What to expect
Your guide meets you at the Cannes port and settles you into the air-conditioned van for an unhurried morning drive towards Nice. From there, you'll head inland and upward to Ézé, a fortified settlement balanced on a rocky outcrop with narrow lanes and coastal vistas. After exploring, you'll descend towards Monaco, where the route hugs the coast and reveals yachts and fin-de-siècle architecture. The afternoon covers Monaco's highlights and Monte Carlo's famous casino district. Throughout, your guide offers context on local history and architecture. You'll have genuine time to wander each stop rather than rush through. The full day ends with a return drive to your ship.
Good to know
Lunch is on your own; budget for stops in Nice or Monaco. Wear comfortable walking shoes for Ézé's steep cobbled streets. Prams and infant seats are available if needed. Provide your cruise ship details at booking so timing can be confirmed. Moderate fitness helps with village exploration.
