About this tour
An eight-hour private tour from Cannes that threads the corniche roads between Nice and Monaco, stopping in the perched village of Eze for a perfumery visit, then descends into Monaco's principality to explore the old town, Prince's Palace grounds, cathedral, and the Oceanographic Museum. You'll drive the famous Grand Prix circuit and finish at Monte Carlo's casino square and harborfront, where Ferraris and superyachts outnumber regular cars.

What to expect
Your driver navigates the winding roads that climb from coastal Cannes toward the Alps, stopping first in Eze where narrow stone lanes lead upward through a restored medieval settlement. You'll visit the perfume factory to learn extraction techniques, then head down to Monaco. The old town reveals itself gradually: narrow passages, the palace overlooking the port, and the cathedral where Princess Grace is buried. The Oceanographic Museum showcases marine life in substantial aquariums. The Grand Prix circuit becomes real when you're actually standing on streets that transform into a racetrack each May. Monte Carlo's square bustles with wealth on display—luxury boutiques, restaurants, the casino itself—though you can simply watch from a café if crowds feel overwhelming.
Good to know
The Prince's Palace is shuttered November to March. Wear comfortable shoes for village walking. The tour covers considerable ground in eight hours, so expect periods of driving between stops. Wheelchair accessibility varies by site; staff can advise on assistance needed.
