Step into the medieval village of Eze and get ready for a journey that is totally epic! The cobbled streets and jaw-dropping views make you feel like you have jumped right into a history book. This place is famous, and when you are walking around, you will see why - every corner has a story that is cooler than your favorite movie. If you are up for a bit more adventure, we can check out the Exotic Gardens. It is an extra hour, and it's packed with the most amazing plants! The views from there? You won't believe your eyes; it is that awesome. Plus, there is the chance to chill out at the super fancy La Chèvre d’Or hotel. Imagine taking a break and feeling all fancy while you gaze out at the glittering sea. We can make some memories that'll be the envy of everyone back home for the cost of an extra hour! If you want to visit the Exotic Gardens : admission fee of 8€ / person.
2.
In the charming village of Eze, we will explore the fascinating Fragonard Perfume Factory. An expert guide will lead us on a captivating journey to discover the secrets of scent creation. As we immerse ourselves in this aromatic adventure, we will learn about the unique role of a 'nose' - the term affectionately used for perfume creators. With a collection of fragrances to sample, we will engage in a playful challenge, attempting to match each scent with its corresponding plant or spice. It s a delightful sensory experience, equally educational and entertaining! Unveiling the history behind perfume production in this region adds an extra layer of intrigue to our visit. It's a chance to appreciate Eze not only for its history but also as a cradle of olfactory artistry. This experience is sure to leave a lasting impression, offering a glimpse into the timeless elegance that infuses every bottle.
3. Vieux La Turbie
As we drive through the village of La Turbie, keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of the ancient world – the majestic statue of Emperor Augustus, also known as the Trophy of the Alps. Erected by the Romans in 6 B.C., this grand monument has stood the test of time, marking the skies from the soaring heights of the Great Corniche. While we won't be stopping here, you will still feel the grandeur and the history it represents as it comes into view. I will share with you the fascinating story behind its creation, unraveling the purpose of this impressive tribute to Imperial Rome. As we continue our journey, the statue serves as a silent guardian of history, watching over the Riviera with a story that echoes through the ages.
4. Palais Princier de Monaco
Gaze upon the Prince's Palace of Monaco, perched on a rock jutting into the sea. This regal home, with its storied past stands as the jewel of the Principality of Monaco. Although we won't be stepping inside its luxurious halls, which are open to visitors from April to October for those who wish to explore its opulent interiors, there's still much to admire from the outside. Every day at 11:55 am, a tradition unfolds before your eyes: the Changing of the Guards. While you absorb the magnificence of the palace and the ceremonial event, I will share tales of its history and the royalty who have called it home. The palace not only encapsulates the essence of Monaco's luxury but also stands as a living piece of history that continues to enchant and captivate those who come to see its wonders.
5. Cathedrale Notre-Dame-Immaculee
This architectural marvel isn't just a feast for the eyes; it holds stories of a timeless romance that captured the world's attention. It is here that the beloved Princess Grace Kelly rests, her final chapter etched in the heart of Monaco. As we approach this sacred site, the air seems to hold a whisper of the past, where a Hollywood star became a princess in a real-life fairy tale. You won't just see the place where she is buried; you will feel the legacy of her grace and the love she inspired that continues to linger over the principality. Standing before the cathedral will give you a moment to reflect on the life of a woman who was an icon of her era, a cherished princess, and to this day, a symbol of timeless elegance.
6. Casino of Monte-Carlo
Imagine cruising along the same streets that transform into the legendary Monaco Grand Prix circuit. We can feel the pulse of excitement that fills the air during the world's most prestigious racing event. We will follow the track at a leisurely pace, passing the iconic start-finish line, gliding through the renowned tunnel, and rounding the famous Fairmont hairpin turn. Afterward, prepare to be dazzled as we enter the opulent heart of Monte Carlo. The grandeur of the Casino Square unveils itself, where the world’s most famous casino, the Casino Monte-Carlo, stands as a monument to elegance and excitement. Luxury boutiques, world-class restaurants, and extravagant hotels. This is where luxury lives, breathes, and plays. Get ready to be swept up in the glamour that makes Monaco a playground for the rich and famous.
7. Office de Tourisme de Saint-Paul de Vence
Step into the cobblestone charm of Saint Paul de Vence, a village where art breathes life into every corner. This medieval treasure has been the muse for art legends like Picasso, Matisse, and Chagall. Imagine wandering the same narrow alleys they once roamed, seeking inspiration around this city of art. The quaint, yet illustrious Colombe d'Or inn is a story in itself, having hosted these icons of art. Today, it's like a live-in gallery, adorned with their original works, a testament to the village's rich artistic heritage. Saint Paul de Vence is not just a walk through history; it's a stroll through a living canvas, awash with dazzling landscapes that continue to inspire. It’s a must-see for anyone wanting to touch the essence of French artistic legacy.
8. Marche provencal
Antibes is like a storybook come to life, a quaint village where every street and stone whispers legends of the past. Wander through the vibrant Provencal market, where the colors and scents of fresh, local delicacies — from juicy berries to exotic fruits — tantalize your senses (market open every morning, closed on monday). Gaze up at the formidable Fort Carré, a 16th-century fortress, engineered to withstand the fiercest of attacks by the ingenious Marshal Vauban, whose name now graces the nearby port. Speaking of the port, Port de Vauban isn't just any harbor; it's a playground for the world's wealthiest, a place where luxurious yachts claim their berths like floating palaces. Antibes marries historical intrigue with opulent modernity — a place where every visit feels like you've stepped into a page of history while being firmly planted in the lap of luxury.
9. Musee Picasso
In Antibes stands the grand Grimaldi Castle, a place that once played host to the legendary artist Pablo Picasso. For a few magical months in 1946, Picasso called this castle his studio, where he channelled the Mediterranean’s light and charm into his masterpieces. Though we won’t step inside, the castle’s very walls seem to hold echoes of his genius. Today, it's known as the Picasso Museum, a testament to the time when Picasso infused the ancient stones with his revolutionary vision. Just being here, in the presence of his creative aura, is to touch a piece of art history.
10. Le Sentier du Littoral, Cap d'Antibes
Nestled between Antibes and Juan Les Pins is the enchanting Cap d'Antibes, a spot so beautiful that it even captured the heart of the great American writer Fitzgerald. Stretching out into the sea for over 4 kilometers, it’s a slice of paradise lined with luxury villas, whispering tales of a tranquil life by the sparkling waters. Here, the beaches are postcard-perfect, and the hotels are the stuff of dreams, each one promising five-star luxury. It’s no wonder this place has earned itself the glamorous nickname "Billionaires Bay." Every view feels like it's straight out of a storybook, inviting you to be part of its timeless narrative.
11. Promenade des Anglais
Drive along the famous Promenade des Anglais, Nice's glittering crown jewel that stretches a magnificent 4 miles from the airport all the way to the port. This iconic seaside avenue is your front-row seat to the most celebrated beach in the Mediterranean, where the turquoise waves dance and play. It's where the charm of Nice unfolds, inviting you to join its rhythm and bask in the endless stretch of coastal allure.

Mago discussed with me about my interests and preferences via email, then quickly proposed an itinerary. We finalized the itinerary when we met on the tour day. Mago is very understanding and thoughtful, extremely professional and knowledgeable. We visited Nice old town, Eze and Monaco, a lot of history, interesting stories, beautiful photos… a wonderful day! I turned out to book the next day with Mago to see some authentic French Riviera villages. Great guide, great tours, look no further.

What a magnificent tour and we can't say enough about our exceptional tour guide, Mago.
He made our time in southern France so special and took us to these little towns and villages that weren't particularly on our radar.
This full day tour covered many places...but we never felt rushed.
Mago is such a delight, full of facts and knowledge. It made such a difference to have someone guiding our group that has a genuine passion and love of his profession.
We will absolutely cherish our memories made with him that beautiful day!
Thank you Mago and Merry Christmas! ( A funny inside joke shared among our group:))
We hope to see you again in our future travels to France!

This was our first day in the French Riviera and Mago made it incredibly memorable. His passion for the area, and knowledge of its culture and history, really made the tour. Mago was fun, engaging and sensitive to how we wanted to tailor the day. This tour ran the gamut from incredible views of Nice (with a wonderful historical overview), to a magical stroll through (up!) medieval Eze, which was punctuated by a drink atop a cliff with the magnificent sweep of the Mediterranean below, to a run romp through Monaco and visit to Monte Carlo. Highly recommend Mago for any tour!

We were so happy with the entire tour experience Mago provided. Not only was Mago very knowledgeable in the historical elements to the tour he also went above and beyond with where we visited. He was able to create such a memorable experience for my husband and I who opted to book a private tour to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The restaurant he chose for us was absolutely breathtaking and the views where we could take photos turned out beautifully. We truly appreciated every moment of the tour and recommend it to anyone who really would love to enjoy the French Riviera!
