About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring the Italian Riviera and French Côte d'Azur with a private driver-guide.

Your guide tailors the pace and stops to suit you, picking you up and dropping you at your lodging.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven to the Italian market, where locals shop and vendors sell produce, flowers, and regional goods. After exploring at your own pace, head to Dolceaqua, a compact medieval village with cobbled squares and an old stone bridge framing views over olive groves. The coastal drive offers dramatic scenery as the road winds past rocky coves and palm-lined promenades. In Menton, you'll have time to stroll the seafront promenade, poke into the pastel-coloured old town, and visit the waterfront churches. Your guide can suggest cafés and quieter corners; stops and timings are entirely flexible.
Good to know
Food and drinks are not included—budget for lunch and café stops. The drive involves moderate winding roads but is comfortable in a modern vehicle. Prams, strollers, and infant seats are available. Suitable for all fitness levels, though wandering the old towns involves uneven cobbles.
