The experience

The tour starts with two panoramic stops where you can photograph the entire French Riviera coast from Nice to St-Tropez, then look out over the peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Villefranche-sur-Mer. From there you reach Eze, a medieval village built on a rock 427 meters above sea level. You walk its narrow streets to reach the exotic garden and castle ruins at the top. The guide knows the region's history and can adjust the route and timing to match what interests you most.

In Monaco, the itinerary covers the Old Town, Prince's Palace, Cathedral, and the Oceanographic Museum (entry fees are separate). You'll drive the full Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit, pass Hercules Port with its mega-yachts, and explore Monte Carlo: the Casino, the Lavish Gardens, and the Hôtel de Paris. A touristic train is also available if you prefer not to walk the streets.

The tour travels in a luxury car with air conditioning. The driver is your guide, and tolls, parking and petrol are included. Pickup is arranged from your location in Nice. The five-hour route is built for all fitness levels, and infants can travel in a pram or specialized seat.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish and French.

What is Eze and why is it on this tour?

Eze is a medieval village perched on a rock 427 meters above sea level on the French Riviera. It's included because the narrow streets, exotic garden and castle ruins at the summit are among the iconic sights of the region, and the hilltop location gives you views back toward the coast.

Do I have to pay extra to enter the Prince's Palace or Oceanographic Museum in Monaco?

Yes, entry to the Prince's Palace costs 8 euros for adults and 4 euros for children. The Oceanographic Museum costs 14 euros for adults and 10 euros for children. Both are optional. Your guide can show you the exteriors and let you decide whether to enter, or you can take the touristic train instead.

What does "drive the Formula 1 circuit" actually mean on this tour?

You travel the full Grand Prix track in the car with your guide, who explains the circuit and points out the key turns and landmarks. You're not racing. You're following the actual F1 route through Monaco at normal speed so you can see the track layout and imagine the race.

Can I choose which viewpoints and stops to visit, or is the route fixed?

The tour is tailored to your interests. Your guide listens to what you want to see and adjusts the pace and stops within the five-hour timeframe, so you can spend more time at places that appeal to you most.
