Honestly, the drive along the Corniche was SO PRETTY, felt like a movie set or something. I went solo but ended up chatting with a couple from Germany the whole time. Our guide, Pierre (I think that’s how you spell it?), was suuuper enthusiastic—he even recommended a gelato shop in Eze (btw, pistachio is a winner). Monaco was pretty wild with all the cars zooming around, and I managed to sneak a peek at the casino inside (no pics allowed). Only bummer was the traffic getting into Monaco but worth it for those views. Bring a hat—it was hot!

Went with my bf for a half-day escape from Nice. The roads are twisty and kinda made me a bit motion sick, but the stops were worth it. Eze is like a fairy tale. Our guide, Sophia, gave us a ton of little fun facts (did you know Grace Kelly’s wedding dress is kept in the palace??). Monaco was BUSY but still managed to snap a pic of a Ferrari. Wish we had more time at the gardens tho, felt a bit rushed.

Took my two teens and they actually smiled (rare)! The guide—Louis—was super patient and made sure to give us plenty of time for photos. Eze was a real gem, especially the perfumery tour (smelled a bit strong, not gonna lie). Casino in Monaco is all glitz, but the gardens were my fav. Weather was perfect, sunny but not too hot. Would do again.

Enjoy a half-day guided tour from Nice that blends the medieval allure of Èze with the modern glamour of Monaco, all along a stunning coastal drive.

Me and my wife had a BLAST! The coastline is just—wow—gorgeous. Got to try some local pastries in Eze (can’t remember the name but they were sugary and DELICIOUS). The guide pointed out where Formula 1 happens in Monaco which was cool for me, but my wife just loved the flowers everywhere. Bus was comfy, AC worked, so that’s a plus.

Our guide (Francois?) was a LEGEND. He kept us entertained even during the traffic jams (there were a few). Eze was my highlight—a tiny village on a hill, with views for days. Monaco’s gardens were peaceful. Would've loved more time at the casino, but hey, guess that’s the point—keep you wanting more!
