What people love about touring French Riviera solo
- Stunning French Riviera
The hotel was in a trendy location and the hotel/airport transfers went well. It would have been nice to have spent more time in Eze and Menton. Also, the tours should have been split up so that the English speaking people were in one group and the French speaking people were in another group instead of combining them so that everything had to be said in both languages. For the most part though a nice vacation.
- European Highlights (Start London, Classic)
Courtney is the best trip manager!! Very informative, funny and made sure we all had the best experience.
- 5 Days / 4 nights Full trip to the French Riviera from Nice, Côte d'Azur
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Every day was interesting. I especially enjoyed Alessandro who is our guide on the leg to Monaco.
