This tour could ve been magnificent if it was with another tour guide/driver . Our driver was WAGNER , what a character .
I ve never had this bad driver experience in my life .
He was very obnoxious and stubborn. couldn’t have a decent conversation. He was very rude with his comments, argumentative the entire trip .
At one point i couldn’t hold my self and said “ i m having very difficult time to have any type of conversation with you “ we got very frustrated.
When we got to Castle at Eze , he suggested not to go top , told us stay in the middle section. Good thing we didn’t listen , top part us beautiful.
There is a parfume factory which was part of the trip , tickets included to price . He said if we are not planning to buy parfume , not worth to visit . I asked if they show at the factory how parfume are made , he said no . I asked are you sure ? He snapped at me saying he has been doing this for so mAny years , of course he knows. So we left without seeing the parfume factory.
Later when I checked their web site , i saw pics of the tour with some info of how to make parfume , told him based on the pictures on the factory s website , it shows there is , he got upset , he said that’s with appointment only . Then he made a sudden U turn with a huff , we thought he is taking us back , no apparently he thought of different drive route , thats why he made the turn .
At Monaco he dropped us at a location, half an hour free time , pick up at 3:40 ..
We were at the pick up spot at 3:40 , 37C temperatures and we started waiting.. there is a bad traffic so we thought he is little late .. it was 3:55 , called him to check where is he .. no answer.. texted him on WhatsApp, no answer .. at this point we thought he left us there .. at 4:05 we saw his car approaching.. asked him why he didn’t call us or answer our call to let us know he will be late , his reply was “ there was a police car in front of me , i cant answer the phone while i m driving or , i might get ticket.. “
I asked why he doesn’t have bluetooth ? He said “ he doesn’t like bluetooth “
While he is talking if you cut him off and ask a question, he snaps and increases his voice “ let me finish!!! “
while he was driving , he talks about the tour , facing the road ( obviously) but we couldn’t hear everything he says , especially when it combines with his heavy accent, it was not good. We asked him to repeat few times , told him why we can’t understand everything he said , his response was “ i have an accent but you have an accent too , i try to understand you as well “
So like i said , it was just impossible with him .
I hated every second of this trip , paid to get scolded by this driver .
So if u are booking with this company, make sure to ask your drivers name in advance, deny if its Wagner if u want to enjoy your beautiful French Riviera trip .
I should get a partial refund bcs i had to deal with this type of a person on my vacation.
Hope this review help you .
Nadir is an amazing guide and host. Charming, knowledgable, helpful and passionate about this beautiful area. We visited Nice, Eze, Monte Carlo and Monaco. This was one of the best days of a very long trip full of great days. And Nadir made it possible. I would strongly recommend this experience.
We had an outstanding tour with Antoine! He showed us all of the sites that would normally be seen on the non-private group tour: Eze, Fragonard parfumerie, Monaco, Cannes, Antibes. This tour is a great value for large groups!
