About this tour
This nine-hour small-group loop traces the French Riviera's most glamorous coastline, departing Nice to visit the clifftop perfume hub of Eze, then Monaco's palatial old quarter and the casino-crowned heights of Monte Carlo, before swinging west through Cannes' film-festival landmarks and finishing at Antibes' walled harbour lined with superyachts. Travel by luxury minivan with a bilingual driver-guide providing context throughout.

What to expect
You'll spend the day moving between distinct Riviera pockets, each with its own character. Eze sits high inland—expect steep streets and a visit to a working perfume factory where the craft becomes tangible. Then descend to Monaco's principality, where Belle Époque architecture crowds the harbourside; the palace may be closed in winter months. Monte Carlo's casino and circuit follow before heading west. Cannes brings a different energy: the Film Festival Palace is accessible even outside festival season, though the red carpet itself remains symbolic. Your final stop is Antibes, where medieval walls frame a working harbour; the contrast between the historic town and modern wealth on display is striking.
