TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Monaco / Monte Carlo Shore Excursion

This full day Monte Carlo shore trip is a nice alternative for those who have already been to Monaco and Monte Carlo in the past. The excursion includes a private van and driver-guide and you explore other hot spots on the Riviera such as Nice, Cap d'Antibes and St Paul de Vence. There is also free time for lunch at one of the stops.

After meeting your driver-guide at the pier in Monte Carlo, you follow the Upper Corniche until you reach Nice. The road runs along the cliff tops high above the sea, so you can enjoy the stunning beauty that a French Riviera tour offers.

Once you are in Nice you drive down La Promenade des Anglais, the famous palm tree lined street that parallels the most famous beach in the Riviera. You enjoy some free time in the old town of Nice to walk through the beautiful flower market (closed Mondays when flea market takes place).

Leaving Nice you continue following the coastline to Cap d'Antibes, which is considered the most exclusive area of the Cote d'Azur. You'll see the private port of billionaires and walk past their massive luxurious yachts. You'll have a chance to stroll on 16th Century ramparts along the sea side or meander through the local covered Provencal market. The Chateau Grimaldi, which sits above the town, was used as a studio by painter, Picasso.

Later today you visit the Provencal hilltop town of Saint Paul de Vence. This medieval jewel has long been known for its artists and it is where many painters and actors live today. You can walk the town's medieval walls and through its narrow and crowded main street to enjoy the many art galleries and boutiques.

At the end of this popular Monte Carlo shore excursion, you'll return to the port.

5 of 5 Review Location- Monaco Monte Carlo June 9, 2026
Reviewer: Anthony C from Cayuga, Baton Rouge, LA  
We had always wanted to go to Monte Carlo and drive around the Monaco Grand Prix Circuit so contacted Steven Hurley to see if we could arrange. The trip was perfect and we did see some other sights that our guide suggested as well as a lovely stop for refreshments. Our guide was excellent and very knowledgable. I highly recommend booking through Steven in the afternoon. None of the standard tours offered the itinerary in the order that we wanted. Steven at Private Shore Trips arranged it so that we made all the stops within the timeframe we wanted. I would highly recommend them.

5 of 5 Review Location- Monaco Monte Carlo June 7, 2026
Reviewer: John Nin from DENHAM SPRINGS , LA  
This was the best tour that we had on our cruise. There was a total of 6 couples and Greg took care of all of us with another driver too. He was understandable, courteous, and very knowledgeable of Monaco, Monte Carlo, Nice, & Eze. He was able to cover all of these sights within our timeline with the ship. The Norwegian Ship did not offer this excursion. Greg and his other driver stopped for many photo shoots. I would highly recommend

Reviewer: Dianne G from Machaniesville VA  
It was fabulous! We had wanted the one shuttle van to fit 12 people and that one was already booked due to our late request. Instead we had 2 smaller vans and in the end that was better for us because the smaller vans could get to places the larger one could not! Everyone in my party agreed that this day was the best day of all our excursions. Our two tour guides, Yannick and Pasquale were excellent! I would highly recommend your company and would use you again ourselves. Thank you!

Reviewer: Denise A and William P from Roslyn, WA  
We want to thank you for the great job you did on planning and organizing our trip to Europe. The eight of us had a great time as well as being pleasantly surprised at how well the trip was organized, how gracious our drivers and guides were how pertinent your suggestions were. We will be having friends go in the spring and will be referring them to you.
