The driver was very kind and took the time to make sure we understood the process it all stops around clearly and multiple times period OK done this once in the past and Paris in this worked out much better than the trip in Paris where we were able to get off at the bus never came back.

A great way to get an introduction to Monaco and nearby sites in France when time is limited. We had an interesting tour, and still had plenty of time in the afternoon for personal exploration of Nice.

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!

One of the best aquariums in the world. Signage is terrible but the tanks are fab.

We really enjoy and recommend to do this activities with kids!!!
