You drive the electric car; the guide handles the route and the stories.

A two-hour panoramic tour of Nice where you pilot an open-top electric car while a live guide in English or French directs the route and narrates the stops. The tour covers Fort Alban, a 16th-century hilltop fort with sweeping views; Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, a peninsula lined with millionaire villas; and Villefranche-sur-Mer, a medieval village with a fortress and the area's only sandy beach. You return to the garage near Coco Beach and the Nice port.

The Experience

Fort Alban sits on a hillside overlooking the Riviera, and that's where the tour climbs first — the 16th-century fort's architecture frames views across the coast that justify the detour. From there the route traces the shoreline toward Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, a peninsula where the houses themselves are the attraction: stately villas built for wealth, each one visible from the road as you pass. The guide points them out while you navigate the curves; the open-top car means you're not watching through glass.

Villefranche-sur-Mer comes next, a real medieval village tucked into a harbor, with a fortress anchoring the old town and a sandy beach that's rare on this stretch of coast. The itinerary builds in time for a drink if parking allows — though July and August can make that tight — before the route swings back toward Nice along Coco Beach, the local strand where residents swim instead of tourists. The whole loop runs two hours, guided in English or French, and you're steering the whole way.

The car is electric and open-top, which means no engine noise and no roof between you and the light. A €500 security deposit is required on-site as a precaution against damage, but it's not charged unless something actually breaks. You'll need a valid driving license (digital accepted) to take the wheel; passengers can be as young as four, but the driver must be at least 18.

Is this one for you?You're comfortable taking the wheel on coastal roads with a guide beside you — the two-hour loop moves at a sightseeing pace, and steering yourself means you're part of the experience instead of watching it pass.
