Program details

Enjoy a dazzling glimpse of life in one of the wealthiest corners in the world with this fascinating half-day tour from Nice that takes in Monaco and the medieval village of Èze on the return journey. Along the way pass rustic villages and modern marinas, and enjoy breathtaking views of Nice and the coastal resort of Villefranche.



As the tour departs Nice, pause for a moment at Mont Boron and enjoy the panoramic views over the Old Town and Nice Castle. On the other side of the mountain is Villefranche, a resort situated on a breathtaking bay framed by verdant hills. It has two historic fortifications, the Fort du Mont Alban and the Citadel of Saint-Elme, a relic of its position on the crossroads between France and Italy.



Arrive at Monaco and enjoy 45 minutes of free time around the Prince’s Palace in Monaco-Ville, which is located on a picturesque promontory known as the Rock of Monaco. (The palace is open to the public from June to October.) Head to Monte Carlo, on the other side of the port, for a guided tour of the district and explore the area around the casino. On the return leg, visit the hilltop hamlet of Èze, perched high above Cap Ferrat, and wander its winding, cobbled alleys. Whereas Monaco is famed for its flashy wealth, this area is renowned for being where the discreet and understated seek refuge. Admire timeless stone houses and pass under ancient arches of this picture-postcard village.
