Private Day Trip to Nice, Eze and Monaco from Marseille
A private journey along the French Riviera through medieval villages, glamorous city-states, and legendary coastal scenery.
This Marseille shore excursion to Nice, Eze, and Monaco offers cruise passengers a rare opportunity to cover three of the most celebrated destinations on the French Riviera in a single, expertly guided private day trip. Departing directly from the port, the experience is designed for ease and comfort from start to finish.
Nice greets you with its sweeping Promenade des Anglais, a bustling old town, and a distinctly Mediterranean character shaped by centuries of Italian and French cultural overlap. The city rewards even a brief visit with its colourful markets, Baroque architecture, and panoramic hilltop views over the Baie des Anges.
The medieval village of Eze perches dramatically above the sea at nearly 430 metres, offering one of the most scenic vantage points along the entire Riviera coastline. Its stone-paved lanes, ancient ramparts, and exotic garden make it a compelling contrast to the glamour of the cities on either side.
Monaco rounds out the day with a combination of royal history and contemporary luxury that few places in the world can match. From the casino terraces of Monte Carlo to the Oceanographic Museum's celebrated aquarium, the principality packs an extraordinary range of experiences into a compact and walkable area.
