          Old town tours outside of NICE
          Giuseppe took us on a wonderful journey to a world outside of Nice. The drive was a little scary (curvy as he would say) but that just added to the thrill. We were able to make a few photo stops and spend time in a little artsy town on a hill.

          You can’t go wrong with Alize
          Alizee was a great tour guide. We booked last moment and got the ability to customize our trip to some memorable places that she curated perfectly within the time. Also some great recommendations for food and the kids loved the French lessons. If you are willing to take a private tour, would highly recommend her.

          Fantastic Trip worth doing with Noah
          This guided tour was amazing due to the fact there were lots to see while travelling in a very comfortable and clean vehicle, for a group of 8 people, it was a perfect size! But what made this trip special is our wonderful and well spoken guide/driver Noah! He was friendly, funny and knowledgeable on the places we went to! Driving from Nice to Monaco, and all the other places around the area - Cannes, Antibes and Eze was worth the trip. Noah was patient and tried to accommodate our noisy and full of energy group.. he did very well and we commend him for that! For Noah alone .. he was 5 stars which made this trip also a 5 star!

          The driver infected me
          The driver was coughing all the way long, he was sick. One of the passengers left away in the middle of the tour, bcs of this matter. The driver wasn’t capable to explain anything more than the meeting hours. We came back to hotel and cancelled the next day tour by our reception hotel. The following morning, i got a call at my personal number and that woman was yelling at me , why didn’t I called her PERSONALLY to cancel booking!!! Besides the fact that I got infected by the driver and I would absolutely ask for refund, I had to listen to that crazy out of control person at the 7 am talking to me like that. Definitely, it is a waste of money to book this company. Also, they can threaten your health.

          French Riviera Private Tour - Highly recommend
          Fantastic tour! We visited Antibes, Saint-Paul de Vence, Cap Ferrat and Monaco/Montercalo (crossing many villages on the way) on a full day private tour. Francisco Javier (our Portuguese-Spanish speaking guide) was very kind and knowledgeable, we truly had a history class about the French Riviera. Highly recommend, we had a lovely day.

          Not much here
          This tour left us in the dark for most of the trip. We felt like we were on a ride share trip with very little information or history of the area's we visited. Too expensive for what we received.

          We had an amazing time! Smiley was an incredible tour guide!! She was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She answered all of our questions and we had a great time together. The tour itself was also great. We weren’t exactly sure where we wanted to go so we asked Smiley for her recommendations and she picked perfectly! We got to see Cannes, Gordon, Grasse, and Tourrettes-sur-Loup. Definitely book a tour with Smiley, you won’t be disappointed!

          A Successful Holiday with Smartour Riviera Support
          We were eight senior ladies on a 10-day vacation to Nice, staying at a lovely rental property halfway up the mountain to Aspremont, just north of Nice. We didn’t want to drive on the windy roads and the bus stop to the tram was a bit far for some of us to walk. The answer was Smartour Riviera (Nice). We are so happy that we discovered this tour agency. Working with Amandine was easy. She was responsive and helpful in customizing tours to the wonderful towns east and west of Nice. She also arranged reliable van service to and from the airport and to places like Ephrussi Villa and Gardens where a tour guide was not needed. Our car service drivers, Stanley and Gabriel, could not have been more polite or helpful. They were a joy. And Smiley, our tour guide, was enthusiastic and kept us on time. The weather in early October was perfect, the sights spectacular, but our successful holiday could not have happened without Smartour Riviera.

          A spectacular day in the south of France!
          My husband and I had a full day private tour, starting in Antibes, where we strolled through the market. Next we went to Grasse and had a private tour through the perfume factory. We then headed up the mountain to the small town of Gourdon, population 50! The views from above were spectacular! We then had a brief stop in Tourrettes Sur Loup for lunch. Then on to St. Paul de Vence to wander through the artist's village and then a final stop in Monaco to see the palace. Our driver FX was knowledgeable, courteous, punctual and had a great sense of humor! Super clean Mercedes Benz van. We had a fabulous day and would highly recommend this adventure.

        We took a six person tour under the guidance of FX (Francisco Xavier). The nine hour tour was fabulous. FX shared his knowledge of Nice, Monaco and Cannes. He was polite, courteous and a great guy to spend the day with. We highly recommend Smartour Riviera and FX as its guide. 👍

        This was amazing! My family for four (2 teenage boys) did this and it was one of our most favourite days in France! The spots and time spend at each spot was perfect. Our guide, I hate to admit but I forget his name but I believe it was Justin, made our experience so memorable. He was very entertaining and informative. We have such amazing pictures and memories from this tour. I highly recommend this and it was worth every penny.

        We had an amazing time on our holiday in Nice, the weather was perfect. We met our tour guide at our hotel and she was lovely. I can't remember her name, so sorry. She took us to all the main sites and she was honest about everything and gave us lots of hints and tips. I would recommend this trip to everyone. It was worth every moment. There was no way my husband and I could have done it all alone and the fact that it was all in one day we enjoyed as it gave us the rest of the holiday to enjoy the city.

        Francis Xavier is a fantastic tour guide, interesting, knowledgeable, entertaining. We never felt rushed, even though this tour covers a lot of places. The scenery and villages were beautiful. However, Viator’s description needs to tell travelers that every stop except Monaco and Cannes requires them to climb steep village streets. I called Viator before booking this tour and explained that I am disabled, I can walk, but I cannot climb uphill. Viator incorrectly told me that there is walking but no climbing uphill.

        I guess we were there in the midst of their vacation period of summer. It was very crowded and felt like we were all herded around like cattle as you see crowds and crowds of people. It was hard to leisurely stroll and take in the essence of being in Monte Carlo or to have time to sit in the lobby of the grand Casino. There were lines for the restrooms, lines to take photos, lines to get into buildings, lines to get out of buildings! Hectic! Well, I guess this is how they prosper with the visitors from the cruise ships being bus loaded in and overcrowding the streets with taxis and traffic everywhere!

        Indeed July and August are the 2 busiest months of the year on the Riviera If you enjoy tranquility and warmer temperatures, enjoy your stay between September and April Unfortunately we are not responsible for the attendance rate of the period you have chosen to stay but we try to offer the same quality of visit all year long

        We signed up for this tour because we wanted to visit Monaco AND the rest of the sites on this tour sounded interesting. We did enjoy Monaco although our tour guides' historical knowledge was twisted and inaccurate. IE, the Grimaldis of Monaco came from Genoa Italy but were not Italian (not true, they were Italian); Rome was under French control until 1871 (not true, it was part of the Papal States and under the control of the Vatican). Oh, well. Our driver (I think his name was Leo) dropped us off in Monaco and met us an hour later. We enjoyed walking to the palace and seeing the church where Princess Grace was wed. Back in the van we were driven to Eze, and a perfume factory. Including this sham in the tour is downright stupid. The six Americans on the tour refused to go in while the two Argentines took the tour. After this the driver took us to a hill at the base of Eze and gave us twenty minutes to walk to the top, look around and walk back down. Once again, only the Argentines complied. We returned to Nice where the other four Americans left the tour, and after an hour for lunch on our own, we rejoined Leo with the Argentines to drive to Cannes and Antibes. Driver Leo apparently liked speaking Spanish more than English and gabbed constantly in Spanish to the Argentine couple while we sat isolated in the back of the van. Once again he dropped us off in Cannes, gave us a two minute narrative on the film festival then met us an hour later. We drove through Antibes and its supposed billion dollar yachts but we didn't follow the Spanish narrative. From there we went to Saint Paul de Vence where we were given a brief overview of its history then sent into the town on our own for an hour. It's a neat little town on the top of a hill with a beautiful view of the countryside. The historical nature of the town is lost in all of the commercial ventures that occupy it. It felt more like a Disney land shopping area than a historic French village. I wish I had researched a way to do this on our own.

        Bonjour et merci pour votre charmant commentaire , je pense qu'effectivement il aurait était preferable pour vous d organiser votre visite de la region de Nice par vous meme , comme vous le suggérez en fin de commentaire , votre commentaire est méchant et rabaissant pour Léo qui a mis tous son coeur et son professionnalisme à effectuer cette visite et vous acompagner et si vous avez été aussi gentil durant votre journée il ne faut pas vous étonner qu il se soit raccrocher au couple d Argentin qui eux étaient peut être moins arrogant et prétentieux que vous pouvez l'être. la parfumerie Fragonard n est pas une obligation , vous avez d ailleurs choisi de ne pas la faire et critiquer ce pauvre couple qui a voulu la visiter en disant que c est stupide c'est absolument impolie de votre part . dire que st Paul de Vence est un "disneyLand " est carrément insultant de la part d un étranger . ce village est un village d artiste peintre depuis plus d un siècle !!! chacal ,Picasso, Matisse et bien d autres y sont venus pour la beauté de son architecture , sa lumière exceptionnelle et sa vue époustouflante, là ou vous n y avez vu que des boutiques de Disneyland comme vous dites d autres y voient : de l'ART , car encore aujourd'hui les plus grands artistes français s y exposent ... autre chose que des mickey et Donald non ?? enfin sachez que nous mettons tout en oeuvre pour travailler dans la bonne humeur et le partage avec toute la passion qui est la notre pour cette profession , et nous passons bien volontiers des personnes qui pensent mieux connaitre notre pays que nos guides et qui donnent des leçons sur tout et tout le monde , un conseil lors de votre prochain voyages ne vous mélangez pas à la population locale et je dirais meme mieux aux autres touristes, car si on a le malheur de parler espagnol vous ne le supportez pas et ce malgré les efforts du guide pour vous faire passer une bonne journée Amandine & Anthony

        We were a group of 10 and struggled to find a van/minibus that would fit all of us, and we had very specific plans of what we wanted to do. We came across Smartour and they were perfect and accommodated us and all of our questions, with many different plan changes on our part. We asked for special trips, and Tony, our driver and tour guide, did exactly as we wanted to do. He even changed are the size of our van on one of the days and switched our destination day of upon request when the weather wasn't great. Tony was so knowledgeable, kind, and helpful, and I would recommend him to everyone. We had an amazing two days, visiting the Gorges du Verdon, Eze, Monaco, Monte-Carlo, and Menton. I highly recommend Smartour, as we had an incredible experience. Worth every euro.

        A great option for people that really want to meet the best of the French Riviera. I recommend it to couples, families and everyone that want to meet the greatest places around Nice. Anthony, our guide, was incredibly kind and explained us a lot of details of every place we´ve visited. Great experience even in the winter!
