What makes Riviera Come True different?
- Every tour is fully customized, and everything is possible. It is your day. There is no fixed script. We design it around your interests, your pace and your schedule, and we adapt on the day if you wish to linger or change course.
- Exclusively local French guides, in your language. Every guide is a local with more than 15 years of experience. We never use seasonal drivers brought in from abroad. Our guides speak English, French, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic and Chinese.
- No stop-and-go. Your guide walks with you and shares the stories behind each place, rather than dropping you off with a meeting time.
- No tourist traps and no commission stops. No perfume or chocolate factories and no olive mills unless you request them, and no places designed to fill time. We never choose a shop, a restaurant or a stop because it pays us.
- Secret spots and the great highlights. Eze, Monaco and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, together with the viewpoints, villages and quiet roads most guides never show their guests.
- Travel your way. Our luxury 8-seater van has Wi-Fi, water and air conditioning. Many places are best enjoyed on foot, so we also offer walking tours, and another car can be arranged on request.
- Back to your ship, always. For cruise guests, we will always do what it takes to bring you back to your ship at least one hour before departure or the last tender. We have never made a guest miss their ship.
- Discretion. Discretion is part of everything we do.
Who travels with us?
Families, couples and groups from across the United States and beyond. Some stay in the Riviera’s five-star hotels and private villas, others arrive on cruise ships; some are discovering the Riviera for the first time, and many return to go deeper.

Why don’t you publish prices?
Because no two of our days are the same. Your quote reflects the duration, the number of guests, the destinations and any special experiences you would like. We do not publish fixed rates because we do not offer fixed tours.
