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

5.00I highly recommend this tour and company. I made an error when booking and they did everything to correct my mistake and put my mind at ease and stayed in contact with me for at least 6 months prior to the trip! Trustworthy and costumer service was top notch. The tour itself was breathtakingly beautiful and our driver was so knowledgeable and flexible with what we wanted to do. He brought us to special lookout points that a normal Troy would not even know about. Do not hesitate to book!
Great Day in Eze and Monaco

5.00Excellent tour of Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo. Moumen was very pleasant and very knowedgable. His commentary and background info for the various sites really brought them to life. Many stops which were not likely on the "standard list" allowed for interesting view points (eg-saw a military review by Prince Albert II which occurs maybe twice a year) . There was also ample time to explore on our own with a little pre-guidance from Moumen. In addition, our party had some health issues pre-sail and Moumen was very accessible and able to help us navigate. He is absolutely a 5 star tour guide!
Top notch guide and a spectacular tour

5.00Our guide Moumen greeted us at cruise terminal we were pleased to see there are only 6 persons on tour. His English is very good - he said he has a history degree so he is a very informative guide who not only knows the area but its history. He took us to Eze first and explained its culture and history. From there he drove to Monaco and what a great experience he brought us to mountain top overlooking Monaco and Monte Carlo. It was spectacular had time to do a video and some amazing photos. We then went into Monaco he explained the history of it and then he gave us 1-1/2 hours to enjoy a lunch and tour the area . From there we went to Monte Carlo he drove us along the route for the races and even to the pit area - We got back to the port in ample time. I’ve been on many tours over the years and this is in my top 5 - Do not hesitate to book this tour. Thank you to Moumen for an experience I’ll never forget
Excellent day tour of all the most beautiful sights!

5.00This is my favorite tour on my cruise which was an unexpected surprise. Thin met us at the port and it was a quick and easy pick up. First we went to Eze for a bit. He knows the area so he got us there right before the crowds. I went to see the gardens with a a beautiful view. We also had a wonderful beautiful drive up there. Then we went to Monaco which was so cool and also stopped to take pictures. We had a bit over an hour to see the palace changing of the guard and light lunch on our own. We then went to Monte Carlo and were able to see the casino and drive on the soon to be formula one race track while we toured. We then stopped at the perfumerie which was delightful. He even stopped and showed us Nice. Thin was a great driver and a lot of fun! Thank you for a memorable day.
Excellent tour with Thin! Loved the ride and all the stops especially Monte Carlo and the perfume tour. He was great!!!

5.00Moumen was an amazing guide and driver on our tour today. He was very knowledgeable and we saw a lot of Eze, Monaco, & Monte Carlo in 6 hours. We also had time to grab a snack and drink at 2 locations. We appreciated that Moumen was very patient with us, as we were late getting off our cruise ship to meet him. Highly recommend this experience.
Hit all the highlights

5.00To start, Easy pick up at Port. Thin kept us entertained and made adjustments so we hit places at less busy times. We had free time at each stop so while we were with a group we still got to see what we wanted. Great excursion on our cruise.
Perfect for cruise stopover
