Highlights
  • Antibes - Discover the charm of Antibes’ old town and the renowned covered Provencal Market, which has earned a spot on CNN’s top 10 list of the world’s best fresh markets. Located centrally on Cours Massena, it’s just a short walk from Grimaldi Castle (Picasso Museum). Be prepared to be mesmerized by the stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and Antibes Cap from the ramparts.

  • St-Paul-de-Vence - Explore Saint Paul de Vence and see why it has become one of the most famous Provencal medieval villages, attracting illustrious international figures in art (painters, poets, actors) and even politicians. Optionally, we can visit the Maeght Foundation (1 extra hour: 80€).

  • Vieux Eze - Perched like an “eagle’s nest” at 429 meters high, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Eze village is one of the oldest medieval villages on the French Riviera. The true gem of Eze is the breathtaking view of the coast. The village’s narrow streets, filled with charming craft shops and art galleries, reflect Eze’s rich history. The two watchtowers at the entrance, along with the posters and the gun-boat, are listed historic monuments. Upon request (advance booking required), you can take a break at the Chateau de la Chevre d’Or hotel terrace to admire the stunning view (extra hour: 80€).

  • Parfumerie Fragonard - L’usine Laboratoire Èze - Visite Gratuite & Guidée - Enjoy a free guided tour of our factories with a guide trained by a professional perfume maker who is well-versed in the history of the trade. Learn about the manufacturing techniques and the history of these precious fluids, and test your sense of smell with a free olfactory game at the end of the tour.

  • Prince’s Palace - Join me for a short walking tour on “the Rock,” a tall monolith on the Mediterranean coast of the Principality of Monaco. This “cultural Monegasque immersion” includes a visit to the magnificent square of the Prince’s Palace, the Changing of the Guards, a visit to the Cathedral (where Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier are buried), and passing by the famous Oceanographic Museum, Monaco City Hall, and the picturesque post office. Relax in the old city with its typical narrow streets as I explain the origins of the Grimaldi Dynasty in the late 13th century and how the Principality has become globally renowned. Extra hours available at 80€/hour (Prince’s Palace: State Apartments visit - admission cost: 10€/adult, Oceanographic Museum - admission cost: 19€/adult).

  • Monte-Carlo - Drive past the luxurious yachts in Hercule’s Harbour and follow the same streets as the Monaco Formula One race, one of the world’s most prestigious racing events held every May. We will then stop in Monte-Carlo, the heart of Monaco, for a minimum 30-minute visit. Here, you can admire the famous Casino Square, take your time to photograph the elegant Monte Carlo Casino with Garnier’s Opera behind it, and see the luxurious facade of the Hotel de Paris, the terrace of Café de Paris, the beautiful Hermitage Hotel, and the Metropole Hotel with its unique shopping center. This is the perfect opportunity for me to share more about Monaco’s incredible economic expansion from the late 19th century to today.

  • Promenade des Anglais - I suggest driving along the Corniche seaside road from Cap d’Ail, which offers dramatic coastal views. We will make a 5-minute stop at the world-famous Villefranche’s Rade so you can capture the moment with photos. We will continue driving along the coast to reach Nice Lympia Harbour and the Nice British Promenade.

Great Tour Guide - highly recommend - Romy is a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and entertaining. She took us to places we would not have found on our own, and with a stress free journey, and provided lots of interesting facts on the journey and in the places we visited. I would definitely recommend Romy.

Unforgettable French Riviera - I want to share the most incredible experience with our private tour guide “romy”. We booked one private tour and ended up booking a second tour with her the next day. We were able to customize our private tour specifically for our interests. What an amazing experience! Our home base was in Nice. We toured around Antibes, Cannes, Eze, Monaco, villa sur and St Paul. She knew about the history, the art, hidden gems, restaurants (I have a gluten intolerance and she knew exactly where to go), she knew wine pairing, and shopping for particular items. She was prepared for weather (with umbrella) and hats (in case you forgot). She made me feel like a true French woman. 🥰 She loves touring couples, families and friends providing an unforgettable experience. We’re coming back in the spring for a company event and plan on hiring her for all of our touring needs. She’s fabulous! We now consider her a friend!

Tour de Romy! - What a gift to have such a knowledgeable and experienced tour guide as Romy. She provided us two days of tours through Antibes, Saint Paul, Eze, Cannes, Monaco and everything in between. Romy provided the best service and attention to every detail. She allowed us to customize our tours and spend the time we wanted at our pace, which was appreciated. I can highly recommend Romy and the private tours she provides.

🤔 - I was approached at the Majestic Barrière Hotel, where I had gone to meet friends. A very nice lady who was waiting for clients—she was a tour guide, by the way—had impeccable English. My business is a tour service, and we asked for a positive review. We thought the NFC card was an original and very modern approach. However, we found it inappropriate to offer a €50 discount for a positive review before the service had even been provided. We still wanted to report it. We didn’t have time to discuss this situation with the concierge, but we do recommend the cocktails—these are creations of Emmanuel Ballestra, a renowned bartender. Thank you for taking the time to read.
