A curated journey through medieval villages, royal landmarks, and the glamour of the French Riviera
This Monaco Monte Carlo Eze private tour delivers five hours of expertly guided exploration across three of the most iconic destinations on the French Riviera, with a dedicated driver-guide and door-to-door service from your accommodation.
The route begins with a scenic stop above the Bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, one of the deepest natural harbours in the Mediterranean, before ascending to the perched medieval village of Eze. From its summit, the panoramic views over the coastline are among the most photographed in southern France.
In Monaco, the itinerary covers the historic Rock district, home to the Prince's Palace, the cathedral where Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly were married, and the old town's narrow lanes. The tour then descends to Monte Carlo to take in Casino Square, the Hotel de Paris, and the legendary Formula 1 street circuit.
