We enjoyed the trip, fist stop Eze is a beautiful little medieval village to explore and time to have a coffee.
Monaco for the changing of the guard, plenty of time to lunch and to explore the tourist streets and gardens.
And then to Monte Carlo in downtown Monaco. This was the only thing that felt rushed, we had 45 mins here from 1:45-2:30. The casino opened at 2pm so if you wanted to enter (you have to get a ticket €18, check in your backpack - best to leave it in the vehicle, no open sandals allowed) then you have max 15-20 mins to play at a table for the novelty factor.
We were back in Nice at 3:15pm so felt that an extra 45 mins downtown Monaco to walk the high-end shopping streets and the fab coastline would have been great.

Overall the day was great. Our guide was lovely, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. However she was more a driver than guide, dropping us at different locations and sending us on our way, not taking us as such. Understandable as the parking was non existent, but just not what I was expecting.

Enjoyed the scenic route on the way to Monaco and commentary from our guide. Eze was an amazing village as was the scenery en route. Brief but educational visit to perfume factory. Once in Monaco, witnessed changing of the guard. We had free time there to walk the gardens and grab lunch. Not enough time for Oceanography Museum, though. Ended at Monte Carlo casino, but you couldn't go in, unfortunately.

This tour excelled our expectations. The guide (sorry forgot his name) was excellent in his knowledge of the sites we visited but also of the area as a whole. He was very courteous and polite. The trip as a whole was excellent with a good amount of time at each to explore the area and get refreshments if required. The only comment i would make is that it would be useful to mention in the itinerary the walking/terrain at Eze. Yes i would certainly recommend this tour and your Company to friends and would definitely use your company again when next in the area.

The day with Ben as our driver and guide was simply great, to get a taste of the sights via Eze and La Turbie were fantastic.
There is a good amount of time spent at each location and the value of the trip was very worthy.
The group size mini bus is also ideal and the vehicle is more than comfortable.
Good for kids also, we had a 16 and 9 year old with us and they too enjoyed it.

What a day we had on this tour, so glad we booked through Liven Up as our previous booking with another company let us down 24hrs prior to our arrival in Monaco. Our guide, Sabine, was prompt collecting us from our hotel. She was very informative throughout the whole day, made sure we were all comfortable, her knowledge was incredible from start to finish. We would not have seen half of these places had we just stayed within our hotel vicinity. Sabine made sure we had plenty of time visiting Eze Village, the Casino, Perfume Factory, Prince's Palace and Oceanic Museum, the Cathedral etc and to my husband's delight, driving along the F1 track. We also had time for a spot of shopping, lunch and opportunities to have photographs taken at various beauty spots. We thank you (Sabine) for a fantastic day out and would highly recommend your company to anyone holidaying/staying in the Monaco area.

We highly recommend this tour / company! We enjoyed our guide Brett who warmly greeted us in the lobby of our hotel. The van was comfortable and newer. There were 3 other couples for a total of 8 plus Brett, which we felt was a good size and the other guests were very nice. Brett spoke perfect english and knew the area and history well was very polite and clearly enjoyed his job!

Not enough time at Casino, we only had a short 15 mins window of opportunity for photos and a look around.

I think that if we had foregone the photos of the Marina we could have easily spent that time at the Casino area.

Our guide Hairo was superb, the day was fantastic.

Booking was easy, pickup was on-time, car was comfortable. Visit to Perfume factory a must even for the men. The visit to Eze was spectacular.

This tour was recommended to us by friends and it didn't disappoint, I would have no hesitation to recommend it to fellow travellers.

This tour was one of the highlights of our entire holiday.

A must not miss tour!

We decided on the day tour to give us approx. 2-3 hours more time in Monaco over the half day trip. a good decision. Time went far to quickly on this tour. We were collected at 9.20am and after a brief photo stop at the pretty port and village of Villefrache, we stopped at Eze. Unfortunately due to one of our party getting lost within this small walled town, our time was cut short to have the (free) perfume factory tour here in order to ensure we did not miss the changing of the guard in the Palace of Monaco at 11.55am (A must see)! we therefore only had time for the sales pitch talk and while this may have been interesting for the girls on our tour, it was not for the other gentleman and myself. we then headed for Monaco. we were not disappointed we did dee the changing of the guard and had about 2 hours to explore. We had booked in advance (Strongly recommended to avoid queues) tickets for the Palace tour. The audio tour itself took around 40-50mins...it could take longer if you studied all the information available, particularly referencing Princess Grace. Due to limited time in Monaco you do really only have the chance to visit one major site (Palace or Oceanographic museum or mini train tour of Monaco + cathedral), so not to feel rushed. Unfortunately the cathedral interior was closed due to a private ceremony taking place. After this visit, our Livenup Guide (Jairo Abril - a good Guide very knowledgeable with facts and details and spoke good English too - thank you) took us on a whistle stop tour of the F1 Grand Prix track in addition to pointing our the sights around. We then headed for the neighbourhood of Monte Carlo and the Casino. Also a must visit! Photos are able to be taken inside of the lobby/foyer area (only) - keep an eye out for the amazing 'roulette wheel and table'! All too soon our tour was coming to an end and after another drive through the Monaco road tunnel system, we were heading back to Nice. Thank you Liven up, for a great day out, but it did still feel a little rushed....
