Honeymoon in the French Riviera

My wife and I honeymooned in Cannes. Jaoued picked us up from our hotel and brought us Saint-Tropez. He was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly and adjusted the trip to best fit us. Highly recommend.

Amazing day in France

We had a great day in Eze and Monte Carlo and Monaco! Jaoued our driver was amazing. He took us to gorgeous viewpoints, led us around Eze and got us skip the line passes to the botanical garden, a reservation at a restaurant that we couldn't secure ourselves, and a private tour of the Fragonard factory. We took a lot of photos and had a great time. We will definitely be using this tour company again! Thank you for a memorable day!

Operator response

He truly enjoys creating special moments for our guests, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We're so happy to have been part of your memorable day and can’t wait to welcome you again on your next visit! Warm regards,

Time poor… pick this tour!! Get to see plenty in a day!!!

Having the luxury of your own private tour was amazing and worth every cent. Our driver Ben was excellent !! We stopped at several locations with free time , however Ben gave us suggestions of where or what to do to make the most of our time. He was very knowledgeable and accomodating… made the trip to Monarco a highlight for my son who is a Grande Prix fanatic.. we’d highly recommend this tour, especially if you’re time poor like us ( 1 day there as a port stop from our cruise ship) .

Operator response

Hello, Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We’re delighted to hear that your private tour with Ben exceeded your expectations and made your day in Monaco truly special — especially for your son, the Grand Prix fanatic! Ben’s knowledge and accommodating nature help create memorable experiences, and we’re glad you found his suggestions helpful. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again soon, whether on another cruise stop or for a longer visit! Best regards,

Amazing day trip with Jaoued

We had the absolute pleasure of spending a full day touring the French Riviera with Jaoued, and it was truly the highlight of our trip. From the moment we met him, Jaoued was warm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. His passion for the region was clear in every story he told and every stop he chose for us. Throughout the day, Jaoued took us to stunning locations along the coast—from the glitz and glamour of Monaco to the charming streets of Èze. He shared rich historical insights, fun anecdotes, and personal tips that made the experience feel unique and tailored just for us. It never felt rushed, he gave us plenty of time to explore, take photos, and soak in the atmosphere at each location. What really stood out was Jaoued’s attention to detail and his genuine care for our experience. He was not only a guide, but a gracious host and a fantastic driver, navigating the scenic coastal roads with ease and making us feel completely comfortable throughout the day. The Setton Family gives Jaoued 5 stars!!!

Great tour and experience!

We had such a great time. We had 3 vans and a group of 17, with kids ranging from 12 to 24. Everyone had a fantastic time. We started in Eze and made our way to Monaco/Monte Carlo. The guides were amazing and very accommodating with our large group. I highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful overview of the French Rivieria! Ben was great!

Ben was phenomenal.. very energetic, curious and well versed. We would highly recommend. We had 8 people which included 3 children… he went out of his way to pick us up and make everything super convenient. He has a love and passion for the area as he is from Nice. His English is perfect!

Private day tour from cruise

Terrific day touring Eze, Monaco and Nice! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a private shore excursion. A bit more expensive than what you might pay for an excursion from the ship but well worth the money for the private van and guide!

Operator response

Bonjour, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Part of our success is due to your involvement and feedback and we are most grateful. We are really pleased to know that you enjoyed your day, and your words about our beautiful area/region. Have a good day :)
