What to expect
Expect a leisurely day zigzagging across borders and along the coast. Your guide collects you from your accommodation and steers clear of tourist queues, instead weaving through narrow lanes where locals actually live. You'll wander Dolceacqua's river gorge and stone archway, browse San Remo's maze of pastel buildings and market stalls, then cruise into France to explore Menton's citrus heritage and seafront promenades. The minivan is your home base—air-conditioned, comfortable, and stocked with water. You set the rhythm: linger over coffee in a village square, duck into a gallery, or simply sit and soak in views. Your driver reads the room and adjusts timings accordingly.
Good to know
Meals and attractions aren't covered—budget for lunch and entry fees separately. Prams and specialist infant seats available. The tour suits all fitness levels, though Dolceacqua's old town involves some uphill wandering. Bring sunscreen and comfortable shoes. Public transport nearby if you need alternatives.
