Our amazing tour of the French Riviera with driver Raj.
from Pat & Gail G., New Jersey, USA
My husband and I recently traveled to the French Riveria for vacation September 3rd though September 13th 2026. Our driver, and tour guide, Raj was a huge part of making our vacation such a positive and enjoyable experience. He drove us on multiple occasions during our 10-day trip in the cities of Cannes, Nice and Monte Carlo. On one of the days during our stay in Nice, Raj gave us a full day private tour taking us to multiple surrounding towns including Eze, Saint Paul de Vence and Antibes. While walking with us, he provided us with much information, history and culture of these towns which made the experience much more enjoyable. Then, during our trip from Nice to Monte Carlo, Raj took us on a 3 hour stop in the beautiful city of Villefrance Sur Mer. He walked with us through many of the beautiful parts of the city. Even upon my husband’s request, Raj took us to see the villa Nellcote in Villefrance Sur Mer, which is where the Rolling Stones stayed when they recorded their album “Exile on Main Street”. He also stopped at several scenic overlooks giving us spectacular views of Nice, Villefranche Sur Mae and even St. Jean Cap Ferrat. He also acted as our photographer while my husband and I posed, giving us collection of fabulous pictures of our trip. Raj was always immaculately dressed, incredibly friendly, polite and was able to coordinate our multi stop schedule without difficulty. He also gave us recommendations for restaurants, stores and places to see. His car was beautiful and we always felt safe and comfortable with his driving. Our vacation was amazing. We were fortunate to had had Raj as our driver and would recommend travelers to ask for him. Thank you, Raj.

We are especially happy to hear that you appreciated Raj’s knowledge of the history and culture of each place, as well as his flexibility in creating a personalized experience around your interests.

Beautiful sights, excellent customer service, and a cool ride!
Raj showed up promptly and courteously and went over our original plans for the day. He provided options and his recommendations, along with an approximate timeline for everything. He's amenable to suggestions, so make sure you let him know what you want to do, even if one stop is simply finding a restaurant at one of the stops for a meal and a drink.
We saw stunning sights in Nice, Monaco, Villefranche-sur-Mer, and Antibes, with Raj providing personal favourites, which included some stunning views. He's an excellent driver and was persistent in ensuring that we reached all the destinations we set out to visit.
The cost was reasonable, and Raj wasn't shy about keeping the van comfortable and cool through our travels during a heat wave. He was also thoughtful by providing water for all seven of us.
We recommend Raj's services and the tour! Thank you, Raj!

Plan your free time
The Best of Riviera tour was great. To get the most value, ask ahead of time where and how long your free time may be in each location. We did not, and probably could have focused more on what we wanted to see instead of just wandering around. Overall we enjoyed the trip, guide, and transportation. The only thing we weren't expecting was that our tour included both people paying for a half day excursion and the full day tour. As a result, the transportation took us back to the hotel where we had to drop off the half day tour guests, which resulted in more travel time in the van.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your thoughtful feedback! I’m really glad you enjoyed the tour, the guide, and the transportation. That’s a great point about confirming free time in advance, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future guests. I also wanted to let you know that starting next year, the full-day tours will no longer be offered—there will only be half-day tours, which will help better organize free time and avoid extra travel time. I really appreciate you sharing this—it’s super helpful. If there’s anything else you need or want to discuss, I’m here!

French Riveria tour
We had an amazing full-day French Riviera group tour and couldn't be happier with the experience. Our chauffeur and tour guide, Raj, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and made every stop interesting and enjoyable. He also took fantastic photos for us throughout the day, which was a wonderful bonus. We truly felt that we got far more than we paid for, and the entire tour exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the French Riviera!
