Monaco & Eze: Private Riviera Glamour & Medieval Views

Don’t even hesitate to book this tour with Mago - he was the absolute best. Funny, friendly, and remarkably engaging with everyone in the group. Kept all of our attention, even some of us that were still battling jet lag. We loved all the stories and the way he presented the history, and the flow of information. You can definitely tell that he’s mastered this over many years. If and when we come back, we will just want to book Mago to take us everywhere!

We had a great experience with Mago. The tour was both educational and fun! We really enjoyed it. I will definitely book with Mago again when in the French Riviera!

Mago is a fabulous guide. He understands and can communicate in English the historical context of what we are seeing—he can tell you why things appear the way they do, and he can tell you in an interesting, engaging way. He is also fun to be with; he is most thoughtful; and he is a careful driver. I wholeheartedly recommend hiring Mago as your guide. You will not regret it.

This was an absolutely exceptional half-day tour. Mago was an excellent host and extremely knowledgeable guide. He took us to the most spectacular viewpoints around Nice, Eze, and Monaco. We even saw Prince Albert leaving the castle in his motorcade.

Mago was the best tour guide! We had an excellent day seeing Eze and Monaco. He is extremely interesting and a wonderful story teller. The day went too fast!

We had an amazing tour guide and got to see some highlights of Monaco had a pace that suited us and also got to see the amazing old town of Eze.

MAGO was an amazing guide and made our experience awesome. Eze a was a surprising treat. Would absolutely use him again as a guide to see other parts of the French Riviera.

TL;DR: a bit expensive for what you’re getting; but our tour guide, Gabriel, was nice. PROS: - Contacting the tour operator was extremely easy with any questions and they’re very responsive on WhatsApp. When I wanted to change the location from Monaco to St. Paul de Vence the evening before the tour, I WhatsApped them and they literally responded within a few minutes. - You can tell that Gabriel is trained as a tour guide and was ready with his iPad on hand when explaining sites to us. It was as if he’s been practicing off a script and ensuring that he was checking off each of the boxes so that he doesn’t miss anything. - The drives to both Eze and St. Paul de Vence were short. It was great having a local and someone familiar with the areas guide us on where to go and explain everything to us. Gabriel was a great driver as well - felt very safe in his car. The car was roomy, clean, and very comfortable. - Gabriel dropped us off to a boulangerie for a pit stop for some snacks and it was great! Their pain gagner was delicious! CONS: - When Gabriel picked us up in the morning, he introduced us to his brother, someone that will be with us that day to record him. He should have checked before the tour for consent to record him AND us during the tour. There was no consent or a heads up - it was more like my brother is here to record me. No further details on where these recordings are going, what they’re going to do with them, etc. I had to ask and he said that all the tour guides do the same and they film it for the tour company to put it up on their social media accounts. - When making stops and giving explanations, try to find a shade to stand in vs. out in the sun where we’re all melting. The glare from the sun on the iPad screen makes it virtually impossible to see what’s on there and it’s challenging to stand and listen to him talk while it’s 32c in the sweltering sun. - When wandering into stores to take a gander, it was a bit uncomfortable to have our guides follow us inside like a pair of bodyguards. Inside the store, he'd explain things on the shelves while we perused and stuck to us without giving space to look around ourselves. All in all, it was a pleasant experience, but I personally don't feel like it was worth the amount paid. I'd recommend this experience to a friend if they had extra money to spend.

This was by far the best tour of our entire Mediterranean vacation—and that’s saying a lot! Our guide, Mago, was absolutely outstanding. His deep knowledge of history, combined with fascinating details at every stop, made this experience both incredibly engaging and educational. From the charming streets of Èze to the elegance of Monaco, Mago brought every location to life with context, humor, and passion. We learned so much and truly appreciated the personalized approach. Five stars aren’t enough—this was a 10/10 experience. Highly recommend!

What a wonderful tour! We started with Eze which is a charming town and stopped for drinks and snacks at Chevre D'Or. Beautiful views in all of Eze. We then went to Monaco and learned of its history, and ended the day with a trip to Monte Carlo to see the famous casino entrance and be in the middle of flash and glamour that is expected. Highlights for my son and husband was to see and ride along the F1 track Mago was very knowledgable along the entire trip from the moment we started. He has a wealth of knowledge and kept the tour interesting and informative.
