Private Nice, Eze, Monte Carlo

Departing from the pier, you will drive to the town of Nice to visit the Old Town. Nice, the capital of the French Riviera, was named by Greeks after Nike, the goddess of victory. Nice retains its superb medieval charm within the Cours Saleya in the Old Quarter, where the scents of the bustling flower markets waft through the streets. After a walking tour to see some of its sights, you will have free time to explore the Old Town's maze of narrow streets lined with Provencal treasures and treats.

From here, you will drive along the Corniche to the hilltop village of Eze. The village is built on a rocky promontory overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Departing from the car park, you will ascend on foot to the lofty village with its small, quaint, cobblestone pedestrian streets, full of craftsmen's boutiques. Those making the hike to the top are rewarded with spectacular views as far as Antibes on a clear day.

You will then travel to the Principality of Monaco, where the atmosphere alters dramatically and becomes decidedly elegant, as perhaps the ultimate gem on this necklace of jewels. Further exploration in the Monte Carlo area includes views of the well-known Place du Casino, an architectural treasure since it opened in 1878. Designed by Garnier, the deluxe Hotel de Paris and the elegant Cafe de Paris surrounds. A short drive will lead you to the "Rock of Monaco" for your next stop. During an easy walking tour in the Old Town, you will pass by the Oceanographic Museum and Aquarium, the Prince's Palace, and the Monaco Cathedral, the resting place of Princess Grace. You will then have free time to explore the many shops along the narrow streets and to have lunch on your own- (not included). From here, you will return to the pier.
