Èze, Monaco & Cannes: French Riviera guided tour from Nice

Three coastal towns and a hilltop village in one morning and afternoon

A full-day guided tour from Nice covers the French Riviera's most recognizable stops: the medieval village of Èze perched above the sea, Monaco's Old Town and the Monte Carlo Casino, Cannes' La Croisette Boulevard, and Antibes' fortified waterfront. A driver-guide narrates the route in your choice of language, and the minibus picks up from your hotel or cruise ship, handling the navigation and toll fees while you move between four distinct places.

The experience

Èze sits on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean, and the tour includes time to walk its narrow streets and visit Fragonard, the working perfume factory where you can see how scent is made. From there the route descends to Monaco, where you'll see the Old Town, the Cathedral, the Formula One Grand Prix circuit, and the Casino square lined with 18th-century hotels and luxury shops. The minibus is air-conditioned and seats either eight, nineteen or a single passenger depending on which option you book.

Cannes comes next: the Beverly Hills of the French Riviera, known for its film festival and the long sandy sweep of La Croisette Boulevard. The final stop is Antibes, where you walk the fortification wall and look out over the marina toward the Bay of Angels. The whole route takes a full day, though exact timing shifts with traffic. Your guide provides live commentary throughout, and the driver handles all the driving so you can watch the coastline change from one town to the next.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included. If you're staying outside Nice proper, an extra charge of 70€ applies. Food and drinks are available for purchase along the way. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and infant seats can be arranged in advance for 10€.

Is this one for you?Book the eight-seat minivan if you're traveling as a small group and want a more intimate pace through each stop; the nineteen-seat option suits larger groups or those looking for a lower per-person cost; the single Volvo works best for couples or solo travelers who prefer a private vehicle and more flexibility with timing.
