A multilingual guide leads the stops and handles all transport.

The experience

Eight hours is enough to move through five towns without rushing each one. The tour leaves from your accommodation in the morning and returns there by evening, with an air-conditioned vehicle and a guide who speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and three other languages. You stop in Cannes first (the film festival town where the red carpet runs along the waterfront), then head east to Antibes to see the harbor filled with superyachts and the old fortified quarter. Nice takes up the middle of the day: you walk the flower market, the Promenade des Anglais, and the Russian Cathedral, then climb to a viewpoint over the Hauts de Villefranche and Cap Ferrat.

The second half shifts to smaller, older places. Eze is a medieval village perched on a hilltop above the coast, and the tour includes entry to the Fragonard perfumery there: a working fragrance factory where you can watch production and buy bottles. The final stop is Monaco: you see the Prince's Palace, the cathedral, and Monte Carlo's famous casino. The whole route traces the Côte d'Azur coastline, so you move between towns by car rather than walking between them.

Is this one for you?The eight-hour pace means you move between five towns by car rather than spending half the day traveling. Each stop gets time to walk and see, but the route covers the whole Côte d'Azur in one day instead of spreading it across several.
