What to expect
Your driver collects you in the morning and handles navigation while you take in the scenery. You'll stop at viewpoints and walk through the quieter streets of three interconnected coastal villages, each with distinct character. Cap Ferrat feels more secluded and mansion-dotted; Villefranche has working-harbour charm; Beaulieu offers a gentler, more refined atmosphere. Your guide shares context about the residents who built these properties and the architectural periods they represent. This isn't a rushed tick-box tour—you set the rhythm, asking to linger where things catch your eye or move on if a spot doesn't grip you.
Good to know
Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild (€17 adult) is nearby but costs extra and requires separate entry. Wear comfortable walking shoes as you'll explore on foot between stops. Public transport is available if you want to extend your day independently afterwards.
