Private Tour from Nice: French Riviera Highlights

A curated coastal journey through medieval villages, royal principalities, and legendary glamour


This private tour from Nice along the French Riviera takes you through three of the most iconic destinations on the Mediterranean coast in a single, seamlessly organized five-hour excursion. Travel in a spacious, air-conditioned vehicle with Wi-Fi and bottled water, guided by an English-speaking driver dedicated entirely to your group.

From the cobblestone streets of a perched medieval village to the grandeur of a reigning principality and the glittering harbor of Monte Carlo, this itinerary covers the essential character of the Riviera without the logistical complexity of independent travel. Pickup and dropoff from your Nice accommodation are included.

Because the tour is fully private, your group controls the pace. You can linger at a viewpoint, spend extra time at a museum, or adjust the order of stops by coordinating directly with your driver before or on the day of departure.

The route follows the scenic Moyenne Corniche and Lower Corniche roads, offering continuous views of the Mediterranean and the hillside villages that have defined this coastline for centuries.

Tour Highlights

Walk the cobblestone lanes of Eze Village, a hilltop settlement with panoramic views stretching across the Mediterranean Sea.

Visit the exotic gardens of Eze and the legendary Fragonard perfume factory, where the art of fragrance has been practiced for generations.

Explore Monaco's Old Town, including the Prince's Palace with its ceremonial changing of the guards.

Visit the Oceanographic Museum in Monaco, perched dramatically above the sea and home to one of the finest marine science collections in Europe.

Discover Monte Carlo's Casino Square, surrounded by Belle Epoque architecture and the energy of one of the world's most recognized addresses.

Follow sections of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit through the streets of Monte Carlo, a route synonymous with motorsport history.

Enjoy a fully private, customizable itinerary with door-to-door service and no shared coach or fixed group schedule.

Eze Village

Perched at 427 meters above sea level, Eze is one of the most visited hilltop villages on the Riviera. Wander the medieval lanes, explore the exotic cactus garden at the summit, and step into the Fragonard perfume factory for a glimpse into the region's centuries-old fragrance tradition.
