prompt pick up at our hotel. Guide was a good driver, spoke very good English and gave us lots of information with a sense of humour. The vehicle was very comfortable and air conditioned.

Chilled operator who explained everything clearly. GPS with built in tourist spots a bonus. So much fun doing our own tour

Kind and nice guide! fully enjoyed our visit to Cote d'Azur. Definitely a must-do when you visit Nice.
