About this tour
A 7-hour private minivan tour from Villefranche that takes in the French Riviera's most celebrated stops. Start in Nice's old town, browsing its market and popping into a neighbourhood bakery, then drive up past Belle Époque villas to Cape of Nice for sweeping views over Baie des Anges. Continue to the perched village of Eze, tour the Fragonard perfume house if you fancy it, and finish in Monaco's Casino Square to soak up the 19th-century grandeur. Your guide provides commentary throughout, and the minivan has air conditioning and complimentary water.

What to expect
The day moves at a comfortable pace across three distinct settings. In Nice, you'll wander the narrow lanes and haggle at market stalls—bring cash and appetite. The drive to Cape of Nice climbs steadily; stop to photograph the curve of the bay and the villas clinging to the hillside. Eze involves genuine uphill walking through medieval streets with souvenir shops and cafés; the Exotic Garden adds another 30–45 minutes if you choose it. Finally, Monaco's casino district is best for wandering and people-watching; entry to the casino itself costs extra. Expect other tourists, especially midday.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, comfortable walking shoes, and euros for the Exotic Garden and any meals—nothing's included except water. Prams and strollers work fine for Nice and Monaco, but Eze's steep cobbles make them tricky. Tell the operator your ship's name and exact times when booking; they'll plan your return accordingly.
