About this tour

A guided eight-hour drive spanning France, Italy and Monaco, departing from Southern France. Your licensed guide leads you on foot through three distinct regions, revealing hidden corners of a beloved Provençal village, contrasting the French and Italian coastlines, and exploring Monaco's palatial streets. You'll cross borders, eat lunch in Italy (not included), and return having touched three countries without leaving the Mediterranean coast.

Highlights

  • Walk through one of Southern France's most photogenic villages
  • See the French Riviera and Italian Riviera side by side
  • Cross into Monaco and experience its principality atmosphere
  • Private, air-conditioned transport throughout the day
  • Licensed local guide accompanies you on all walks
  • Bottled water provided

What to expect

Your guide—the owner herself—collects you and drives the route at a measured pace, stopping to walk through each location rather than viewing from the vehicle. Expect winding coastal roads with views shifting as you move east, noticeable shifts in architecture and tone between the French and Italian sides, and Monaco's concentration of wealth and formality. The day involves steady walking on village streets and promenades; bring comfortable shoes. Lunch falls during the Italian leg and is your responsibility, giving you freedom to choose pace and budget.

Good to know

Lunch is excluded—budget accordingly for Italy. The tour suits all fitness levels but isn't suitable for those with spinal or cardiovascular concerns. Prams and infant seats are available. Allow time to eat; the schedule isn't rushed.
