2.Monaco & Eze Small-Group Day Trip with Perfumery Visit from Nice

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 847 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $135

Ride from Nice in a comfortable eight-seat Mercedes minivan, stopping at hilltop Eze, the Fragonard perfume factory, Monaco-Ville, and Monte Carlo. Your English-speaking driver-guide, such as Ian, Noé, Francesca, or Thierry, combines local stories with free time to explore.

“Unfortunately I felt this trip was a waste of a day. Eze was beautiful but there’s not much going on there. Monaco was not worth sitting in traffic to get there. Each stop gave you enough time to walk around a little bit, but it was not enough time to sit for a meal. I’ve been on a lot of day trips all over Europe and this was one of the worst. Our driver, David, has a good personality and was a very good driver. I recommend him, but not this tour.”

We also had the chance to get some quick photos at scenic points. The perfume factory was more interesting than we expected it to be. Our guide Dennis was great and maintained communication prior to the trip and during the trip to make sure everything was seamless. Vehicle was clean and new.”

His knowledge was incredible and he told us many fascinating things . A microphone would have been good as I sat in the back seat and found it hard to hear. I loved the last experience which he said was the cherry on top. Thanks Sebastian I would come and visit this area again just to do another trip with you . 10/10 thank you”

“I was happy to see a few locations that would have been a bit difficult to get to without a car. The transportation was a Mercedes van which was nice and there were only 4 of us on the tour so we had space. It was air conditioned which was a necessity in the summer heat. We did the Fragonard tour in Eze which is nice if you haven’t done it yet (we did it in Grasse so it was a repeat for us). You get less than an hour in each location and we only had 20 minutes in Monte Carlo. I think there are longer tours if you…”
