We had a great guide, Raphel. Very pleasant and professional. Great tour 👍

Honestly, the drive along the Corniche was SO PRETTY, felt like a movie set or something. I went solo but ended up chatting with a couple from Germany the whole time. Our guide, Pierre (I think that’s how you spell it?), was suuuper enthusiastic—he even recommended a gelato shop in Eze (btw, pistachio is a winner). Monaco was pretty wild with all the cars zooming around, and I managed to sneak a peek at the casino inside (no pics allowed). Only bummer was the traffic getting into Monaco but worth it for those views. Bring a hat—it was hot!

Went with my bf for a half-day escape from Nice. The roads are twisty and kinda made me a bit motion sick, but the stops were worth it. Eze is like a fairy tale. Our guide, Sophia, gave us a ton of little fun facts (did you know Grace Kelly’s wedding dress is kept in the palace??). Monaco was BUSY but still managed to snap a pic of a Ferrari. Wish we had more time at the gardens tho, felt a bit rushed.

Took my two teens and they actually smiled (rare)! The guide—Louis—was super patient and made sure to give us plenty of time for photos. Eze was a real gem, especially the perfumery tour (smelled a bit strong, not gonna lie). Casino in Monaco is all glitz, but the gardens were my fav. Weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot. Would do again.

Me and my wife had a BLAST! The coastline is just—wow—gorgeous. Got to try some local pastries in Eze (can’t remember the name but they were sugary and DELICIOUS). The guide pointed out where Formula 1 happens in Monaco which was cool for me, but my wife just loved the flowers everywhere. Bus was comfy, AC worked, so that’s a plus.
