Monaco, Monte-Carlo and Eze Village Half-Day Tour
A morning or afternoon that takes you from the glamour of Monaco to the heights of a medieval hilltop village
This Monaco Monte-Carlo Eze small group tour brings together three of the French Riviera's most iconic destinations in a single five-hour excursion led by a professional local guide. Departing directly from your hotel in Nice, you travel in a comfortable, recent vehicle with no more than seven fellow travelers. The compact format allows for genuine interaction with your guide and unhurried time at each stop.
Monaco is one of the most densely packed principalities on Earth, yet it manages to feel open and storied at every corner. Your guide leads you through the old town, across the Prince's Palace square, and into the solemn Cathedral of Monaco, where the ruling Grimaldi family has been laid to rest for generations. The narrow lanes and pale stone facades set a tone that the glitzy casino district, visited shortly after, contrasts with remarkable effect.
Monte-Carlo's Place du Casino is recognizable from countless film scenes and Formula 1 broadcasts, and the full circuit tour that follows gives motorsport enthusiasts a tangible sense of the road course that winds through the principality. The tight corners, tunnel entrance, and seafront straight become far more vivid when experienced at street level rather than through a television screen.
The final stop, the hilltop village of Eze, provides a complete change of pace and altitude. The medieval ramparts and stone alleys open onto the Exotic Garden, where panoramic views stretch across the Mediterranean toward the Italian coast on clear days. A visit to the Fragonard Perfumery inside the village rounds out the experience with a look at the traditional methods behind one of the region's most celebrated craft industries.

Arrive in the Principality of Monaco and explore the historic old town on foot. Visit the Prince's Palace square and step inside the Cathedral of Monaco, the resting place of the Grimaldi dynasty including Princess Grace.
Head down to Monte-Carlo and take in the grandeur of Place du Casino. The group then completes a full tour of the legendary Formula 1 street circuit, tracing the route used each year during the Monaco Grand Prix.
Ascend to the perched medieval village of Eze and wander its stone-paved lanes. The Exotic Garden at the summit offers one of the most celebrated panoramic views on the entire French Riviera.
