“An excellent trip to Èze fragrance factory and village and the Principality of Monaco - We were picked exactly on time by our wonderful multilingual guide. First stop was at a fragrance factory, where the process of making the famous local product was demonstrated and then the produce was sold - at the same price as at outside shops. We then moved on to the quite beautiful ancient village of Èze, with its winding and steep streets. Definitely worth a visit.” - Reviewed on 2024-09-22
