Itinerary
Meet your guide in the morning and start your private full-day tour from Port of Villefranche to go to Nice. Visit the daily flower market in the Cours Saleya of the old town and observe the remarkable Belle Époque's mansions run right along the seafront Promenade des Anglais.
Then, go to your next stop: the charming medieval village of Eze, which is a cluster of ancient buildings transformed into galleries, high ranked hotels, and workshops. Visit the exotic garden and the typical narrow streets, offering breathtaking views over the French Riviera. There, you can see the well-known Fragonard perfume factory.
On your way, stop at La Turbie. Admire one of the spectacular features of the town: the Trophée des Alpes ordered by the Roman Senate to honor Augustus's victory over Ligurian tribes. La Turbie is also an ideal place to gaze at the wonderful panorama from the terraces over the Italian and French Riviera. See how Monaco, at 1500ft below, seems surprisingly close from this point of view.
Finally, it's time to head off to your final stop, Monaco. The prince's Grimaldi palace, whose crest shows two sword-waving monks, remains one of the world's oldest ruling monarchy. With your professional guide, have a stroll in the local streets and see the main highlights: the cathedral and Jacques Cousteau's Oceanographic Museum (not included).
Reach Monte-Carlo was named after Prince Charles, who opened the casino at the end of 19 century. The stunning Casino and Opera House are the architectural jewels sit on a terrace with a superb view of Formula 1 track. At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to Villefranche.

Georgi was great. He was our driver and spoke perfect English. He was at the port waiting for us and customized our tour to match our interest. Came with us to each point of interest and explained the history behind each. Air-conditioned Mercedes van comfortable and roomy. Do not waste your time with the cruise excursions that jam pack 50 people into a bus with only 2-3 stops. We had over 10 stops with great photo opportunities. I recommend this company to everyone. We will book it again next year with Georgi.
Dear Shahram, Thank you very much for you attention and interest in French Riviera history and locals tradition. Sincerely Georgi
