Private Riviera Half-Day: Eze, Monaco & Monte Carlo

A chauffeured private half-day sweeping through the eagle's-nest village of Eze, the gilded Principality of Monaco, and the legendary Casino Square of Monte Carlo — the French Riviera's greatest hits in one seamless, unhurried arc.

What to expect

Your private guide collects you directly at the Villefranche pier and whisks you up the Grande Corniche to Eze, a vertiginous medieval village draped in bougainvillea 427 metres above the sea. After wandering its cobbled lanes and the panoramic Jardin Exotique, you descend to Monaco for the Prince's Palace square, the harbour bristling with superyachts, and the marble opulence of Casino Square in Monte Carlo. The return follows the Lower Corniche with breathtaking coastal views at every bend.

Good to know

Book well in advance during peak summer — private vehicles fill fast. Confirm all-aboard time with the ship and ask Ophorus to plan a 45-minute buffer; the port is a short taxi or tender ride. Comfortable walking shoes essential for Eze's steep cobblestones.
