Monte Carlo, Eze and La Turbie
Departing from the cruise pier in Cannes with your driver / guide and a group of no more than eight, you will drive to the hilltop Medieval town of Eze, approximately 40 minutes away. During the drive, your driver / guide will point out what you are seeing. A stop will be made to take photos of this charming village clinging to the cliffside with magnificent views overlooking the French Riviera. There will also be approximately 30 minutes for those brave enough to make the climb.
A stop will be made to visit the nearby perfume factory, Fragonard, which has been producing scents for more than three generations.
A scenic drive will be taken through the hillside village of La Turbie, with its Trophy of the Alps and scenic landscape.
Then drive to the luxurious principality of Monaco, where you will drive directly to the old town and enjoy an exterior visit to the Royal Prince Palace before walking to the Cathedral, where you will have an interior visit. You will then drive to the Casino Square and make a brief stop for photos of the exterior of the casino and enjoy time to view the gardens. This will be followed with a drive along a portion of the Monte Carlo Grand Prix circuit before making the approximately one hour drive back to Cannes.

Very good tour to cover Monte Carlo, Monaco castle and the breathtaking views at Monaco and Eze. Very good perfume - Fragonard, a bonus stop.

Excellent Tour

Our tour guide was punctual, pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable. He constantly checked to see that we were having a good time. The van was comfortable.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day.
Pre-COVID, we booked some trips in New Zealand through Shore Excursions Group and they were also wonderful.
Given that we've had positive experiences in both New Zealand and France, our trust in Shore Excursions is even stronger.

We really enjoyed this tour. It is fairly fast paced as you get to see quite a bit but we thoroughly enjoyed it. My mom has wanted to see so many of these places for most of her life so for her to see them in person was worth every penny to me. The views were amazing and tour driver was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and friendly. I would do this again in a heartbeat.

Great guide and driver for our small group tour
October 25, 2019
After meeting us at the port dock in Cannes, our driver who was also our guide pointed out many important facts about Cannes and the French Riviera during our drive to Eze, tgen on to Monaco. She was able to engage the fellow passengers on the tour during our travel time because of the small group. She is very knowledgeable about the area, having been born and raised nearby. The only criticism relates to crowding in the van used for the tour. Although the vehicle can accommodate 9 people, it would have been more comfortable with 6 passengers in the 2nd and third rows and the driver in the front row.
