The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
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.
Glide by private boat along the most dramatic stretch of Riviera coastline to the mythical Mala Caves — crystalline grottos accessible only from the sea — and snorkel the turquoise shallows beneath Cap d'Ail's limestone cliffs.
Step inside one of the most extravagant private estates ever built on the Riviera — the rose-pink Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild on Cap Ferrat — and explore nine themed gardens cascading down to the sea on both sides of the peninsula.
Uncover 700 years of layered history in Villefranche's ochre-and-coral old town — including the hauntingly medieval Rue Obscure, the citadel bastions, and Cocteau's intimate chapel — guided by a passionate local expert.
The definitive Riviera sweep in a single polished day — Nice's sun-drenched Promenade and old town, medieval Eze perched above the clouds, and Monaco's harbour and Casino Square — in a premium small group with an expert guide.
Take command of your own private motorboat and circumnavigate the legendary Cap Ferrat peninsula — discovering secret coves, the villas of royalty and rock stars, and the clearest water on the entire Côte d'Azur.
