Monaco, Monte Carlo & Eze Shore Excursion from Nice - 6 Hours

This Nice shore trip visits the most popular coastal towns on the French Riviera, including Nice, Monaco, Monte Carlo and Eze. Your driver guide takes you to Nice's Old Town, the Palace and Cathedral in Monaco, the Grand Prix route and Casino of Monte Carlo, and the medieval hilltop village of Eze.

After meeting your driver guide at the pier in Nice, you drive west toward the Old Town of Nice. You enjoy a drive down La Promenade des Anglais, the famous palm tree lined street that parallels the most famous beach on the Riviera. You have free time in the Old Town to walk through the beautiful flower market, closed Mondays when a flea market takes place instead.

Leaving Nice you follow the Lower Corniche road, which hugs the dramatic rocky coastline until you reach the hilltop medieval village of Eze. This pedestrian only French village is made up of tiny stone lanes and buildings that cling to the cliffs more than 1000 feet above the sea. There is time to walk to the top of the town's hill, where a succulent garden offers sweeping views of the sea far below, and to browse the boutiques or enjoy an ice cream with a million dollar view.

Please note that you must leave the van at the base of the village and walk up a steep hill into town, which is not recommended for anyone with limited mobility. If you are not up to walking, you can enjoy the scents of Provence at the nearby Fragonard perfume factory instead.

Later you visit the Principality of Monaco, where you have free time to explore the Old Town, see the Royal Palace, and stroll through the Cathedral where Princess Grace is buried. No bare shoulders or shorts above the knee are allowed inside the Cathedral.

Next you drive the route of the legendary Grand Prix of Monte Carlo Formula 1 circuit, and your driver guide will point out some of the more famous hairpin turns of the course.

Your final stop is the modern city of Monte Carlo, home to the rich and famous, where high rise condominiums fill your view and the streets buzz with luxury cars. The Casino of Monte Carlo sits across from a park lined with designer boutiques and luxury hotels, and it is common to see some of the most expensive cars in the world, such as Bentley, Porsche, Ferrari, Aston Martin and Lamborghini, parked out front.

At the end of this Nice shore excursion, you return to the port. During the tour your driver guide will also stop at one or two panoramic viewpoints for stunning views over the French Riviera.
