The experience

How do you fit Monaco, the Côte d'Azur's most famous villages and a working Formula 1 circuit into one day without renting a car or navigating the coastal roads yourself? This private tour picks you up from your accommodation and builds the route around the places most travelers come to see. Your driver-guide handles all the driving while you take in the landscape: starting with a photo stop at Cap Ferrat, where luxury houses rise from the Mediterranean like an island, then climbing into the medieval village of Eze for views from the summit and its narrow, flower-lined streets.

Monaco itself takes up the middle of the day. You'll drive the Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit, the legendary track that winds through the heart of the principality each year, then walk through the old town, past the Prince's Palace square and the cathedral where Prince Rainier and Princess Grace Kelly were married. Casino Square gets its own time: the Hotel de Paris, the luxury boutiques, and the famous square itself where the glamor of Monte-Carlo is on full display. The afternoon shifts to Cannes, the Beverly Hills of France, where you'll see the red carpet venue of the film festival and the sandy beaches that line the coast.

The tour ends in Saint-Paul de Vence, a medieval village perched above the sea that has drawn artists like Chagall, Matisse and Picasso. Its charming streets now hold art galleries and shops you can browse at your own pace. If you want to add the Fragonard perfume factory (where you can learn the manufacturing secrets of this major South of France industry), your guide can work it in. The whole route is flexible: tell your guide what interests you most and ask for suggestions on how to spend your time.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese.

What is the Formula 1 circuit in Monaco actually like to drive through?

The Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit runs through the heart of Monaco's streets, and you'll drive the same legendary track where the cars race each year during the Grand Prix. It winds through the old town and past the Casino Square, so you experience the actual layout of one of racing's most famous courses.

Can I visit the inside of the Prince's Palace or just see it from outside?

The tour includes the Prince's Palace square, where you'll see the palace and have free time to explore the area. The cathedral, where Prince Rainier and Princess Grace Kelly were married, is also nearby and open to visit during your free time in Monaco.

Is there time to walk around Saint-Paul de Vence or is it just a quick stop?

Saint-Paul de Vence is one of the final stops and you'll have time to explore its charming, flower-filled medieval streets at your own pace. The village holds numerous art galleries and shops, so you can spend as much time browsing as you'd like.

What happens if I want to skip one of the villages or spend more time somewhere else?

All the programs can be modified according to your wishes. Organize your day with your guide and ask for suggestions on how to adjust the stops. You can skip a village, spend extra time at a place that interests you, or add the Fragonard perfume factory if you prefer.

Does the tour include a stop at Cap Ferrat, or is it just a photo stop from the car?

Cap Ferrat is a photo stop on the way to Monaco and Eze, where you'll get out to see the view of the luxury houses that rise from the Mediterranean. It's one of the most beautiful landscapes on the coast and gives you a chance to step out and take pictures.
