What To Expect
Departure: Villefranche Cruise Port Your adventure begins as you’re welcomed at the port of Villefranche-sur-Mer in a luxury Mercedes vehicle. Sit back, relax, and enjoy panoramic views as we begin along the Lower Corniche. ⸻ Stop 1: Scenic Photo Stop on the Moyenne Corniche As we ascend to the Moyenne Corniche, we’ll pause for a 15-minute photo stop. From here, admire one of the most iconic views on the French Riviera — the Bay of Villefranche and the lush peninsula of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, also known as the “Peninsula of Billionaires.” A perfect place to snap unforgettable shots. ⸻ Stop 2: Medieval Village of Eze (~45 min to 1h30) Next, we visit the breathtaking hilltop village of Eze, perched high above the sea. Wander through its cobblestone streets, art galleries, and boutiques as your guide walks you through its rich history and medieval charm. The views are simply spectacular. ⸻ Stop 3: Fragonard Perfume Factory (~30 min) While in Eze, enjoy a guided tour of the Fragonard Perfume Factory, where you’ll discover the secrets of French perfume-making — an art deeply rooted in this region. A delightful olfactory experience! ⸻ Scenic Drive: Grande Corniche to Monaco Leaving Eze, we climb to the majestic Grande Corniche, offering sweeping views across the Riviera and into the Alps. This historic route is one of the highest coastal roads in Europe — and cinematic in every sense. ⸻ Stop 4: The Rock of Monaco (Monaco Old Town) (~45 min to 1h) Our first stop in the Principality is Le Rocher — Monaco’s old town. Visit the Prince’s Palace, St. Nicholas Cathedral, and the charming old streets. From here, enjoy a striking view over the Port of Monaco. ⸻ Scenic Drive: F1 Grand Prix Circuit Then, buckle up for a drive along the legendary Formula 1 Grand Prix circuit, where champions race through tight city corners and tunnels — a thrill for motorsport fans. ⸻ Stop 5: Monte Carlo & Casino Square (~30 min) We conclude our Monaco experience at Monte Carlo’s glamorous Casino Square. Stroll past luxury boutiques, see the iconic Casino de Monte-Carlo, and enjoy the buzzing atmosphere of the Riviera’s most prestigious neighborhood. ⸻ Return via the Lower Corniche Your tour ends with a relaxing drive along the Basse Corniche, hugging the coastline back to Villefranche. One last opportunity to soak in the Mediterranean beauty before your return. ⸻ Why This Tour? • Premium Mercedes van for maximum comfort • Private guide with over two decades of experience • Perfect mix of history, luxury, and Riviera scenery • Scenic roads: Lower Corniche, Moyenne Corniche & Grande Corniche • Flexible stops and unforgettable photo opportunities

Exploring Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo

5.00We had the pleasure of exploring Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo with Moumen. His knowledge of the area surpassed our expectations! We loved listening to him tell us about the history of the area and sharing his own personal take on these 3 amazing excursions. Moumen also gave us time to explore on our own after giving us the details about what we were about to see. He really is an asset to Viatours and anyone booking this excursion will be so lucky to have Moumen as their tour guide!
Day Well Spent

5.00What a wonderful day spent in this small group tour learning the history and visiting the historic town & gardens of Eze, Monaco & Monte Carlo. Our tour guide was a wealth of information, and paced out the day perfectly. The extra time spent at the perfumery, Eze, & Monaco were perfect. I’d highly recommend this tour & our guide was super!
Great!!

5.00There are not enough great things to say about this experience. We were on a week long cruise and this was by far my favorite shore excursion! Mouman is very knowledgeable (degree in history) and very accommodating. If you will be in the area, you MUST book this excursion!
Moumen was an incredible...

5.00This small group tour was VIP treatment from the start at Eze, to Italy markets (an added bonus), Monaco F1 racetrack, and then Villefranche. Moumen (exceptional tour guide and driver) provided historical insights at each location, and struck the right balance of personal time at each site, with suggested things to see. Many thanks Golden Keys Tour!!!
Great tour I highly recommend

5.00We loved our tour of Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo. Eze was a beautiful small village perched up high with a maze of cobblestone pathways. We never could have visited Monaco or Monte Carlo on our own so we were happy to be able to book a small guided tour. Our tour guide, Moumen, was amazing. He had a degree in history which was reflected in his commentary and insight into the area. He was prompt, his English was perfect and he provided several anecdotes and behind the scenes facts and stories which enriched the experience. We also loved that this tour started and ended at the cruise port, eliminating the added stress of navigating to a meeting point. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Villafranche port.
Great tour with some flexibility due to the size of the group.

5.00Our small group tour (4) was picked up promptly outside the terminal where we were tendered. Moumen was a wonderful driver and guide who was knowledgeable and provided interesting information and antidotes. I very much enjoyed the visit to Eze and the commentary on the drive. Monaco was nice and was what I expected. I picked it because my daughter had not been. I would definitely recommend.
