Eze Village and Monaco Half-Day Private Tour

A scenic journey through a medieval clifftop village and one of Europe's most storied principalities.


This private half-day tour from the French Riviera to Eze and Monaco brings together two of the Mediterranean coast's most iconic destinations in a single, well-paced excursion. You travel in comfort with a dedicated driver, covering dramatic coastal scenery, ancient stone streets, and the glittering avenues of Monte Carlo.

Eze perches at over 400 metres above the sea, its narrow lanes and rampart walls forming one of the best-preserved medieval villages in southern France. The panoramic views from the top stretch along the entire Riviera coastline, offering a perspective that few vantage points on the coast can match.

Monaco follows as a natural counterpart: a sovereign city-state built into the rock, where royal palaces stand alongside world-class museums and the legendary Circuit de Monaco winds through the streets. The contrast between the two destinations makes for a genuinely varied and memorable few hours.

Tour Highlights

Walk the cobbled lanes of the medieval hilltop village of Eze, perched dramatically above the Mediterranean.

Take in sweeping panoramic views of the French Riviera coastline from one of the highest coastal vantage points in the region.

Admire the Prince's Palace and the historic Old Town of Monaco, built on the Rock of Monaco.

Visit the Oceanographic Museum, home to one of the finest marine aquariums in Europe.

Be driven along the famous Formula 1 street circuit of Monte Carlo, one of the world's most celebrated race tracks.

See the iconic Casino of Monaco and the Belle Epoque architecture of the Casino Square area.

Relax at the celebrated Cafe de Paris on Casino Square and watch some of the world's most remarkable cars pass by.
