5.00Jerome was a great tour with a lot of historical and cultural information. He took us to some in the most picturesque places that most people never see. He was full of great information. He was a great driver and even took to a wonderful chocolate candy store for some local chocolate. Thank you Jerome.
Outstanding French Riviera Tour!

5.00Jerome, our tour guide, was absolutely phenomenal! He was so personable and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to provided us with impeccable service. His driving skills on the small streets and hair pin turns we encountered along the way were top notch. The tour was supposed to last around 7 hours and we ended after almost 9. We definitely got our money’s worth. Would definitely recommend this tour and our new friend, Jerome!

5.00A wonderful day visiting Cannes, Eze and Monaco. Jerome was the perfect tour guide. He was waiting for us at the port very early in the morning with a welcoming smile and comfortable transportation (very much appreciated after many tour buses over the previous days!). We traveled to Eze first, where we saw spectacular views from the castle gardens and medieval village. Then we proceeded to Monaco and were introduced to both man-made and natural beautiful sites. Jerome knew the area extremely well and shared a wealth of information about the history and current events of the area. One of the best day tours we have ever taken!
Highly recommend Tour Guide Jerome Bernhardt

5.00This private tour is worth every penny! From the moment I booked this tour, I was impressed when Jerome was quick to contact me to provide some important information and also ask if I wanted to make any special stops. He also sent a map and photos of where to meet him which made it easy to connect with him when we disembarked. He is a top notch guide, very personable and intelligent. He told us he grew up in the area, and it was apparent from our day tour that he knew the best places to take us to sight see and grab a quick bite. I also requested to visit the Fragonard factory and he arranged our tour and was so patient waiting while we shopped. We loved seeing Cannes and Nice and Monaco so much and we would certainly hire Jerome again when we come back to vacation. Overall, this was a fabulous tour and Jerome is a real pleasure!
Great tour guide.

5.00If you're visiting Nice or Cannes France, and are looking for an incredible excursion that captures the beauty of the French Riviera, I can't recommend Jerome from So Nice Tours enough! He is friendly, deeply knowledgeable about the area, and genuinely takes his time to share insights. Jerome led us to unforgettable spots we never would have discovered on our own, making our experience truly amazing and showcasing the best of Nice/Cannes and its surroundings.
