Description

When your cruise ship docks in Villefranche-sur-Mer, and you have only a single day to see the beautiful cities of Monte Carlo, Eze and Nice, you’ll need a privately guided, fully narrated shore excursion. Start your trip with a photo stop overlooking Nice and its magnificent Bay of Angels. Visit the medieval village of Eze, with its commanding views over the Mediterranean. Optionally, awaken your senses with guided tour of one of France's most famous perfumery factories and discover the true essence of Provence. Continue your trip toward the Principality of Monaco and discover the charm of the old town. An amazing lap of the Formula 1 track will lift the veil on the high precision of the "Grand Prix" pilot’s skills. Then discover the legendary Casino Square of Monte Carlo, home to the world's finest casino.

Beautiful views and amazing vistas

Thierry was exceptional. He was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and funny. The van was very comfortable. He showed us all the highlights. Would definitely do this again. Highlight was actually making it to the top of Eze. View was amazing and worth the climb.

Bucket List Day!

Thierry met us right outside the cruise building in Villefranche. He was very friendly, excellent English, and had a plan to make it the perfect day trip for us to Monaco & Eze. After checking to learn our preference (and tolerance! lol) for riding on the Corniches, we headed for the highest mountain road to Eze. Spectacular scenery and great information about the town through which we passed. We stopped in Eze first and then headed to Monaco. We had great interest in the Formula 1 course, and Thierry was happy to feed our enthusiasm. Lifetime bucket list checked off, and he made it terrific fun, too! Since we had some mobility limitations in our family, he did his best to minimize our walking while still allowing us to explore on foot through the highlights of the city. He sat in the van with our family elder while the other two of us toured the Automobile Collection. He was an excellent driver as well as tour guide and made the day memorable and fun. We would highly recommend Tour Azur to family and friends. Merci beaucoup, Thierry for making our day in Monaco and Côte d’Azur a family memory to last a lifetime!

Excellent service

Our driver/guide was amazing! His English was perfect and his knowledge of the area was very interesting. He knew exactly where to take us for the perfect views, best outdoor markets, fun Monaco city sites and picturesque, curvy pathways of Eze. Would definitely book with this company through Viator again!

The scenic views are so amazing

These three destinations have such different personalities and all were worth seeing. It was definitely quite a bit to do all in one day. Our guide arrived 30 minutes late to pick us up due to trouble with a new vehicle he had recently purchased. Despite the delayed start, he gave a great tour having been born and raised in the area as well as being knowledgeable about it's history.
