Cannes Shore Excursion: Private Day Trip to Monaco and Eze
Description
For cruise passengers arriving in Cannes with only a single day to see the French Riviera, this privately guided, fully narrated shore excursion to Monaco and Eze is a fantastic option. At the bend of a cliff road you'll discover a charming hilltop village: Eze, such as an eagle nest with a breathtaking view. Afterward you'll awake your senses through the guided tour of a perfumery, true essence of Provence. Follow your trip toward the Principality of Monaco that will reveal you the charm of the old town, crowned by the Prince's Palace, the Majestic Cathedral as well as the outstanding Oceanographic Museum. The amazing lap of Formula 1 track will lift the veil on the high precision of the "Grand Prix" pilot’s skills. Then discover the legendary square of Monte Carlo, amuse yourselves around fancy cars, chic casinos or simply watch the city walk by from the renowned Café de Paris..

Unfortunately, we were not able to port in Cannes, France due to the French Navy doing drilling exercises. Viator's guide was not able to go to the port either. We learned this less than the 24 hours that was necessary to get a refund. The most frustrating part is that the Viator guide would not have been able to fulfill this tour either as the port was closed and he could not pick us up. I contacted the Viator guide immediately to let them know this. The guide had already learned the port was closed so never even left his home to pick us up. I tried to dispute us not getting refunded for this tour and was denied our requests even after reaching out to Viator superiors. I don't think this was professional as none of us were able to connect due to the port closure. Very disappointed in how this was handled. We were charged $921.80 for no service.
Dear Sandra, It is very unfortunate that you had such an experience with us. We were looking forward to seeing you then! We understand your frustrations in this unconvinced situation. The cancellation policy is written under the product description; where you can read about: - cancellations made less than 24 hours before the experience’s start time, will not be refunded; - Any changes made less than 24 hours before the experience’s start time will not be accepted. Please note that we do everything in our capacity to give our guests the best experience. We hope to get the opportunity to give you a better tour day as well. Tour Azur Team
Cannes and Monte Carlo are beautiful. Itchy the tour guide was great…but that’s where the good stops. We spent $940 on an 8hr tour and only got 6.5hrs. Requested a partial refund for lost 1.5hrs and was told no…even with escalation to Viator management (supposedly). Terrible business ethics!
Dear Scott, Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent tour. We would like to clarify the situation in detail. At the time of your tour, a military exercise took place, which unfortunately prevented the boat from disembarking as originally planned. This event was entirely beyond our control, and we were only informed about it approximately one hour before the scheduled departure. Because of this late notification, we were unable to adjust plans earlier. Please note that the tour was indeed scheduled and carried out as best as possible under the circumstances. Our driver was already present at the port to pick you up and had other appointments later in the day. Despite this, he waited for more than two hours to accommodate you. Due to this unforeseen event, which was independent of our will, we are unable to offer a refund related to the disruption. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you again in the future under better conditions. Tour Azur Team

We loved our time with David. He was so fun to be with. He told us all about the history of the region and took us to really interesting spots. He was also able to customize our tour to accommodate our pre booked lunch in Monaco. He’s informative but above all really nice to spend time with. We hope to see him again on a future tour. Thank you David 🙏😊

Dear Palak_S, Tour Azur thank you for your review and are pleased that you enjoyed the tour so much. Sincerely, Tour Azur
We booked a private tour from Cannes to Monaco and E'ze. Adreienne was our driver and we absolutely LOVED her. She was flexible to make sure we spent time where we wanted, and she even spent some time going up Eze with us. She is happy to give time on your own or spend time with you. She is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with. I felt bad that I wasn't feeling 100% but she made everything comfortable for me. Highly recommend this tour!
both Tour Azur and your guide Adrienn are delighted to read your review and are pleased that you enjoyed the tour so much, even if you weren't feeling 100%. Sincerely, Tour Azur
