Our day trip to Eze and Monaco began on time and we had a smaller group of only 4 travelers which was nice to have more space in the minivan. We began our trip to the Fragonard perfumery in Eze and since we had already visited the day prior on another tour in Grasse, our guide was very accommodating to our request to start our exploration of Eze earlier. The guide dropped off the other party at the perfumery and gave us a lift to the starting point to explore Eze. Eze was just wonderful to see and experience. We had an ample time of 1.5 hr to explore the place, buy a few jams from the Essence of Eze (highly recommend), and get great photos. It is a small village commune so you can see everything by foot in less than 2 hours. Monaco was incredible. We saw the changing of guards, Oceanography museum (separate tix cost), botanical gardens, did a lap around the Grand Prix race track, and visited Monte Carlo. Everything was amazing. Great tour guide as well!

The excursion was as described via the viewpoint to Eze and then Monaco with changing of the guard. After Eze was the tour of the perfume factory, which ended in an unassuming sales event. If you have mobility problems, you should at least save Eze. It's steep uphill and downhill everywhere.

This was amazing! Our guide picked us up from our AirBnB and we had a private tour of Provence. We visited several villages & towns and our guide made sure we had plenty of time at each. We learned so much from our guide!

Really lovely. I’ve been before on a similar trip. But was sharing with my friend. My goodness our rep went out of his way to stop for the best photo. And was so knowledgable. I learnt something new!

Parfait gave us a wonderful day, was very persistent, knowledgeable about the area, helpful and fulfilled all our wishes... Thank you...
