About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Adrienne B0 contributionsWonderful time touring the French Riviera with NorahTwo of us toured with Tour Azur. Even with the bldg closures, we had a great time. Nora was outstanding and knowledgeable. She was very accommodating as we needed extra assistance.Written November 20, 2024
- sayuris4840 contributionsExplore Provence without needing to drive yourselfGreat communication from Tour Azur in the lead up and post tour. I enjoyed our small group and made some lovely friends on the day. I liked seeing the mountainous areas of Provence, which I’d not be able to get to myself. Franciska was a great guide and went out of her way to make our day special.Written September 30, 2024
- stewartmacpherson0 contributionsWe were able to enjoy an experience of local History and regional wine tasting.We enjoyed our 1/2 day wine tasting and tour in luxury with our driver and tour guide DAVID who was knowledgeable, polite and friendly as well as very professional. Highly recommend David any time!Written September 17, 2024
- S4658TBjeremyr0 contributionsBest excursion by far!This excursion was by far our favorite with Sabine. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and even entertained our 1 year old daughter! She helped us with the stroller and navigating the crowd. Would definitely recommend 100%! Sabine was amazing!Written August 21, 2024
- Dani D0 contributionsThe best way to see the countrysideWe had the best time during this tour! Our guide David was brilliant - he was so knowledgeable and he even took us to a few extra locations as we chose to skip Cannes. The whole tour was worth every penny. From start to finish, we felt really comfortable and so happy with all the places that we got to visit that are only easily accessible by car. It was the highlight of our trip to the south of France. Also a big thank you to this lovely company as they didn't cancel our tour even though there weren't enough people. We would definitely book again when we come back.Written July 31, 2024
- Wanderer873900 contributionsThey cancelled tour last minuteTour Azure rang me 10pm, night before the tour to say they have cancelled the tour. Do not recommend Tour Azure, unreliable. I now have to wait for my refundWritten July 28, 2024
- Wizofoz220 contributionsExcellent walking tour of NiceMy girlfriend and I did a walking tour of Nice with Alexander. He was fantastic and did a great job of taking us around and educating us on the city and region. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the popular history of the city and the details that only come with doing this for more than a decade. Would highly recommend!Written July 26, 2024
- jmardelli0 contributionsVery nice Povence tourexcellent tour, we were picked up at our hotel on time, we drove first to Canne with a short stop in front of the convention center, then we headed to the provence area, first stop was in Grass with very nice tour of the perfume factory, then headed to Gourdon, a small town on the mountain, we had time to walk around, explore the small streets, shops and had lunch on our own, then we headed to Tourette de Loop another small town then our last stop was St Paul de vence, before going back to Nice It was a long day (about 8 hours) but was amazing tour to spend a day away from the city and explore the villages, our Guide Thierry was excellent, the tour is highly recommendedWritten June 29, 2024
- TravelingOnNow0 contributionsOur tour guide was amazing!What an amazing experience! Not only did we see Cannes, Grasse and Gourdon...but, we had the most wonderful tour guide. David was prompt, professional, funny and so very knowledgeable. It was a delight to learn about each area! This was a first visit to France and our first tour...David guided us to the most delightful restaurant for lunch with incredible views. It was such a fantastic way to begin our vacation. Thank you, David! You are a gem!Written June 17, 2024
- Christine H0 contributionsThe perfect Côte d’Azur summaryOur tour guide David was phenomenal. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept us entertained with all kinds of tidbits and stories from Nice to Monte Carlo and everywhere in-between. Eze was such a charming, fairytale village with so many galleries and local shops. We enjoyed wandering around there and grabbing a sandwich for the road from this adorable food truck. Didn’t go to the Fragonard factory but made a pit stop in the shop (the ladies inside were so friendly and helpful). Stops along the winding coast road for photos, checking out the hot spots in Monaco, and driving along the Grand Prix track were other highlights. This was the perfect highlight tour for our short attention-span family. Highly recommend David!!Written June 5, 2024
- kellyj1150 contributionsPersonable guide takes you through the beauties of the South of FranceWe had so much fun! Eric was very personable and had so many facts to share that I feel like you couldn’t get anywhere else. He gave us some free time which was nice as well:) We got a lot done in a day and it was all memorable and fun! Would totally recommendWritten June 5, 2024
- alicen6340 contributionsGreat locations- bad guideOur guide “Thiery” was disengaged and sarcastic. Made me feel like this tour was a burden to him. Commentary was minimal, unable to engage the passengers. I hope this guy finds another job because he obviously hates this one and it isn’t even high season yet!Written June 2, 2024
- emoi210 contributionsNice tourIt was a lovely day touring all the places we wanted to go but without a vehicle it would have been difficult. Yvonn (if I spell her name correctly) was great, attentive and professional. Take note that in this tour your guide explains things in the car then drop you off let you wander by yourself at each spot. I don’t mind that but I wished we could’ve had more time in Cannes. Otherwise everything else was great.Written June 1, 2024
- M8608SQyvonnec0 contributionsDavid deserves a raise!!We had the most wonderful tour with David. We got lucky as we were the only ones and David was so personable and knowledgeable. He accommodated us so well and we ended up having the best time touring the countryside of Provence. Could not recommend him enough!!Written May 30, 2024
- mscott19770 contributionsAmazing experience with AdriennMy mom and I had a terrific day trip transfer with Adrienn from Nice to Cannes with stops in between. She is smart, knowledgeable, and passionate, and her passion comes through! She is also a great problem solver when there was a bit confusion from the company. She had many great insights and we learned so much! I strongly recommend you request her if you can!Written May 26, 2024

The driver/guide David was outstanding - his knowledge was really good. He was patient and took time to explain the history of each location and took the time to ask us if we needed more information. Was very helpful. The itinerary, although a bit long, was well planned and we could understand the French Riviera very well.

Martina was a wonderful tour guide. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and thoughtful. We had ample time at each stop along the way to get a flavor for the city. She was very flexible, asking us whether we wanted to walk around since it rained at the start of the tour and provided umbrellas for those who didn’t bring them. I’d highly recommend the tour and if you get Martina as your guide you can consider yourself lucky.

Kind of overpriced for what it was — you’re pretty much paying for car service for the day to take you to each place in the itinerary. Because of traffic, our planned time in some places was cut super short, for example, we only got 15 minutes in Cannes. It was not our guide Alessandro’s fault (although he was very nice, he didn’t provide much commentary throughout the tour), I think it just needs to be planned better by the tour company to provide greater value for participants.

This day trip started off bad and only got worse as it went along. Our first stop about 45 minutes out of Nice was a fruit and vegetable market in Antibes. Why we wasted half the morning here was very puzzling. Then on to Cannes and after that we went to Eze which was the highlight of the whole trip. A very cool little town that we really enjoyed. By this point in the trip we could tell that our driver was a little off and had no people skills. He would just ignore our questions or not answer until he was ready. I would also like to note that most of his conversation during the trip was with the two people sitting up front. The rest of us in the back two rows of the van couldn't hear what he was saying or talking about. Then we arrived in Monaco and this is where it really got crazy. As he was instructing us on where to meet him after walking around by the Prince's palace the skies were already darkening and rain was definitely coming. All of us showed up at the meeting point at the time that he told us. By this point it was pouring rain. Except he was nowhere to be found. After waiting almost 30 minutes we called the tour office to inquire about where are driver was. A short time later they informed us that he was stuck in traffic somewhere in Monaco. It took him another 20 minutes to finally show up and then he acted like he was the victim because according to him they close the streets when it rains in Monaco. Why would you leave the vicinity when clearly it was going to rain and you are responsible for a tour group. No apology from him for leaving us stranded for almost an hour. In fact he joked about it. When we confronted him about what happened he got angry and starting driving through the garage erratically. At the Monte Carlo casino the last stop he did the same thing left us waiting in the rain for more 30 minutes and we again had to call the office to find our driver. When he arrived he again didn't apologize he said nothing. Worst tour ever!

This tour could have been better if we had a better guide. Terry was the driver and our guide. At first I sat in the front seat and everything was fine. My friend was in the 3rd row seat and needed to be up front for her comfort. Now I am in the 3rd row. It was fine except I could not hear and understand the driver. When I asked a question on the next stop he snapped at me saying I already told everyone that. I told him I could not hear him and did not understand him. At that point his attitude was not customer friendly and put a damper on my time with the group.

The tour itself wasn’t bad. You can travel to all the places in such a day. However, if you are expecting that the tour guide will guide you on the road and describe what you can see, then just stop imagining. It’s more like we hire a taxi driver to drive us around, the driver will describe the city briefly on the car, but when we are at the destination, he just said ‘Come back in 1 hour and 30 minutes’ and drove the car away. We all expected that the tour guide will lead us to have a walk. But unfortunately, he just dropped us off and we need to Google by ourselves on what we can see there. Not worth it for such a high price.

Tour Azur is disappointed to read your review. While a shared public sightseeing tour can never be a fully guided tour, we are suprised by what you have written: Our driver guides are there to inform you of what to see in each location even if he/she cannot accompany you everywhere. We would be happy to read more about your experience, of course: Please feel free to contact us at tourazur@tourazur.com.

Our tour guide was Maria and she was splendid! We stopped in several places to take some very nice pictures, she has given us very interesting history aspects of the places we visited, and Village of Eze was spectacular. The arrangement was easy via e-mail, you can pay with the cash, or CC, responsive via email for us oversees, and very punctual. I would highly recommend booking a tour with them as it is flawless! Thank you!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our tour guide was “Smiley” who was outgoing and friendly. There were two other couples on the tour. One couple did not speak English. Smiley effortlessly switched from English to Spanish to accommodate the non English speaking couple. Smiley gave enough time at each stop and the tour ran smoothly. The weather was not good and could have put a damper on the tour. However, Smiley overcame the weather with her joiie de vivre. She went the extra mile to ensure that the tour was enjoyable for all.
