Italian Riviera, Monaco and Monte Carlo Private Tour
A full day crossing borders, markets, and medieval villages along the Mediterranean coast
This Italian Riviera Monaco Monte Carlo private tour takes you on a carefully crafted 9-hour journey from Nice through some of the most storied stretches of the Mediterranean coastline. You will visit vibrant Italian markets, explore a perfectly preserved medieval village, and step inside the glamorous Principality of Monaco, all in a single day.
The route moves across two countries and three distinct atmospheres. From the flower-filled stalls of Sanremo to the ancient stone lanes of Dolceacqua, every stop reveals a different layer of Mediterranean life that few visitors take the time to discover.
Monaco adds a striking contrast to the Italian countryside. The Principality is compact yet dense with history, architecture, and a sense of occasion that makes it unlike any other destination on the Riviera.
Traveling as a private group means the pace and focus of the day adapt to your interests. There is no shared coach schedule to follow and no time spent waiting for other travelers.

Browse the famous market of Sanremo, where local vendors sell authentic Italian produce, flowers, and regional specialties.

Experience the glamorous atmosphere of Monte Carlo, the most celebrated district of Monaco.
Travel in private comfort with a dedicated guide, allowing the itinerary to flex around your group.
Cross the French-Italian border and return the same day, covering two countries and a Principality in a single excursion.
Itinerary
Your private tour begins with pickup from Nice. The coastal road east provides an immediate sense of the scenery that defines this part of the Mediterranean.
The first stop is Sanremo, the largest city on the Italian Riviera. Its market draws locals and visitors alike with fresh produce, regional cheeses, cured meats, olives, and seasonal flowers.
A short drive inland leads to Dolceacqua, a 12th-century village perched above the Nervia river. A single-arch medieval bridge, narrow cobbled lanes, and a hilltop castle define the setting.
Back on the coast, Ventimiglia offers a layered experience. The modern town sits alongside a compact medieval quarter with views over the sea, and the local market is one of the most active in the region.
Crossing back into France and then into Monaco, the scale of the Principality becomes clear. Monte Carlo provides the most iconic views and architecture in the principality.
The tour concludes with a return journey to Nice along the Riviera coastline, arriving approximately 9 hours after departure.
