          Luxury Private French Rivera tour from Monaco
          We stopped in Monaco while on a Mediterranean cruise and used Liven Up for a private tour from Monaco Port. We previously had visited Eze, Nice and the Monte Carlo casino on a prior cruise so we wanted the opportunity to visit some of the other nearby towns. I checked out Liven Up’s website for great ideas, and then contacted them via email. Marion then assisted me with organizing a tour specific tailored to my interests. She was full of great suggestions and quick to reply to my many many questions. She was amazingly helpful and the reason I chose to book with Liven Up. We decided on a visit to Antibes to see the Picasso museum, a stop in St. Paul de Vence with pre-arranged reservations for lunch at a restaurant with a nice view, and a visit to Monte Carlo to drive along the F1 track. We had a great day! Xavier was our very pleasant and knowledgeable driver. He picked us up in a luxury Mercedes Van. We took a scenic drive along the coast to Antibes, which gave me a better understanding of all the different towns situated along the coast. The Picasso museum was a bit underwhelming, but we enjoyed strolling around Antibes and visiting the market. We drove to St Paul de Vence, which is a beautiful and charming hill top town with lots of interesting art galleries. I would have liked to have spent more time there, and my husband and I are already hoping to visit St Paul de Vence again on a return trip next year. We ended our day in Monte Carlo, where we visited the small church, visited the palace, and strolled around the town. We then drove the F1 track back to the Monaco port. Xavier did a great job telling us interesting stories and historical facts about F1. Overall he was a very pleasant, safe, and informative driver. In fact, I would have loved to have had him as a walking guide at each stop because he is so knowledgeable! The tidbits he shared with us while driving were great, however, and we very much enjoyed our day. The tour was costly, but I would say fair given the lavish location (Monaco), luxury transportation, ease of booking, ability to customize the day, and importantly 5 star door to door service with drop off and pick up on time at the port. Liven Up will definitely be my first choice for any tour or transportation needs whenever in the French Rivera. Highly recommended!

          Worthwhile tour of medieval villages
          The locations were fascinating even if you are not a history buff. And the guide did a very good job, providing background information and interesting stories. There was ample time at each location to see everything. Probably not as fun on a rainy day, but we were lucky to have good weather.

          Zara was a helpful, excellent and knowledgeable guide. The highlight was the beautiful village of St Paul de Vence where we visited amazing art galleries full of contemporary works.

          Private tour of stunningly beautiful part of the world with a fabulous guide
          We had an absolutely brilliant full day private tour with Mac who was so knowledgeable and entertaining. Nothing was too much effort, and we put our ideas together to create a bespoke tour of Monaco, Eze and the coast. Thank you!

          Excellent introduction to sights along the French Riveria.
          We were staying in Nice and we wanted to see more of the surrounding area. Mac was our guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very considerate. The weather at times was terrible but Mac did his best to work around difficult conditions to make the tour as comfortable and valuable as possible. Time allotted to each stop was limited but sufficient. Overall an excellent experience.

Cannes was ok..just to tick a box..Antibes is an absolute delight and the medieval village of Paul st Vance was magical. I DID however trip on some cobblestones and Juliano was so warm and comforting..am so sorry I didn't get a chance to thank you enough.i wanted to rush to MY room to ice my knee..am fine now..will recommend this trip..but only if we get Juliano..HE IS FANTASTIC!!!.🥰🥰🥰

          Very worth while!
          Our guide, Victor was extremely well versed in the history, current governmental and societal aspects of Monaco and the surrounding cities and countries. His friendly demeanor coupled with his knowledge and eagerness to share made the entire experience very worth while. I highly recommend this tour.

          Awesome tour with Julien
          We had a full day tour from Cannes to Monaco and Eze on Oct 1. Our guide/driver was Julien and he was excelllent. He is very knowledgeable about all 3 cities and kept us entertained with lots of inside information/stories. He asked what we wanted to see and tailored our day accordingly. When we were on our own, he gave us specific instructions. We were able to see everything we wanted in the time s alotted. Monaco, Eze and Cannes are beautiful and worth a visit!! Loved this tour and Julien!!

          This tour was the highlight of our French Riviera experience!
          Our tour guide, Michael, made this tour the highlight of our French Riviera experience. He was a wealth of knowledge as a native of the area and made sure that our interest in the history of Nice, Eze and Monaco was fully explained. Our half-day tour was easy as we jumped on and off his spacious van, walking the steep hills with him talking the entire time.

        My wife and I had an amazing experience with Liven Up on our tour from Nice to Monaco and Eze. Our guide, Vassili, was exceptional—knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. He made the tour truly memorable with his insightful commentary and great sense of humor. The itinerary was well-planned, and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend Liven Up and Vassili for anyone looking to explore this beautiful region!

        We were staying in Nice for four days & did a tour to Monaco with Liven Up Tours one morning. Our guide, Xavier, picked us up at our hotel, then picked up three others for the trip. I highly recommend Xavier! He is very personable, and very knowledgeable about the whole area since he's from Nice. Many of his ancestors are also Italian, so he is very familiar with the history of the area between France & Italy. Between Nice and Monaco, he stopped at a number of scenic viewpoints so we could get photos, and showed us where Princess Grace had her auto accident on the highway. We were there last month, in August, and the whole area is beautiful. Especially enjoyed wandering around the old town in Eze & the perfume factory tour was also interesting. They really didn't put any pressure on us to buy anything at the end of the tour. My wife and I would definitely do another tour with Liven Up & I think we'd ask for Xavier again!

        Tin was an entertaining and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour. Liked his flexibility with the itinerary around the temperature - definitely preferred Eze village in the evening the views are stunning! Air conditioned car was a godsend! Great photo ops and La Fragonard is definitely worth the visit. Top afternoon/ evening thank you Tin ☺️

        It might feel a bit rushed but that’s to be expected so if you want to spend more time in each location, book an all day tour ! For us, it was perfect !
        Thanks so much Michael!

        Thierry was very knowledgeable giving us all a wonderful informative experience! And very accommodating - an infant seat was provided for our 7 month old too so great for a comfortable nap! There were sufficient moments also to enjoy some free time to explore during the tour. So much was packed in to the half-day. An excellent enjoyable experience!

        Excellent tour. We were collected at our hotel which was really convenient and our guide Moman even phoned our hotel to advise that he was running late ( I'm guessing due to the previous passengers not showing up for collection on time given that they were late for every collection time on the tour), we were brought to really good viewing points and given lots of information about all the areas and lifestyle of the locals. I won't spoil the surprise by giving too much detail but I feel that this was a well paced and intetesting tour. Would highly recommend it.

        My wife and I booked our Monaco, Monte Carlo, Eze, La Turbie half day from Nice tour at short notice, but were happy to be able to get a space. We’ve not visited Nice or Monaco before, so it was great to have a knowledgeable guide to show us the sights.

        Our guide Thin arrived at our hotel on time and made us feel welcome right from the start. He kept up the chat throughout, with plenty of interesting facts, and he took us to places we would never have thought to visit.

        The highlights included the Jardin Exotique in Eze, an extra stop we weren’t expecting, but this was a climb up through the ancient streets to an enchanting garden full of exotic plants and sculptures, with spectacular views. After that, there was the tour of the Fragonard perfume factory, with a very knowledgeable guide who taught us a lot about how perfume is made.

        It was lovely to see Monaco from the lookout point, where you can really appreciate how small and densely-packed the country is. Watching the changing of the guard at the Palace is like a step back in time, and we had a few extra minutes to take in the cathedral, the opera house, and the Monte Carlo casino.

        All round a fantastic day, and would definitely recommend for a first-time visitor.

        The tour guide was very nice however he was extremely stressed throughout the tour because the first family that he picked up put us 30 min off our schedule. Schedule is a loose term since we had no idea the order is the areas we were going and how long we would stay there until right before he was leaving us. We also did not go to every area the trip outline in the advertisement. We spent more time in the vehicle than on ground seeing things. Tour guide was lovely and knowledgeable we all just felt cheated from the experience that was presented to us.

        Hello, Thank you for your feedback which helps us to improve. When the tour starts with delay unfortunately the guide can not make up for lost time and her main concern is the client's satisfaction. The guide is shared all the interesting facts most of the time in the vehicle in order to leave free time on each place. We will take your comments into consideration in order to remedy them. Best Reagrds!

        I'm not sure the description of this tour gives the proper documentation. The driver, Xavier, was excellent but all of his commentary was while driving the van. Once he got somewhere, he told you where to go and left.
        If you asked a question in the van or near the van, he was very helpful.
        However, the tours are really unguided.
        The first drop-off was Eze and it is a very long walk up the stairs to the top. This is not for the out of shape or anyone with mild or serious mobility issues. The driver drops you off and gives a time to rejoin.
        It is beautiful at the top and the walk is worth it if you can sustain it.
        Same thing at the perfume factory.
        Same thing in Monaco at the changing of the guard. He points and disappears.
        Likewise at the Monte Carlo casino.

        I would retitle this tour as the in the van guide who drops you off.

        There is nothing wrong with the guide or the tour but if you are used to being with a guide who is present and walks with you, this tour is not for you.
