The experience

The route starts in Eze, a village perched on a cliff overlooking the coast. You'll walk through the narrow alleyways of the old town, then have the option to visit one of the Riviera's well-known perfume factories to see how the region's signature scent industry works. From there the tour moves toward Monaco, where the guide narrates the sights as you pass the Formula One racetrack before entering the Old Town on the Rock of Monaco.

In Monaco itself, you'll discover the alleyways and landmarks of the principality: the Prince's Palace (open April through October), the Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate where Princess Grace is buried, and the Oceanographic Museum. The tour then takes you to Place du Casino, the legendary Monte Carlo square where you can admire the Grand Casino and the Hotel de Paris, watch the city from the renowned Café de Paris, or simply observe the expensive cars and the people who arrive in them.

A professional driver guides the entire day in an air-conditioned Mercedes minivan that seats up to eight passengers. Commentary is live and in English or French. Other languages are available on request. The stops and their durations are approximate and may shift depending on the day, and certain sites in Monaco require accompaniment for wheelchair users, though foldable wheelchairs and strollers are accepted throughout.
