ニース発ニース・エズとモナコ終日ツアー

Albano Made Our Last Day in France Unforgettable! We had one final day in Nice after a weeklong vacation in France, and I wanted to use it to explore a little more of the French Riviera. I found this tour on Viator and thought the itinerary offered a great opportunity to see several different areas in one day. I booked it for myself and my traveling partner, and I am so glad I did! Our guide, Albano Merna, reached out the evening before our tour to ask where we were staying and offered to pick us up directly from our hotel. I initially missed his message, so he went the extra step of contacting me using the number on my Viator reservation, which prompted me to check the app and connect with him. I was so pleasantly surprised to learn that he would pick us up at our hotel. This was especially appreciated because there were leg injuries in our little two-person group that made additional walking more challenging. Sure enough, Albano was waiting for us promptly at 9:00 a.m., exactly as promised, and we were off! Because we chose the earlier tour, we were able to get ahead of much of the traffic and many of the crowds. Throughout the day, Albano shared a tremendous amount of information about the places we were seeing. He explained the history and architecture of the region, pointed out the differences between older historic buildings and newer development, and even explained some of the restrictions involved in preserving historic properties. He was incredibly knowledgeable, but just as importantly, he was friendly and made everything interesting and easy to understand. We traveled through Èze and Monaco, visited the Prince’s Palace area and the beautiful cathedral, drove through Monaco’s impressive tunnels, and continued into Monte Carlo. Albano accompanied us through many of the sights and gave us wonderful historical context along the way. At the Casino de Monte-Carlo, he even escorted us into the lobby and explained its history. One of the biggest surprises was that we had expected to be touring with a larger group, but it ended up being just the two of us with Albano. It made the experience incredibly personalized. Instead of simply hearing a rehearsed tour, we were able to have real conversations and ask questions throughout the day. We learned not only about French and Monégasque history and architecture, but also about transportation and what everyday life and work are like in France. Those conversations were some of my favorite parts of the entire experience. We finished at the Fragonard perfume factory, where Albano arranged for us to take a tour inside. We learned how perfume is made, how essential oils and fragrances are extracted from flowers, and how they are incorporated into perfumes, soaps, lotions and other products. It was a wonderful way to finish the sightseeing portion of our day. Afterward, Albano drove us directly back to our hotel, which again was especially helpful given the mobility issues in our group. The tour is listed at approximately five and a half hours, which was about right for us, but the time absolutely flew by. Albano was prompt, kind, knowledgeable, accommodating and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. What could have simply been a sightseeing tour became one of the highlights of our trip and a fantastic way to spend our final day in France. I would 100% recommend this tour, and especially Albano. If you have the opportunity to tour the French Riviera with him, do it. It was absolutely worth it!

Albano was amazing, he went above and beyond. He made local recommendations for dinners and they were great. Very personal and helpful. Would recommend him to anyone! He was very knowledgeable of the region, communication before and after the tour were great!

Albano went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a wonderful experience.

Our tour guide was prompt, professional, courteous, and very informative. Had a fantastic time ! Abano was awesome!

Anisa was an incredible tour guide! She knew all the ins and outs of Nice, Monaco, and Exec. Her knowledge of the places we went to and her ease with communicating it to us was rare in our previous experiences. I highly recommend booking with her if you can.

Anisa did an outstanding job showing us beautiful Monte Carlo , Monaco, Nice and Eze! Her knowledge and conversation made it seem like we were traveling with a friend we had known for a long time! She gave us her all with numerous attempts to get us to a beach, recommendations for restaurants and shops! Thankyou Anisa!

I came to Nice on my honeymoon and we wanted a really special experience while here. We decided to look into tours on this site and after reviewing the different available tours for Monaco, I decided on this one because of all the positive reviews about the tour guide, Albano. TLDR: He lives up to his reputation and we had an incredible time. He reached out several days in advance through what's app to coordinate and I really appreciated his communication and effort to make our meet up seamless. Once picked up the experience was flawless and he really knows his stuff. The pace of the tour was just right. His English is great and he's very thoughtful and friendly. I am so grateful that I chose this tour. Its a memory that we will cherish forever and I cant Thank Albano enough for the experience. -Alex and Adrianna
