The experience

The tour departs from your hotel or port in Cannes, Antibes, Nice or Villefranche and follows the Riviera coastline for eight hours. You start in Cannes on the Croisette, walk the red carpet and see the sandy beaches, then head to Antibes to view the billionaires' marina and old town before reaching Nice, the capital of the French Riviera. From there, the route climbs the Moyenne Corniche (one of the world's most scenic roads) to Eze, a medieval village perched above the sea with views across the water and toward the French Alps.

Monaco and Monte-Carlo come next: you drive past the prince's palace, see the famous casino and its lavish gardens, and take a lap on the Formula 1 track, which lets you glimpse nearly the entire country in a single circuit. Your guide, speaking English or French, stops at viewpoints and lesser-known spots chosen for photography and atmosphere. The tour is completely customizable: stops can be reordered, time spent adjusted, or sites swapped out to match what interests you most.

The vehicle holds up to eight passengers and includes bottled water, fuel, parking, tolls, insurance while traveling, and free WiFi. A valid passport is required if you plan to enter the Monte-Carlo Casino. The guide and all transport are built into the price. You pay separately only for any meals, drinks or personal purchases you choose to make.
