We absolutely LOVED our half day tour of Eze/Monaco with Mago. He is a Nice-native with a background in history - his passion, knowledge and education really shone throughout the entire tour. The sites were beautiful; he even knows all the best photo spots and is incredible with a phone camera, so you can take your trip memz with you wherever you go. Cannot rec this company enough!!!

After some research we found UniqueTours Riviera offering private guided tours of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Cannes, and Antibes. My Parkinson's Disease and its mobility limitations, makes private guided tours hopefully the best and safest option for my partner and I. Booking was straightforward, and I noted my Parkinson's-related needs. On arrival in Nice, our guide, Mago, contacted us via WhatsApp to discuss expectations, limitations, itinerary options, and pick-up arrangements, putting us at ease. Mago arrived punctually the next morning in a spacious Mercedes minivan stocked with bottled water. Our first stop was Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where Mago's extensive local knowledge enriched the journey, even encouraging my basic French skills despite my language embarrassment. Avoiding tourist crowds, we explored from above, slowly descending into the village while learning about history, flora, and fauna, capturing views and selfies along the way. Mago was consistently attentive to my needs, allowing my partner to fully enjoy the experience. Despite hot weather and steep paths, regular shaded breaks helped manage my comfort. We admired unexpected art displays and visited recommended olive/balsamic oil and nougat shops. Mago guided us through quieter village areas, away from typical tourist paths. Lunch was under a magnificent tree featured authentic local delicacies, refreshing me for the next stage. Mago conveniently collected us to continue to Cannes. The journey offered contrasting scenery from Saint-Paul-de-Vence to coastal Cannes, enhanced by Mago's historical insights. In Cannes, after discussing my capability, we tackled the steep climb to the old castle. Despite the effort, the spectacular views and spotting painted murals of famous actors around Cannes were rewarding. We then strolled back down and through the main town, past the marina and Cannes Film Festival venue, exploring star handprints and designer shops. Mago then arranged to meet us conveniently to proceed to Antibes, promising exceptional gelato. The coastal drive to Antibes was spectacular, and upon arrival, we were stunned by the marina's impressive yachts, surpassing those we'd seen in Nice and Cannes. Exploring Antibes' charming streets, market, and historical sites, including its churches, was delightful. True to Mago's recommendation, the gelato was outstanding—both of us indulging in three scoops, much to his amusement. By this point, I was tiring significantly, making the return to our air-conditioned van a relief. Mago thoughtfully distracted me with engaging historical anecdotes during the ride back to Nice. Arriving at our apartment, I had recovered enough to sincerely thank him for an unforgettable day. Throughout the tour, Mago was exceptionally attentive, mindful of our comfort, and deeply passionate about sharing local history. His enthusiasm was infectious, greatly enhancing our experience. For anyone traveling with disabilities, we wholeheartedly recommend UniqueTours Riviera and especially Mago.
