The experience

La Turbie sits high above the coast, and the tour climbs to this medieval perched village to show you the ruins of a 50-meter monument built in 7–6 B.C. and the panorama that overlooks Monaco. You'll also visit the Fragonard perfumery there. From La Turbie the route drops down to Nice, where your guide gives an overview of the city before you walk the old town on your own. Then there's a stop in Eze, another hilltop village on the Côte d'Azur. Monaco rounds out the day with a look at the Prince's Palace and the Monte Carlo Casino square.

The whole tour runs six hours from the time you leave the port. You pick the departure time to match your ship's schedule, and because the itinerary is customizable, you can ask your guide to linger at any stop or skip one entirely if something else interests you more. The vehicle is private, so it's just your group. A professional guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian or one of five other languages. Transport is air-conditioned, bottled water is on board, and WiFi is available during the drive.

Round-trip pickup from Cannes Port is included, so you don't need to arrange separate transport back to the ship. The tour is wheelchair accessible, and specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian and Romanian.

What is La Turbie and why is it on this tour?

La Turbie is a medieval village perched on a hilltop above Monaco. The tour visits it to see the ruins of a 50-meter-high monument built in 7–6 B.C. (the Trophy of the Alps, dedicated to Auguste) and to take in the panorama overlooking Monaco and the coast. You'll also visit the Fragonard perfumery there.

Can I customize which towns we visit, or is the itinerary fixed?

The itinerary is flexible and customizable to your interests. You can ask your guide to spend more time at any of the stops (Nice, Eze, La Turbie, Monaco), or skip one if you'd prefer to explore somewhere else instead.

What time does the tour depart, and how do I get back to the ship?

You choose the departure time to fit your cruise schedule. Round-trip transport from Cannes Port is included, so the driver picks you up at the port and brings you back in time for your ship to leave.

Is there time to walk around on my own, or does the guide lead everything?

In Nice, after your guide gives an overview of the city, you have free time to walk the old town yourself. At the other stops, the guide shows you the highlights, but you're not on a rigid schedule. You can ask to spend more or less time anywhere.
