Top-rated Monaco Attractions, Landmarks & More

Chloe was an amazing guide, very friendly and informative.

Gregory was wonderful! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He learned what we were most interested in and adjusted our itinerary to fit. He suggested things that we didn't know about that were perfect for us.

Perfect length and time to walk the circuit either a few F1 interesting facts thrown in

We had an excellent private tour of the French Riviera with Alain, and I honestly could not have asked for a better guide. From the moment he picked us up at the port in Villefranche-sur-Mer, he was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely well organized.Our transportation for the day was a Mercedes-Benz van, which was very comfortable and made a big difference during a full day of sightseeing. Having a private vehicle allowed us to move easily between the different cities, viewpoints, and attractions without the stress of a large tour bus.One of the things we appreciated most about Alain was how well he managed our time. We visited a tremendous number of places without ever feeling rushed, and he always kept us on schedule so we could enjoy every stop and still return to our cruise ship on time.We began with some spectacular panoramic viewpoints overlooking Nice and the Mediterranean, as well as beautiful views of Villefranche-sur-Mer and its bay. Alain knew exactly where to stop for the best views and gave us enough time to get out, enjoy the scenery, and take pictures.In Nice, Alain showed us the historic areas of the city, including Place Masséna and the Fontaine du Soleil, the colorful streets of Vieux Nice (Old Nice), the Opéra de Nice, Église Saint-François-de-Paule, and the area associated with Sainte Rita.One of our favorite experiences in Nice was visiting the Cours Saleya Market, the local flower, fruit, vegetable, and food market. We really enjoyed seeing a place where locals shop and experiencing something beyond the typical tourist attractions. Alain explained the area and gave us time to walk through the market and explore.We also saw the impressive Monument aux Morts de Rauba-Capeù, overlooking the Mediterranean, and stopped near Fort du Mont Alban, where we enjoyed another incredible panoramic view over Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, the coastline, and the Mediterranean.We then continued to the beautiful medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Walking through its narrow stone streets, historic buildings, art galleries, churches, and old fortifications was one of the highlights of the day. We visited the area around the Collégiale de la Conversion de Saint-Paul and had plenty of time to explore the village.For lunch, we ate at Restaurant Le Tilleul in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, which was an excellent place to stop and enjoy lunch surrounded by the atmosphere of this beautiful historic village. The restaurant also had an incredible view, which made the experience even more memorable. It definitely wasn’t cheap, but the food, setting, service, and views made it an excellent choice and well worth it.After Saint-Paul-de-Vence, we headed toward Monaco, and Alain again stopped at a spectacular panoramic viewpoint where we could see the Principality from above. The views of Monaco-Ville, the Prince’s Palace, Port Hercule, the yachts, the Mediterranean, and the city built into the mountainside were incredible.Once in Monaco, Alain drove us through the famous streets that form part of the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix circuit. This was especially fun because the Monaco Grand Prix is held on the actual streets of Monaco. Being driven along portions of the circuit and recognizing areas from Formula 1 made the visit even more memorable.We then explored Monaco-Ville, or Le Rocher (The Rock). We entered Monaco Cathedral — the Cathedral of Our Lady Immaculate, visited the Prince’s Palace of Monaco, and saw the statue of François Grimaldi “Malizia,” connected to the history of the Grimaldi family in Monaco.From there, Alain took us through more of Monaco and into Monte Carlo, where we visited the famous Casino de Monte-Carlo and the surrounding Casino Square. Seeing the Prince’s Palace, Monaco Cathedral, the Formula 1 circuit, the harbor full of yachts, and the Monte Carlo Casino all in one visit gave us an excellent experience of Monaco.Another thing that made Alain stand out was his personality. Don’t let the French accent fool you — his knowledge of American culture was incredible. We talked about everything from American culture to classic Hollywood Western movies, and his knowledge genuinely surprised us. In all the tours we have taken, I cannot remember having a guide from another country who knew so much about American culture.Alain was also extremely down-to-earth, personable, and a true gentleman with our family. He made everyone feel comfortable, treated us with respect, and made the entire day feel more like traveling with someone we had known for years rather than simply being driven around by a tour guide.What made this tour exceptional was not simply how many places we visited, but Alain himself—his organization, knowledge, personality, attention to timing, and the way he treated our family. He knew exactly where to stop for the panoramic views, showed us a genuine local market in Nice, gave us time to explore Saint-Paul-de-Vence, organized an excellent lunch stop at Le Tilleul, drove us through the Formula 1 circuit, and made sure we experienced the most important landmarks of Monaco and Monte Carlo.For anyone arriving by cruise ship in Villefranche-sur-Mer who wants to experience Nice, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Monaco, Monte Carlo, local markets, medieval villages, the Formula 1 circuit, and some of the best panoramic views of the French Riviera, I highly recommend booking this private tour with Alain.Thank you, Alain, for an unforgettable day. Between the comfortable Mercedes-Benz van, your knowledge, your organization, your sense of humor, and the way you treated our family, I truly could not have asked for a better guide or a better tour of the French Riviera. This was absolutely one of the highlights of our entire cruise.

Alain was very professional and told lovely historical and current day stories and facts about the region. My 20 year old sons loved the time in Monaco and loved the panorama view points of the region. A special experience for our private van experience. Alain made several recommendations for lunch with a few and we had a lovely time by one of the marinas. I would book his services again and I will share with South of France travel clients in the future. Merci Beaucoup

Chloe was a wonderful guide. We really enjoyed.

Very accommodating service! We docked and got off our ship early and our driver rearranged his schedule to pick us up earlier then planned, saving us from a 2 hour wait! Comfortable ride, and plenty of bottled water for us.

It was absolutely amazing. Gregory was so knowledgeable and was so accommodating.I could not more highly recommend this tour

Incredible day on the water - the views, swimming and experience, made it one of the highlights of the trip. Boat was excellent and skipper was super cool.

A fantastic experience for any motorsport fan and also for those who want to know Monaco in a different way. The app is easy to use, with clear instructions and interesting information throughout.Walking through the famous Formula 1 circuit and recognizing iconic curves like the Fairmont Hairpin, the tunnel and the finish line was something really special. The tour allows you to explore at your own pace, stop to take photos and appreciate the beautiful landscapes of the Principality.The explanations provided by the app help to understand the history of the circuit, the striking moments of the races and the importance of the Grand Prix of Monaco in world automobile. In addition, it is an excellent way to combine tourism, exercise and sports culture.I highly recommend this self-guided walk for visitors of all ages. A fun, informative and memorable way to discover one of the most famous circuits in the world.

What about one of the most coveted luxury destinations in the world... combined with the Tennis Tournament at the Country Club of Monte Carlo. Unique! Exclusive!

The opulence of Monte Carlo was amazing. The yachts in the harbour, the expensive European cars, and the buildings from old and exquisite to modern, were fantastic. We were on a cruise so only had a day to spend in Monte Carlo but we enjoyed every minute of it.

Amazing views from the water. This was the perfect way to spend a day along the Côte d’Azur. Highly recommended!!!

Our tour of Monaco with Angelika was an absolute highlight of our trip. Not only is Monaco stunning in its own right, but experiencing it through Angelika‘s eyes gave us a much deeper appreciation of the city-state’s beauty, complexity, and history.What made this Tour especially unique was Angelika‘s background in architecture. Her knowledge brought us an entirely new dimension to the experience. We learned so much more than just dates and royal facts. She explained the challenges of building in such a small, mountainous country, pointed out hidden engineering marvels, and showed us how Monaco has creatively expanded its footprint into the sea.Her passion for both the place and her profession was contagious. From the glamorous Monte Carlo Casino to the layered history of the Prince’s Palace and the innovative eco-districts, Angelika tied it all together with fascinating insights that we would have never gotten on our own.If you’re visiting Monaco and want more than just a surface level tour, we can’t recommend Angelika enough. Her expertise made this elegant city come alive in a way we will never forget.

Mango was our guide excellent my mom is disabled he was so attentive and took it at a great pace saw everything and even more

We booked this transfer from our cruise ship departure in Monte Carlo to get to our hotel in Nice, France. The driver and car were great. He was a local, very knowledgeable about the area, and spoke very good English. He allowed us to stop at the casino and even took a few pictures of us. Then he dropped us off for about 30 minutes in Eze (which is an amazing town to visit if you have some time). On the way into Nice he gave us recommendations for restaurants and things to see. We highly recommend this service.
