About this tour
A nine-hour private coastal drive along the French Riviera's eastern stretch, from Nice to Menton. Your guide navigates the scenic routes linking Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Beaulieu, Monaco, and Monte-Carlo, stopping where you choose. The itinerary flexes to match your interests—linger in Monaco's old town, explore harbourside villages, or simply absorb the corniche views from your comfortable vehicle. Hotel pickup and drop-off included.

What to expect
Your driver collects you early morning and heads east along the coast. You'll cruise through fishing villages and millionaire's enclaves, pausing where the light hits right or curiosity strikes. Villefranche offers working-port charm; Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat delivers old-money architecture; Monaco demands a walk around the palace precinct. The drive itself is half the experience—each turn of the corniche reveals another Mediterranean vista. Menton concludes the journey with quieter, more relaxed energy than its western neighbours. You set the rhythm; your guide suggests detours and backstories.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes for exploring villages on foot. Restaurant meals and café stops aren't included—book lunch reservations ahead if visiting Monaco's casino area. Prams and infant seats available; strollers suit waterfront promenades. Public transport runs between stops if you prefer independence at any point.
