Features of this day trip to Nice, Eze & Monaco:
NICE
Considered the “capital” of the Côte d’Azur, Nice is not only a big city but also one of the most beautiful places on the French Riviera. On this part of the Azure Coast the lines between French and Italian architectural esthetics are rather blurred; when you enter squares like Place Masséna with its elegant Renaissance buildings you may feel you’re in Italy. There’s a reason for this -- Nice was at one time part of the territory of the House of Savoy, most of which went on to become part of the Kingdom of Italy in the latter half of the 19th Century.
Nice is well known for its fabulous open-air market in Cours Saleya, bursting with activity and seasonal fruits, vegetables and flowers, every day except Monday, when it is replaced by an equally intriguing antique market. (Note that the off-season schedule may be different.)
Of course, you will want to stroll the Promenade des Anglais, the famous promenade that stretches for miles along the sea that is so brilliantly blue in this part of the Riviera.
To art lovers, Nice presents a myriad of excellent museums and galleries. Castle Hill (La Colline du Château) is a great place to let kids run around, enjoy the green spaces of the park, and get panoramic views from up high.
EZE
When you’re in the hilltop village of Eze you’ll understand why it is called the “eagle’s nest” of the Riviera. Stroll the Medieval streets lines with stone buildings, browse the lovely boutiques and galleries featuring works by local artists and artisans, take photos from the breathtaking lookout points, and maybe treat yourself to refreshment on a swanky terrace.
Between Nice and Eze lies Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, a spectacular promontory dotted with luxury hotels and the residences of the exceedingly affluent, as well as Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild.
In this part of France (between Nice and the Italian border) are the “Corniches” -- the dramatic coastal roads made famous by Alfred Hitchcock in To Catch a Thief. We’ll travel some of them, but rest assured your driver won’t be driving like Grace Kelly!
MONACO
The world-famous Principality of Monaco maybe the second smallest country in the world (after the Vatican) but it is also the wealthiest per capita and the most densely populated.
Our panoramic tour of Monaco will take you to
its four main districts. Your driver will also take you along the circuit of the Grand Prix, and we’ll stop
at the grand Old Casino of Monte Carlo for photos (and to maybe see some flashy
cars).
NOT INCLUDED
1. Is this tour private?
The tour is private just for your party, however, if you wish to join a tour and alleviate costs, please check with us our shared guaranteed excursion options.
2. Is the driver also a guide?
Our English-speaking drivers are NOT licensed guides. In order to provide you with the best-in-class service, our English-speaking driving guides have been trained to offer our clients a nice overview with information regarding the major highlights avoiding the expensive charges of hiring a private guide. Due to strict laws & regulations that protect officially licensed guides, our driving guides can comment and explain the sights only from inside the vehicle but are not allowed to do so once they are outside the vehicle. They are regularly licensed instead to chauffeur the public. We highly recommend that you never book with any touring company that does not make this clear.
3. Does the driver go with us inside the monuments?
No, only a licensed guide is authorized to accompany you during the visit of sights. Our driver will drop you off close to the sights but will stay with the vehicle for the duration of your visit.
4. Does this tour include lunch and admission fees to sites?
No tickets or lunch are included in the rate. Please contact our office for pricing and reservations.

Our itineraries are completely flexible, and we will be happy to operate any changes to the original itinerary (within reason). Please contact our office with all the requests you may have so that we can better organize your day.
8. Do you guarantee the return to the ship on time?
In almost 30 years of business, we have never missed the ship that is why we have organized all itineraries to guarantee your return on time.
9. Is gratuity included in the price?
Tips are never included in our quotes. We think that a tip shouldn’t be included in the rate otherwise it would be a tax!!! Once in Italy do not feel as though you have to tip everyone because someone told you to. Tip only if you really liked the service. Tips are generally: 10% not bad 15 % great 20 % best tour in my life. Please report any abuse.
There will be a full charge for bookings canceled with less than 72-hour notice for any service required. In this case, a full charge will be made on your credit card. If you miss your flight or if your airline decides to cancel the flight due to bad weather or if your flight is directed to another airport on arrival, please advise us on time (as soon as you know) or a full charge will be made.
Please give us enough time so we can accept other reservations and allocate them to our chauffeurs. If the ship does not make it to the pier for bad weather, you will not be considered responsible so NO CHARGE will be made to your credit card. A full charge will be made for a no-show-up.
Only pre-purchased skip-the-line tickets (if requested) are not refundable under the circumstance and will be charged to your card.
