The experience

The tour starts at Cannes port and moves along the Croisette Boulevard, stopping in front of the Palais des Festivals before heading toward the coast. From there, the van climbs to Eze, a medieval village perched on a hilltop with views across the Mediterranean that stretch to the horizon on clear days. You'll have time to walk through the narrow streets and take in the vantage point before the route continues toward Monaco.

In Monaco, the tour covers the Old Town, the Prince Palace and the Cathedral, then moves through the Formula One race track route and into Monte Carlo, where the Casino square sits at the heart of the district's grandest architecture. Your driver-guide provides live commentary throughout and can adjust the stops and pacing based on what interests you most, whether that's lingering longer in one village, skipping a site, or spending extra time at a particular viewpoint. The van is air-conditioned and holds only your party, so there's no waiting for other groups or following a fixed schedule that doesn't match your pace.

Port pickup and drop-off are included, which means you don't need to arrange a separate transfer or navigate to a meeting point away from the ship. The eight-hour window gives you time to explore each stop without rushing, and the guide speaks English or French depending on your preference.
