About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- juliekE998LK0 contributionsA full and interesting day of south of France sightsThe tour was great! We saw so much and got a great introduction to the south of France. Ralph was super knowledgeable- he had a ton of great info to share. Loved that we went to Antibes and Eze. I didn’t know anything about these places, and they were some of my favorites. Highly recommend.Written October 5, 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

- Wander273415685320 contributionsGlad we did it, but not the bestKind 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.Written September 20, 2024

The minivan does not have a door for the last row of 3 seats, so row 2 passengers can only get in/out when the second row seat is tilted forward. Too bad if you got the last row which we did. The guide made little effort to include us in conversation which was barely audible from where we were. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and comminicated in English well but got frustrated when we voiced our concern for being in the last seat. He said, 'you booked a shared tour, not a private one.' The treatment for all guests was not equal, partly due to the seat arrangement. Also, the dark windows with no ease of access made us feel trapped. Otherwise, good itinerary and lovely views.

I was very excited to go on this tour, but unfortunately left disappointed. Eze and Monaco are beautiful cities, but this tour tried to pack in way too much. It left my family feeling like we only saw the movie trailer and had no time to actually enjoy or experience the sights these towns had to offer. This tour should have only been offered as a full day trip or several things should have been cut out of the itinerary. Even our “free time” was only 20 minutes at a time and that included bathroom breaks. I think traffic was worse than usual and there were a couple of cruise ships in port, but those are things a tour company should be able to plan for and work around. Our guide was nice and knowledgeable and the van was very comfortable, but again it was too much to see with no time to do anything.

Tour Azur thank you for taking the time to write your review and take on board the points you make. However, we offer both Full Day and Half Day tour so that everybody gets the choice to spend the time they want on a tour.
Traffic is of course a problem for any tour, but unfortunately we cannot plan for this: road traffic accidents are spontaneous and not planned in advance. The guides do all know the best and quickest ways into Monaco, but if one road gets backed up, all the others do.
Tour Azur however apologize that the tour was not as good as you expected it to be.
Sincerely,
Tour Azur

Very good tour, the guide gave us a lot of information about the area, we loved it every second.
The first stop was at one of the best viewpoints over Cote d’azur, between Nice and Eze. Then we’ve arrived in Eze and wandered a bit on the small streets and have visited the perfume factory. The final stop was at Monaco, where we caught the “changing guards” at the castle and walked a little on the streets of Monte Carlo.

Great Experience for a full day tour of Monaco and Eze!
As a solo traveller this was a great way to see two incredible places in just one day. The guide picked me up from my hotel and was super friendly. Also, while I was initially booked on the half day tour but the tour guide was able to upgrade me to the full day for free so that was definitely a positive experience. The guide was knowledgeable, funny, and made everyone feel comfortable. Would recommend for solo / couples.

Here at Tour Azur, we are delighted to read that you enjoyed your tour with us to Eze and Monaco so much. While we at Tour Azur know that the half-day tour is just as much fun as the full-day tour, we are pleased that you got the upgrade for the full-day; the extra time in each place you visit is a real bonus!

This was a really great tour. Pick up at our hotel was very convenient and on time. The nicely appointed van only seats 8, so it’s a nice small group which is perfect. Our guide did a nice job pointing out sights on the drive to Eze, and we made one stop for photos before arriving. Once in Eze, he guided us up the hill (not a small climb btw) and then we had 30 minutes or so to explore. Eze was really unique and beautiful, but we felt it was a little unwelcoming to non-hotel guests. We couldn’t sit & grab a glass of wine in the cafe.
Afterwards, we took a tour of Fragonard perfume factory. I was skeptical, but it was actually fascinating. Of course they end in the store where you can purchase perfumes, soaps, etc., which we took advantage of. Maybe not everyone appreciates that tho.
The next stop was Monaco and Monte Carlo with two stops. We saw the Princes palace, Grand Prix track (took a lap in the minivan, lol) and the casino. Had a few minutes to shop and have a glass of champagne in front of the palace as we were celebrating our 32nd anniversary that day. Not a bad way to celebrate!
We booked the half day version of this tour and while we really enjoyed it, we were always a bit rushed at the stops. If we had it to do over, we’d book the full day so we could have more time at the stops, especially Monaco & Monte Carlo.
I wish I could recall the tour guides name, but he’s a very nice guy, originally from Syria. If that helps identify him, please share our sincere thanks for a great day!

The whole tour was good! Our tour guide was really friendly and funny, and explained the most important things without overwhelming amount of info.
The ride was smooth, and the people in our group were also very nice, which makes a difference.
Overall, would recommend this tour to anyone who’s in French Riviera for the first time.

Our guide was Antoine. He told us detailed stories and about the area. He was very welcoming, funny and fully respectful. Lucky for me and my mother, we were the only ones on the whole trip. Highly highly recommend for ones, who want to get a full experience of Eze and Monaco in a decently short amount of time.

All excellent! Eze was magnificent surprise seeing such a well preserved medieval village on top of a mountain. The gardens and views were superb.
Monaco incl Monte Carlo was mind blowingly opulent and a feat of civil and structural engineering to be admired. Cramming so much into such a small space.
Our guide Antoin was first class - knowledgeable, informative, courteous, humourous, and very likeable. 10/10.

Thank you Tour Azur and Laura who was our guide and driver for this wonderful trip we had through Eze and Monaco and included a visit to the perfume factory. Laura made it very interesting and fun, switching between English for us and Spanish for the other couple in the trip. It was just a small group of four in the comfortable Merc. van.
Laura also gave us useful tips to spend the rest of the day in Nice as we were flying back the same night!
We were only there for a day in Nice but this tour made it worthwhile - real value for time and money!

Many thanks for your kind review, and we'll pass your compliments on to Laura - she will also be happy to know that her tips came in handy! It's always complicated to do a tour in a couple of languages, so we are happy to hear that you felt so comfortable with English and Spanish on your tour.

Martina was very welcoming, friendly and approachable. She made us feel special with her lively and easy going attitude.
Not only we had the opportunity to see and experience what we booked but came to know the history of nice and the surrounding area during our interactive conversation with Martina. Her wealth of knowledge certainly makes an excellent guide and it was worth the time being in that half day tour.
Highly recommended.

Can I do this trip from the port as we are on a cruise ship and stopping here for the day?
Written April 28, 2022
I don't think so as the tour starts in Nice (I assume that your cruise ship is docking in Monaco) and they pick you up and drop you off at hotels in Nice

We would like to take this tour on 9/12 but leave the group in Monte Carlo, where we start our cruise, rather than returning to Nice. We will have some small luggage with us. Two rolling carryon bags and two gym bags. Could this work? If not, can you recommend private tour?
