About this tour
This eight-hour circuit traces the Côte d'Azur's most recognisable stops, starting from Nice or Villefranche. You'll visit Èze's medieval perch overlooking the Mediterranean, track the Monaco Grand Prix route through Monte Carlo's casinos and yachts, stroll Cannes's waterfront and film-festival glamour, and finish in Saint-Paul-de-Vence's walled streets. A seasoned guide—often a former Riviera concierge—drives and narrates throughout, stopping at viewpoints and landmarks without rushing.
Highlights
- Èze village: hilltop warren with sea vistas across three countries
- Monaco and Monte Carlo: follow the Formula 1 hairpins and yacht-lined harbour
- Cannes Croisette: red-carpet boulevard and beach promenade
- Juan-les-Pins coastal drive: pine-backed coves and villa gardens
- Antibes old town: medieval ramparts beside superyachts
- Saint-Paul-de-Vence: fortified village with cobbles and galleries
What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel in Nice, Villefranche, or (for a fee) Cannes in a climate-controlled minivan. The guide stops at each location for 45 minutes to two hours, depending on foot traffic and your interests—enough time to walk, photograph, and absorb the setting without feeling hurried. Expect minimal queuing at major sights during shoulder seasons; peak times may require patience. The route hugs coastal roads with multiple photo stops; motion sickness isn't typical, but the winding climbs to Èze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence aren't flat.
