Monaco City (French: Monaco-Ville) is the southcentral Ward in the Principality of Monaco.

The name "Monaco City" (French: Monaco-Ville) is misleading, Monaco City is a historical and statistical district, not a city.

From pick up at our apartment until drop off, the day was wonderful. We seen the advertized sites and our guide, Alexandre, did an outstanding job of balancing our time and our priorities. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the area and the history, and given we were on a private tour his time was our time. Overall, a Grand Day. Bailey

We took this tour in late December. I don't remember the driver/tour guide's name (sorry) but he was easy to talk to, gave us a lot of information. We started at the winery and met the winemaker George. George spoke only French so our tour guide helped translate but towards the end we were all able to converse a little. It was very cool to see how he ages the wine in the sun. We learned about his wine making process and then tasted several of his wines plus his olives. We bought some bottles to drink back at Nice and I wish we had bought more. The winery is full of beautiful paintings done by the winemaker's brother, who also designs the labels. We then went to St Paul-de-Vence and toured the little village. Since it was Christmas time, the village was decorated and was really very pretty. I recommend this tour if you have any interest in wine (and even if you don't because you might after this tour!). We were a family with 4 young adults, only one was a teen (I had to choose a category) to submit this review.
3. Double Supercar Driving Experience from Monaco

Everyone dreams of being behind the wheel of one of these legendary exotic cars. Your instructors will meet you at the meeting point in Monaco, with these two head-turning super cars: Ferrari F458 Italia & Lamborghini Gallardo 560 LP spider. You will then drive out along part of the Monaco F1 circuit, depending on traffic, to reach the roads of the medium and grande corniches. The panoramic views of the French Riviera, from as far as Cannes, and above Monaco through to the Italian border are breathtaking. If possible, we will take the highway to Menton, the border town before Italy, and then we will return to the famous Vista Palace Hotel where you can admire the captivating view overlooking the Principality. You will drive on some of the scenic and winding roads, typical of the South of France and as seen in numerous movies, past and present.

Our host Zara, made the Monaco/Eze Village visit so enjoyable. From Perfumery (Grasse) to to Casio (Monte Carlo) and Monaco itself. The pickup from my Nice dwelling was an unexpected benefit. The on route conversations were delightful and the scenic views of the rolling hills along the French Riviera were just breathtaking. Thoroughly enjoyed this 4 hour excursion and would pay to do the longer more expensive tour next time I am in this part of France. Thanks Zara and team. Regards - Ed

This was a great trip. We visited 3 lovely mountain villages and sea towns of Antibes and Canne and had just the right amount of time at each. Our guide, Placido was very nice, knowledgeable and knew all the best places to pull over for photos, etc. Also had a short tour at the Fragonard factory which I found very interesting. Definitely a great tour to get a taste of Provence.

What a wonderful day trip from Toulon and our cruise ship. Sasha from Toursbylocals was supurb! Cannot say enough about this great day excursion. We had a wonderful day driving first to Aix-en-Provence- just a lovely French town (for a quick, buttery croissant & coffee) and onto Cassis a pleasant fishing village by the sea. Sasha led us to a delicious seaside lunch spot where mussels & fries were the local specialties. Cassis was a fun town to walk around and view the locals enjoying their Sunday at the shore. We then drove to the highest scenic road to a fantastic view of the city and area. Sasha knew so much about the sites and the area. Though we learned about the Calanques, we did not have time for a boat ride to visit the spot but learned about these very special and unique places. Everyone loved Sasha as our guide and this special day excursion.

This review is long overdue. But when a friend asked me what they should do while in France I had to recommend this day trip with Yvonne. Yvonne tailor made our day so that my husband and I were able to see the things most important to us. Her knowledge of the area is truly wonderful. We were able to visit little villages, talk to the shop owners, taste incredible food and see sights we would not have explored on our own. Of course her Mercedes was very clean and comfortable. Yvonne is a warm and friendly host. The day spent with her as our guide was the highlight of our trip to France.

I am a travel agent from New York. My company specializes in planning itineraries with private tour guides in each city. I have personally toured with Cécile and sent clients to tour with her. She is smart, warm, knowledgable, and flexible. A few months ago I took a cruise that was supposed to dock in Monte Carlo, but due to weather docked in Villefranche instead. Cécile picked us up there and on the fly came up with a plan for the day that balanced traditional touring with some great local shopping (it was a "girls" trip and we had our priorities). That day we saw Nice, Antibes, and St. Paul. Just last week, my cousin and his new wife visited the area on a cruise (their honeymoon). The ship's itinerary changed at the last minute and they ended up going to Monte Carlo a day later than originally scheduled. Cécile was able to switch the tour day for us and ultimately showed them much more than they would have seen with the original schedule. Cécile is the first person I will contact whenever I, or a client is going to visit the French Riviera.
