I can’t say enough good things about this tour. We were picked up at our hotel and being a small group, there were only 7 of us in a comfortable mini-van. And the other 2 couples were only booked for the morning, so we were able to be alone with our tour guide Nadir, for the rest of the afternoon!
Our first stop was Èze for about an hour, including another stop along the coast for good photos. Set on the hillside, both the town and views from Èze are so beautiful. My husband didn’t have the easiest time as he’s not good with stairs and the entire place is steps and winding paths – he said the town is perfect for mountain goats. LOL But there are plenty of spots to sit and rest or have a snack and drink. It’s full of boutique shops and nearly every spot is photo-worthy. If you can fit it in on a tour, we recommend going!
Next was Monaco with Monte Carlo. The coastline and water is so beautiful. Other than the church, we didn’t have time to go into any other buildings – just had a quick lunch and some gift shopping, plus spent some time in the park. You don’t need a lot of time there, so adding it to a day trip is easy and convenient to see a different country and more of the beautiful coastline.
At the Monte Carlo Casino, people are allowed into the front lobbies and bar to look around and take photos. It’s a pretty casino inside and out. There are also washrooms available on the lower level.
After dropping off the others in our group, we traveled to Antibes for about 45 minutes and then to Cannes for another 45 minutes. Antibes was neat – seeing the smaller and HUGE boats, beach, plus a nice ceiling-covered market, which included shopping, bars, cafés, restaurants and bakeries.
At Cannes, it was nice to walk along the boardwalk and neat to check out the theater and handprints out front. The beach is also beautiful.
Our tour guide was the kindest, most attentive guide we’ve had on any trip. We went off on our own at each location and then had great conversations in the van - discussing history, politics and much more about the region. WE VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
