French Riviera Sightseeing Guided Day Trip with Transfer from Nice

This was one of the best days so far of our trip. We were able to see and learn about several towns along the French Riviera. And our host Rafael was great!

Our driver Dennis was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. He was courteous, easier to speak with and a safe driver! We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to anyone that is looking to explore Nice in an efficient way!

The places to see were nice. It just wasn't the tour we all we expecting. Our tour guide was quiet and would not answer questions if we had any. We all wished to be in the other van. The description also states that your guide accompanies you. However, we were just dropped off in each town with no guide to tell us anything about the town. This was our first time in the French Riviera and we were looking to see towns, but also see what makes the towns great and we weren't told anything. Our group got together and all found it to be very confusing. We were all nervous to get lost with the short period of time we had at some of the places. The places were amazing to see, however, the tour itself was not what we were expecting and confusing.

Wonderful amazing, brilliant, well thought of and planned out. Tour guide Rafael was very helpful. Great experience

Our guide Thibaull was amazing. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and adapted to each persons needs. This is the way to see lots of cities and attractions in one day! Eze castle had beautiful views and showed what it was like to live in medieval times! Monaco and Monte Carlo were impressive and driving the Grand Prix track...Wow! It was a wonderful day overall! Best lunch we’ve had all week in Cannes. Thank you so much.

This was a great way to see the French riveria. St. Paul de Vence was amazing. Our tour guide and the others in our small group were perfect 🥰

We visited wonderful places with the most stunning views. However, we felt that the Viator guide/driver could have done a better job. Instead of just dropping us off at the locations he should have accompanied us and explained the historical and other important details of the place. It seemed like he just chauffeured us around. We were left to wander about on our own. Not just at one place but everywhere. We understand there were parking issues but Viator needs to organize and plan better. Also on such a hot day we were not offered a bottle of water until we asked for it. The price of the tour mentioned that water was included!

Great way to see the French Riviera in a day. Fast paced but a great tour. Need to be able to walk quickly and climb steps in order to see everything Great tour guide!

This was the most horrible experience ever! I am giving one star because I have to for completing the review. To start, there were no professional guides. There was just a driver, a horrible, unprofessional, extremely rude, absolutely ridiculously bad driver. His name is Chu. I hope no one ever gets him as a driver. All of us were glad that we made it back alive! There were 6 of us to start with in the party. Our family of three and 2 other ladies and one gentleman. For some unknown reason, the driver changed the entire plan and instead of starting with Monaco, he started with Cannes. The reason he gave was that the traffic from Monaco is better in the evening. One of the two ladies had a plan to take a train from Cannes in the evening but because of his change of plan, she had to change her plan and get a train ticket back from Nice. She got the tickets for the last train available for the day. We all went with his plan as we thought he knows better than all of us being a local. Soon as he started the drive, he was just completely unprofessional. Chaotic driving, unwilling to listen to any of our requests. One of us asked him for the bottle of water promised as part of the tour. He replied that there were no water and he is unable to stop as it will delay his plans. He said he will stop at a supermarket later so she can pick up water, that never happened. He then gave us hot bottles of water during the end of the tour which meant he had water all along in his car. One of the ladies got lost in one of the villages. Luckily the other lady had her number and got in touch with her with directions etc. Rather than being sympathetic of her ordeal, Chu started shouting at her, ridiculing her for getting lost in a small village while she is able to roam around the world and that she has a phone but not capable of using her navigation on the phone. The next encounter was when one of the ladies requested him for putting French music as we were in France and she wanted to enjoy the drive with some local music. Of course Chu misbehaved and ridiculed her for not listening to English music and her lack of taste of music. She then got frustrated and opened the window a little to let fresh air in, Chu of course didn’t let her and closed the window without letting her know from his side of the window controls! It just got intolerable after a point. He then got us stuck in a massive traffic jam, is of course all his reasons of starting the tour in Cannes was a lie. He somehow made it on time for the lady to catch her train as we held on to our breadths when he drove through the highway in extreme high speeds, breaking all possible laws and giving everyone an anxiety attack! Overall, this was a waste of time for all of us, I think some people might even have gotten a medical condition after that drive and we thought we should have just stayed back on the beach! If possible, do another tour and if you do, stay away from Chu, there is no way the positive ratings are when he drove people around!

While the trip is of a great value that allows to see all the highlights Cote d'Azur has to offer, there are couple of concerns. Firstly, we booked English speaking tour, as we were getting picked up, we learned that our guide is sick so there's only Spanish speaking lady who we had real trouble communicating. It's an unacceptable practice, frankly and we should have been offered another English speaking guide. That has not happened. Secondly, each stop in the itinerary gives you 20-40 mins of free time, which is an absolute minimum. Instead, we ended up spending more that an hour in the fragrance museum, aka tourist trap selling perfumes and hand made soap. That was not even in the itinerary.
