What to expect
Your guide meets you and drives to the first Riviera viewpoint, then steps out to walk you through what you're seeing—the buildings, the history, the why things look the way they do. You'll move between a few key spots along the coast, spending time on foot rather than glued to a car window. The pace is unhurried; this isn't a tick-box tour. Around midday you'll have time to find your own lunch—the guide can suggest places, but you're free to wander and discover. Expect a mix of standing, gentle walking, and seated time in the car.
Good to know
Bring comfortable shoes and water. Public buses run nearby if you prefer independent travel. Infant seats are fitted in advance—mention this when booking. The tour works year-round, though summer crowds on the Riviera can be heavy.
