Nice Shore Excursions & Nice France Excursions Along the Riviera

Every Nice shore excursion includes a private vehicle and a licensed English-speaking driver-guide who provides commentary along the coastal roads. Tours range from 6 to 8 hours and typically combine 2 to 3 destinations - most often Monaco, Monte Carlo, and the hilltop village of Eze - with Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence available as additional stops. Every Nice France excursion is exclusively for your group - no shared coaches, no fixed group schedules.

Cruise ships calling at Nice either dock or tender passengers to the port, depending on ship size and the day's schedule. Your driver-guide meets you at the port with a name sign, and your private vehicle is parked nearby, ready to depart for Monaco, Eze, or the rest of the French Riviera. Nice cruise port is in the Lympia district, approximately 15 minutes by private vehicle from the Old Town.

Yes - Monaco is about 20 minutes from Nice cruise port along the coastal road and is included on nearly every Nice shore excursion. A typical stop covers the Prince's Palace, Monaco-Ville's old town, and Monte Carlo's Casino Square and Grand Prix circuit - usually paired with Eze or another Riviera destination in the same tour. The principality of Monaco is less than one square mile so a private half-day covers all the key sites before continuing along the Riviera.

Yes - private Nice tours and transfers are available for hotel-based travelers as well as cruise passengers. Whether you are spending a few nights in Nice before or after a cruise, or visiting the French Riviera independently, the same driver-guides and private vehicles are available for a custom itinerary. Hotel pick-up from anywhere in Nice or the surrounding area can be arranged.

Our Flexible Riviera tours are built for that. You meet your driver-guide at the port, discuss your interests, and they help plan the day's stops from there - in either a 6 or 8 hour format. It is a good option for guests who want local advice rather than a fixed itinerary, or who have visited the Riviera before and want to explore beyond the standard destinations.

Our back-to-ship guarantee means that if an unforeseen delay during your private Nice shore excursion prevents you from returning to the pier before your ship departs, we will arrange and cover the cost of transportation to your next port of call. This guarantee applies to all private Nice France excursions booked through us. Your tour must be scheduled to return 1.5 hours before the ship departs.
