About this activity
While your ship is in Monaco, seize the opportunity to explore Nice, one of the French Riviera’s most charming cities. Meet your expert guide at Monaco port and hop into your air-conditioned minivan. Hear interesting facts about your destination and the French Riviera as you follow the scenic Middle Corniche. Carved into the cliffs above the Mediterranean, this famous road serves up dizzying views of the coast as you approach the city.
On arrival, leave your minivan and stroll past the Belle Epoque buildings that line the iconic Promenade des Anglais. Next, climb up Castle Hill to enjoy the magnificent views over gardens, waterfalls, and the rooftops of Nice.
Continue with your guide to the charming district of Cimiez, famous as a former winter home of Queen Victoria, that hosts the annual Nice Jazz Festival every summer. As you drive along the Promenade des Arts, see the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Sosno’s intriguing Square Head sculpture outside Nice library, the Acropolis Center, and the extraordinary onion domes and spires of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
Afterward, immerse yourself in Nice’s history in the Place Garibaldi, the arcade-lined square edging the Old Town (Vieux Nice). Then, soak up the lively atmosphere of Cours Saleya, a famous Nice attraction that’s home to the famous flower market (morning tour only), as well as other bustling stalls, boutiques and cafés.
After your tour, relax on your way back to Monaco where your excursion ends with a drop-off at the port.

Pleasant tour to Nice. Stopped at a couple off the beaten track places that were lovely.
It was fine and covered all the sights as stated. The driver, Momen, kept offering to change the itinerary. He wanted to take us to Eze, which I know is lovely, but the 4 of us are older and knew we were not up to the climb. If we had wanted a tour or Eze we would have booked it.
A bit disappointing. We were basically just dropped off to shop. Would have appreciated some info on the history of the area. If we did the same cruise over again, we would have just explored Monaco on our own instead.
Kathy was an excellent driver and knowledgeable guide. She went out of her way to show us points of interest and provide background and historical perspective on sights.
