“Laurent (like Yves Saint Laurent, without the Yves Saint) was our guide, and he was passionate, time conscious and an excellent guide throughout. He was clear about keeping to the schedule, which I highly appreciated. He collected us from our accommodation in Nice and took us to all the towns included in the tour. My personal favourite stops were St Paul de Vence and Eze, and I recommend hiking up to the Eze botanical garden for stunning views. Monaco old town comes in a close third. I highly recommend this tour.”

“Noe (Noah) was our tour guide/driver and fantastic! We were picked up at our hotels. Our group consisted of 8 people from Puerto Rico, Maryland and Kuala Lumpur. It was a lively group - we had a lot of fun (we saw our friends from Puerto Rico the next day in St. Paul de Vence). The van was a brand new Mercedes and very comfortable. Noe's gave us the right amount of guidance as well as independence throughout the day as we went to Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo. Eze is basically one road with a little tiny market - cute. The perfumery was interesting. Monaco was spectacular. They were…”

“I thought Sebastian was extremely good at his job. He went over and above to present the best possible experience for us. He was cool calm and collected when things didn’t go to plan. His knowledge was incredible and he told us many fascinating things . A microphone would have been good as I sat in the back seat and found it hard to hear. I loved the last experience which he said was the cherry on top. Thanks Sebastian I would come and visit this area again just to do another trip with you . 10/10 thank you”
