My tour guide Jenny was such a huge help and made touring times very flexible...she was very knowledgeable and knew all the good places to go! Would definitely love to go! Thanks for the wondeful gift for my daughter too🤗
Outstanding cultural and historic presentation with excellent supporting visuals. Our guide was helpful with our mobility concerns and arranging transportation.
Jenny is an amazing, friendly and informative guide. Her tour was fun and she customised the tour according to our needs. We learned a lot of the history and how come Monaco is a separate country! We had coffee in tge famous casino! Plenty of breaks and see all there is to see! Her restaurant recommendation served an excellent lunch and the visit to the aquarium and oceanic museum was excellent after the tour! Plan to see it! Thank you Jenny, it was a great tour!
Take it from someone who books a lot of tours annually, Jenny was simply the BEST. Monaco was a childhood dream - special - and we didn't have much time, so we wanted our tour to be equally special. After much research, we chose this tour. So glad we did! Intimate, small, detailed, punctual, humorous, kind, attentive, brilliantly well versed in so much - Jenny brings it all. She is particularly well versed in all stories Grace Kelly (their first date!) and in anecdotal memorable stories about art, architecture, sights, F 1, and stunning vistas that bring Monaco to LIFE. If you want a tour that truly makes you feel as if you are with a friend/ extended family member helping bring the country of Monaco alive, this is your tour. Worked so well for a family -even with a tired, cranky tween - that they all wanna go again! Jenny, we thank you so much for taking the time and making it so special. A birthday I'll always remember :).
This was easily the best tour of our entire trip! Jenny was a fabulous guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, made the tour interactive, and answered all of our questions with ease and kindness. She provided water on a very, very hot day, treated us to gelato from a local vendor, and even had a sweet surprise that we won't spoil. She was also fantastic when it came to recommendations for post-tour activities, whether that was visiting the Oceanographic Museum or grabbing lunch at a local restaurant. Apart from her expertise as a guide, she is simply one of the sweetest people you'll meet. She was genuinely interested in our lives and made conversation with us on the way to each stop on the tour. She even made sure to take photos of us throughout the tour so we wouldn't miss any opportunities to capture memories. She truly went above and beyond to make our experience special. We highly recommend this tour if you want to see all of the highlights of Monaco. We really feel like we got the most out of our visit, and it made us want to come back even more. Book this tour!
Excellent guide. She had a deep knowledge of the area, history and all attractions. Very friendly and nice guide. Took time to explain everything and showed some secret spots. I highly recommend
Jenny was an outstanding guide. Her knowledge and passion for Monaco and her home made for a memorable day. I would highly recommend as she guided us through many sites and areas for the day which would have been more challenging to determine on our own. On another side note she went above and beyond by helping us navigate getting back to Nice since the trains were down. She helped obtain a taxi for a group of 7 and waited with us until its arrival. Thank you Jenny
We had a wonderful time. Jenny was a fantastic tour guide. She was thorough and knowledgeable and kept a pace that was comfortable for our group. We especially enjoyed the gelato break. We would highly recommend this tour.
Jenny was the most fabulous tour guide. Our group was limited to 5 people which was so enjoyable to not fight a crowd to hear or keep up with the guide after a week of cruise ship excursions. She was very attentive, answered all our questions, took time to take our pictures in beautiful areas, made a personal connection with us, and went above and beyond. She provided us with water, bus ride tickets to avoid a steep stair walk, and even treated us to gelato. Her English was superb and easy to communicate with. At the end she even offered to escort us back to the train we took to return to the port for our ship. I can only say I am glad this was our last tour as she set the bar so high no one could meet her service again. I highly recommend her EXCELLENT tour as she takes great pride in her job and wants to make sure each person has a great experience. I was greatly impressed. I wish I could hire her for every tour I take in the future. OUTSTANDING job!!!!!!
Jenny had wonderful energy and was very good to help make sure we had frequent rest for our friend with walking difficulties. Her stories were well spoken and we loved the customized tour. She went above and beyond and even took extra time to walk us to the train and help us get tickets. She is the best of the best!
