The experience

The minivan picks you up at the port and heads straight into the French Riviera's main towns. Nice comes first. Your guide drives the Promenade des Anglais, the famous coastal avenue, and walks you through the old town to show you the neighborhoods locals know. Villefranche sits on a natural harbor. Eze is a medieval village perched on a hilltop with Mediterranean views that stretch down to the water. La Turbie sits high enough that on a clear day you can see France, Italy and Monaco all at once from the same viewpoint, which is why it's a favorite for photographs.

Monaco and Monte Carlo fill the final stretch of the day. Your guide shows you the Prince's Palace, the casino, and the spots that don't make the guidebooks: the side streets and quieter corners where the city reveals itself differently than it does to the crowds at the main attractions. Because this is a private tour, the pace is yours to set. If a stop deserves an extra hour or if you'd rather skip one entirely and spend more time somewhere else, that's a conversation you have with your guide before the day starts, and the itinerary shifts to match.

The minivan is air-conditioned, which matters on a seven-hour day in the Mediterranean sun. You get bottled water throughout, a USB charger for your phone, and free internet hotspot so you can share photos or check messages without hunting for wifi. The guide speaks English, French or Russian depending on your preference.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, French and Russian.

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

La Turbie is a viewpoint high in the hills above Monaco where you can see across three countries (France, Italy and Monaco) on a clear day. It's included as a photography stop and a moment to step out of the minivan and get your bearings on the geography of the region.

Can I customize which towns we visit or how long we spend at each one?

Yes. The tour visits Nice, Villefranche, Eze, La Turbie and Monaco, but because it's private, you can adjust the itinerary before you depart. If you want to skip a stop or spend extra time at one, tell your guide and the day reshapes around your priorities.

How does pickup work if I'm arriving by cruise ship?

Port pickup is included. Your guide meets you at the port, and the minivan is waiting. After the tour, you're dropped back at the port in time for your ship's departure.

What should I bring or wear for a seven-hour tour?

Comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and a hat or sunglasses. You'll be walking through old towns and standing at viewpoints. The minivan is air-conditioned, but you'll spend time outside at each stop. Bottled water is provided, and there's a USB charger in the vehicle if you need to top up your phone.

Is lunch included in this tour?

Lunch is not included in the tour price. Your guide can recommend restaurants in any of the towns you visit, and you can build time into the itinerary to eat if you want to.
