During the drives to different locations she gave background information about the stops. Once we arrived at the stops we were free to explore. My teen daughters loved it. Great way to explore the region and get great photos.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 66 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $190

Set out from Nice at about 8:45 am in an air-conditioned minibus, with free pickup at Nice hotels and a group capped at 15. Visit Cannes, Monaco and Monte Carlo, Èze and its Fragonard perfume factory, and Antibes. Guides vary, with past trips led by Jacqueline, Nicolas, Marina and Darian. The pace is brisk, and the perfume visit is optional.

“This was a very good trip in a sense to see and preview towns that we wanted to further explore and spend more time in following days. Driver/guide was fun and informative. Mercedes van was brand new and very comfortable. I almost think that this trip would have been better if we had one less stop so that more time can be spent in town and less in a car. Antibes was a hidden gem. All in all so worth it.”
