About this tour

What to expect
You'll start with an evening drive from your accommodation in Nice or Villefranche in a luxury minivan, arriving in Eze as light fades. Expect to climb and descend steep, narrow passageways between old stone buildings—wear sturdy shoes. A pause at Chateau de La Chevre D'or gives you time to settle and absorb views over the Riviera. Your guide leads you through Saint-Paul de Vence next, pointing out layers of history carved into its layout and architecture. The walking is steady but not strenuous; however, the uneven cobbles and gradients demand reasonable fitness and sure footing.
Good to know
Book pickup from Nice or Villefranche town centre only; Cannes, Antibes and Monaco pickups aren't available. Bring comfortable walking shoes and a light layer—evenings cool off. Not suitable if you have spinal issues or cardiovascular concerns. Infant car seats can be arranged on request. Meals are separate; no restaurants included.
