You would admire the famous Casino square in the best conditions, spending the time you need to shoot properly the elegant Monte Carlo's Casino with Garnier's Opera just behind, but also Hotel de Paris luxurious facade, Café de Paris terrace, Hermitage beautiful hotel...The time we could spend there could be longer considering if you fancy doing some shopping
Just in time to admire the Changing of the Guard at the Prince’s Palace square at 11:55am, on the top of what we call « The Roc ».

Passing by the luxurious Hercule's Harbour yachts in Monaco, we will drive the same streets the Monac's Formula One takes place every year - one of the world's most prestigious racing event.
Perched high above the Mediterranean Sea, the medieval provencal village of Èze is one of the most enchanting stops on the French Riviera. With its narrow, cobbled streets, stone houses, and panoramic views, Èze feels like stepping back in time. During your visit, you’ll have time to explore the village’s artisan boutiques, admire its charming architecture, and enjoy sweeping views from the Exotic Garden, which sits at the highest point of the village.

As we'll drive along the spectacular Middle Corniche road, get ready for one of the most iconic views on the French Riviera.

Romy was very nice and personable. She actually did a tour of Saint Tropez for us and it was fun. I would’ve liked even more history than she gave but all in all it was a very fun tour!
Hello dear Melissa, Thank you very much for your review and for booking my tour. I truly appreciate your feedback. I understand that you would have liked to hear more about the history of the South of France. With a 1h30 tour, it can unfortunately be difficult to cover all the rich history and cultural heritage of the region in depth. Saint-Tropez may seem like a small village, but there is so much to discover in the surrounding areas as well. I would be delighted to welcome you again for a longer experience next time, so you can fully enjoy the fascinating history, traditions, and hidden treasures of our beautiful region. Take care, Romy
Monaco has no more secrets for us... shopping, museums, casino... I was even very lucky this time .to do again with my wife and with this experienced graduate guide
Culture, art, gastronomy, perfumes, panoramic Corniche route... We will always remember this day and for us Romy is definitely an exceptional guide, to which we remain faithful. Our teenagers and grandchildren were delighted with this day under the sign of the sun and the good mood with discovery in addition! A huge thank you!

We were travelling through Europe with our two kids and we were very lucky to find this tour guide. Romy is an incredibly enjoyable, helpful, professional and efficient person! Thanks to her, we discovered so many hidden gems, far from the crowds and away from mass tourism. Thank you so much Romy!
While visiting Cannes with my family from a cruise ship, we truly enjoyed our time with Romy Jay, who was exceptionally attentive. We visites Monaco, and the children were very happy exploring museums there, including the Prince’s car collection museum. Afterwards, we went to Èze, where we discovered an amazing terrace with breathtaking views. We highly recommend this very professinal guide
Romy exceeded all our expectations. She anticipated everything and even took care of the restaurant reservation. We ended up dining at a place we would never have discovered on our own. Her commentary on the French Riviera was incredibly interesting and engaging. We’ll definitely be back and will book more tours with her! A heartfelt thank you!
