The experience

The tour picks you up from your ship and moves through three distinct stops on the Riviera coast. Nice comes first, where you walk through the cours Saleya market (the flower and farmers market the city is known for), and can stop at a local bakery or pick up wine and bread for a picnic later. From there, the minivan follows the coastal road to Eze, a medieval village that sits 1,300 feet above sea level. You have time to walk through the narrow streets and the option to visit the Exotic Garden if you want. The day ends in Monaco, where you see the old town, the Cathedral, the Prince's Palace and the Casino in Monte Carlo.

Because this is a private tour, your guide speaks English, French or German and will reshape the stops and timing around what interests you most. You're traveling with only your family or friends: no other passengers on the minivan. The guide provides live commentary during the drive, and the vehicle is air-conditioned with bottled water and free WiFi on demand. Entrance fees to attractions like the Oceanographic Museum, the Prince's Palace interior and the Casino are not included, so you decide which ones to enter and which to skip.
