TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Flexible French Riviera Shore Excursion from Nice - 8 Hours

This eight hour Nice shore trip is for those who want the most flexibility with their French Riviera itinerary. When you meet your driver guide you discuss your interests and the places you wish to visit. Your driver guide will help you maximize your time based on your interests and traffic conditions.

Some guests like this option so they can spend a lot of time in one location. Others prefer to see as much as possible in the time available. Usually with eight hours, the maximum number of towns you can visit is four or five.

This flexible itinerary includes a driver guide who provides commentary while you are in the vehicle, and then you have free time at the stops of your choice. Your driver guide can make recommendations based on your interests, though with a flexible itinerary we cannot guarantee you will see everything you desire in the time you have chosen, since traffic conditions and weather affect driving time. If you decide to visit the interior of any sites, you are expected to pay the applicable entrance fees in local currency.

If you cannot find what you are looking for, our Nice tours and Nice Shore Excursions can also be customized to fit your needs. If you have a larger group, we can offer you a private Nice tour using a mid-size bus or full size coach. Please contact us with any questions or to receive a customized quote.

Please note
  • During the Grand Prix Events there is a 50% supplement and it is not possible to visit Monaco or Monte Carlo from June 4-7, 2026. Please contact us if you are interested in a tour during this period.
  • With a flexible itinerary we cannot guarantee you will see everything you desire in the time chosen, since traffic conditions and weather affect driving time.

We had a   wonderful   time with your guides. As a travel agent, I would highly recommend your company, and I already have to Rosenthal and Karel. Hopefully they have contacted you and booked an excursion or two. Thank you so much for all your help. Im sure we will be e-mailing again. A lot of times I just give referrals on tours if Im doing to the cruise I just give them your e-mail.

5 of 5 Review Location- Nice Sunday, 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: Cindy C from Ashburn VA  
I just wanted to thank you, again, for assisting us with our private tours in France and Italy! We had the most wonderful visits and I want to specifically say how great the tour guidesdrivers were. We enjoyed spending the day(s) with all of them and would recommend your company, and those specific guides, to anyone traveling to those locations. They helped in making our first trip to Nice and (3 ports in) Italy very memorable! Weve been home a week and cant stop talking about our trip...Im not sure we will! Merci... Grazie... Thank you
