Spend 8 to 9 hours with Nice Immersion guide Robin, traveling from Nice to Monte Carlo, Monaco’s old town and hilltop Èze in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. Expect Formula 1 circuit streets, big coastal views, time for optional palace or museum visits, and a guided look at how natural perfume is made.

“If I ever make it back to the south of France, I would definitely book again with Robin. We were on a Mediterranean Cruise and Cannes was one of our port stops. Robin was at the port ready to greet us. It was my favorite excursion of the whole trip. He took us Nice, Ez, Monaco and stopped at the most picturesque spots for great instagram worthy pics. The love and knowledge of his country made the tour informative and aspiring. Robin was like a friend showing me and my family around his home county. So if you want to see the French Riviera, you won't be disappointed if you…”
