“Fantastic experience! We booked this tour privately rather than through the cruise ship we traveled with and our experience was wonderful! Our guide met us right at the dock and immediately walked us to a clean and comfortable van. The tour was amazing. Our guide spoke wonderful English and was full of information about Nice, Eze and Monaco. She constructed the tour based upon our wishes and had great advice about areas to get the best pictures, where to shop, and eat. The best part of a private car/van tour is that the drivers can take you right up to the entrance of the siters, no parking a bus far…”
