Interesting little town, and I do mean little town. Yet no offense, but there are very few things to see and do. But what is available is well worth the visit, and worth experiencing. A few great and unique shops, a few one-of-a-kind peculiarities, and completely walkable, entertaining and fun. Not to mention a handful of great places to snack, eat, drink – especially on a hot Arizona summer day when that ice cold beer keeps calling your name. Elsewhere I give details about this town, but for the sake of argument excellent restaurants, great things to see, lots of history, and like a said, some really enjoyable fascinating peculiarities. Plus, the whole area around the town have great things to see, to experience and to enjoy… so take some time and visits Winslow, it beats just standing on your corner!
I enjoyed traveling to Antibes and Eze. They were both beautiful in their own way. The market at Antibes was amazing and the scenery at Eze was really extraordinary. Our travel guide was extremely accommodating and we really enjoyed the information provided during the tour.
Eric was great! He took extra time to show us everything. Very patient with us! Learned so much history from him!
Good tour highly recommended . Put it on your list of things to do. Our guide Eric was wonderful. And very informative.
Thank you very much for your comment that we will pass to Eric . We look forward to seeing you again during your next trip to the South of France
This tour hits all the great spots you’ll want to see if you are only in Nice for a few days. We felt like we got a great lay-of-the-land!
Thank you Lynn for this comment , highly appreciated
Places okay and the guide was knowledgeable. However the logistics was chaotic and we ended returning to Nice to pick up new guests and going to Eze twice. Time wasted.
Dear Sir, thank you for giving 1 star when saying that the places where nice and the tour guide was nice and knowledgable. You went twice to EZE because the perfume factory didn't have enough hostesses to process to the visit when your guided did arrive so to optimize your timing your tour guide went to Eze, Monaco and than drove back to visit the perfume factory as expected . Eze is on the way back to NICE anyway !!! (we he could have driven on the highway , would you have rather appreciate this option ? ) Our area is an area very busy at this time of the year and when there are some cruise ship there are a lot of tourists here so we do our best to go go the places and not having you to loose time in the traffic Let us add that you didn't book a private tour, therefore yes there are other passengers and that day, yes some people only booked the half day journey . We are a sorry if you didn't appreciate the day you spent with us and that you didn't relax...
We had a great day with Eric our driver for the day. He picked us up promptly and we had a total of 7 people in our van. We stopped at all the beautiful locations on the Riviera and Eric provided us with ongoing history and fun anecdotes about the locals and visiting celebrities. It's a long day, but we'll worth it. Thanks Eric for a great day and the French lessons as well.
Thank you for this nice message that we will pass to ERIC .
I was not sure about this tour at the beginning when I read the reviews regarding driving and traffic etc. I am glad we booked this trip. It is a full day 9 hours tour that covers big cities such as Cannes and Monaco as well as small villages, like Eze, St.Paul, and Antibes etc - some of the most beautiful villages in France. Our tour guide/driver Akis also showed us some nearby villages such as Juan-les-pins and pointed out interesting sites for great views and photos that only the locals knows. Akis told us how to get back to these places by train/bus if we have more time to explore the area. Akis planed the route to beat the traffic so we did not experienced too much traffic jam. At some places, he dropped us off and picked us up such as Monte Carlo, while in other places he accompanied us all the way to the top like in the village. We find the tour has a good balance of guided portion and free time. Akis had good knowledge of the history and shared it with us, which helped understand the culture - always the most interesting and important part of travel. If you have limited time but want to explore French Riviera in a day, this this the tour you want book. We had a wonderful day with Akis.
Thank you for your comments that we will transmit to AKIS Highly appreciated
This was a WONDERFUL tour and our guide, Akis was the BEST!! Arrived early, knew each of our names and told us so much useful information about every town we visited. My favorite part was Monaco. Beautiful city.
Best ever tour guide. Prepared us for every town we visited by sharing history of the town as well as French and Italian history which was so helpful. You are fortunate to have someone as professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and thoughtful working for you.
