The experience

Your guide meets you at the cruise terminal in Cannes with a name board, then drives you along the scenic coastal road past Cap d'Antibes to Nice for a guided walking tour and free time to explore. The route itself is part of the experience: the panoramic roads offer constant views and plenty of stops to photograph the landscape and the Mediterranean below.

From Nice, the tour continues to Eze village, a hilltop medieval town, and then to Monaco and Monte Carlo. You'll have time to walk through each place with your guide's commentary and on your own. Lunch happens in a local bistro, giving you a taste of how people actually eat on the Riviera rather than a tourist-focused meal. The minivan is air-conditioned, and bottled water is provided throughout the day.

Because this is a private tour, the route can be adjusted if you want to linger somewhere longer or skip a stop in favor of somewhere else. The eight-hour day is built around the ship's schedule, so you return to the port in time for departure. Your guide speaks English, Spanish or French depending on your preference.
