About this tour
This eight-hour private tour threads together three jewels of the French Riviera: the hilltop artist haven of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the dramatic clifftop medieval village of Eze with its botanic gardens, and Monaco's palatial grandeur. Your dedicated guide drives you through the playground of European wealth, past Monaco's Formula 1 circuit and into Monte Carlo's Belle Époque heart. The itinerary includes the Prince's Palace with its noon guard ceremony and La Turbie's Roman monuments, offering a curated blend of art history, architecture, and coastal spectacle.
Highlights
- Saint-Paul-de-Vence's winding lanes, where Picasso and Matisse once worked
- Eze's elevated gardens and Mediterranean vistas from a medieval perch
- Prince's Palace of Monaco at midday guard changeover
- Monaco Grand Prix circuit drive-through experience
- Monte Carlo Casino and Place du Casino's opulent architecture
- La Turbie's Roman Trophy of the Alps monument
What to expect
You'll be collected by your private driver and guide, settling into a climate-controlled vehicle with water and WiFi. After arriving in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, expect a leisurely walk through narrow passages lined with galleries, cafés, and craft studios where natural light catches honey-coloured stone. Eze follows: the ascent is steep but manageable, rewarding you with sweeping views across the Côte d'Azur. In Monaco, your guide navigates the famous racing circuit at street level, then you'll explore the Prince's Palace precinct (timing permitting for the 11:55 guard change) and wander through the casino quarter's Belle Époque squares. La Turbie's Roman remains punctuate the return journey downhill.
Good to know
The tour suits all fitness levels but Eze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence involve hilly terrain and cobblestones; comfortable shoes essential. Monaco's Casino entrance costs €20 on-site (not included). The vehicle is wheelchair-accessible. Infants and toddlers can travel in provided seats or bring prams.
