My name is Cecilia, I've been working as a tour guide since 2009 ! Time flies . . . Especially when you do what you love. And I am personally convinced that it is simply not possible to be a tour guide without truly loving what you do. You give so much of yourself in each tour, in every single new encounter. . . I honestly feel like I am in the right place doing this ! It is all about sharing the Beauty which surrounds you and creating joyful memories for people to go home with. I couldn't imagine a career that could fit me better. I like to think that enthusiasm is my ⛽ fuel. Looking forward to meeting you and enjoying Beauty together ☺️ I graduated from the Paul Augier Hospitality School in Nice. I have a valid EU Driver's License I am a licensed tour guide since 2008. And the entire rest of what I know, I learned and was taught by my amazing mother who has been a tour guide herself for over 40 years now. I owe her everything I know and will never be able to thank her enough. None.

Overview of your Nice tour

This tour will get you to see Monaco from the inside, understand its History and how it became a legendary & internationally renowned place. . . After this, imagine jumping into a completely different world . . . Driving through a real mountain (I have found myself having to stop the car to let goats cross the road ;P) to reach the most authentic village, appreciated for its gorgeous views and its genuine off the beaten path feel. Only true locals live here, so there are no tourist shops, guaranteed. Then you will also have the chance to discover the last French city, sheltered between Italy & Monaco. . . It happens to be my hometown. . . And I am not going to lie, even though I travelled the world, I can't help remaining a BIG fan of the place . . . A famous geographer once called it "the Pearl of France". . . I'm just saying . . . ;)

We had a great time on this full day tour with Cecilia!! She has vast knowledge of the history and stories of the area which made it come to life! She adapted to our needs, less walking, yet still showed us the sites! She introduced us to a great family lunch spot high in the French Alps as well as a local boulangerie. Cecilia has a passion for making you feel comfortable while showcasing the French Riviera! We will be in touch when we return to the area! Just go ahead and book any tour with Cecilia!! She is amazing!!!

Cecelia is a fun and informative guide. As a life long resident of the region she can take you to all the special little places you would never find otherwise. We loved our day with her and we're very impressed with her driving skills too!

Your Nice tour itinerary

- We would start the day travelling from the agreed on meeting point for a driven tour of Monaco, and add a walking tour either on the famous Rock where the Prince Palace stands, or in Monte Carlo, with its fancy designer stores and its legendary Casino. -Making our way up to the tiny village of La Turbie, we'd enjoy a beautiful view overlooking the Principality. - We would then take off to Sainte Agnès, which was ranked as "One of the most beautiful villages of France", and is the highest coastal village in Europe, I know a great place for lunch there, a family inn where everything is home made. (Yummy!) -Coming back down, as our last stop before returning we would discover Menton, a resort town stuck between Monaco and the Italian border. . . The mountain & the sea, an adorable old town, beautiful views. . . Menton has a lot to offer. . . And it is not rare that travelers simply fall in love with it. You've been warned!
