WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Moyenne Corniche
Drive up towards the scenic Moyenne Corniche, one of the three coastal roads connecting Nice to the Principality of Monaco. It will not take you long before realizing how panoramic the drive is, a short distance away from the city, you will then enter the heights of Villefranche-sur-Mer overlooking its magnificent bay. A very good opportunity for pictures right from the start.
2. Parfumerie Fragonard - L'Usine laboratoire
Meet up again with your driver and, just around the corner, seize the chance to visit the renowned Fragonard Perfume Factory and discover the secrets of this realm of fragrances…
3. Vieux Eze
Not even midway, and you will then take a halt to venture into one of France’s prettiest villages: Eze, filled with history and offering a stunning location over 400 meters right above sea, a truly unique place on earth.
4. La Turbie
You will proceed up the coast and reach the Grande Corniche, the highest road from where you can catch the sight of the most ancient Roman vestige on the French Riviera: the ’Trophy of the Alps’ in the village of La Turbie.
5. Palais Princier de Monaco
Descent towards the state-city of Monaco and its Palace on the ’Rock’, in time for the change of the guards(morning only). You will be given some free time to wander around the old town for a souvenir maybe, or even admire the view from the St. Martin Gardens, and definitely visit Monaco’s Cathedral and its chapel of the late sovereign Princes and Princesses.
6. Cathedrale Notre-Dame-Immaculee
Definitely visit Monaco’s Cathedral and its chapel of the late sovereign Princes and Princesses.
7. Casino of Monte-Carlo
Make a stop at Monte-Carlo’s Casino and its display of luxury cars beside and get the chance to gamble few coins inside this magnificent building (17€, afternoon only) and capture with eyes and memory only its beautiful inner architecture.
8. La Croisette
After being picked-up at your hotel by our English-speaking tour guide, you will head towards the motorway (speedway) and shoot off from there to the the scintillating town of Cannes. Explore the city and discover its magnificent palaces along the Croisette boulevard : the Carlton, the Majestic or the Martinez where the stars are staying during the Film Festival.
9. Palais des Festivals et des Congres of Cannes
Take the opportunity to walk on the famous red carpet covering the world famous steps of the Palais des Festivals - where it all takes place in May - you might feel like walking up ‘the 24 steps of glory’ and perhaps strike your most graceful pose on the red carpet. Do have a look at the local Walk of Fame with its celebrities’ handprints before you go, too.
10. Antibes
Once the high-end boutiques and splendid hotels of Cannes are left behind, you will take the coastal road to Antibes which traverses the summer resorts of Golfe-Juan and Juan-les-Pins, both steeped in history as well as ongoing events. You’ve now reached Antibes, or Antipolis as the Greeks had first named it. A town which played the role of sentinel for the country during many centuries, hence its ramparts circling the Old Town. There you might consider strolling along those XVth century walls and Grimaldi Castle - nowadays the Picasso museum. Then your guide will drive you out of the Old Town. Once past Antibes’ large marina and its ‘Billionaires’ Quay‘, you will proceed along the coastline until you reach the town of Villeneuve-Loubet with its extraordinary ‘Marina of the Bay of Angels’ from where you will go inland towards your last site visit.
11. St-Paul-de-Vence
Last but not least, Saint-Paul-de-Vence will enchant you. When walking through the mesmerizing maze of cobbled streets with their numerous listed monuments, it becomes clear how this medieval village appealed to a vast number of artists with the likes of Matisse, Modigliani, Chagall or Picasso instilling a definite artistic touch that one can now ascertain when gazing at the windows of the countless art galleries. Taking you back to another time - notably due to its aura of light at certain hours - it is no wonder why famous actors too have chosen the quaint village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence as their ideal retreat when coming to stay on the Riviera.

My friend and I booked a French Riviera tour today and had Nicolas as our tour guide.

I have taken plenty of tours to Europe but I will say that this is by far the best tour I’ve taken because of Nicolas. Nicolas is very kind and humble, he was very knowledgeable and warm to everyone in the vehicle. He gave us recommendations and even taught us how to use the train station! Nicolas went above and beyond my expectations and made my last day in the South of France the best one!

Thank you so much Nicolas!
Is there any way I can tip Nicolas via Card? I unfortunately did not have cash on me and I felt like Nicolas deserved the tip. If you do, please send me his information so I can send him his rightful tip.

It was nice to be able to see so much villages in a short time and not to worry about how to get there and find parking. Our guide, Sebastian, was very friendly, chatty in a good way, easy to be with.
The downside was we spent quite a bit of time stucked in traffic. Our guide shared that it was unusual to have so much traffic. Probably due to the fact that it was during the Festival de Cannes and the car race in Monaco. So maybe, it's better to do that tour outside of those dates.
