Monaco, Monte Carlo, Eze and La Turbie: 7-Hour Shared Tour from Cannes

From medieval hilltop villages to the glamour of the principality, one day covers it all.


This Monaco and Eze shared tour from Cannes brings together two of the French Riviera's most iconic experiences in a single, well-paced day. Coastal scenery, ancient village streets, and the glittering squares of Monte Carlo form the backbone of a journey that balances history with spectacle.

The route moves from the perched medieval village of Eze, set 427 meters above the Mediterranean, through the hilltop Roman remnants of La Turbie, before descending into Monaco. Each stop offers a different dimension of the Riviera, from perfume craft to palace ceremony.

Travelers joining this shared excursion from Cannes benefit from a guided narrative throughout, with ample time to explore each location independently. The itinerary is designed for easy movement with no strenuous hiking required.

For cruise passengers, this tour is structured to accommodate port schedules, and a partial refund policy applies in cases of last-minute port call cancellation.
