Private Tours of Monaco and the Eastern Riviera

Monaco is 2.02 square kilometres of concentrated spectacle, the Casino, the Palace, the Grand Prix circuit, the superyachts, the medieval old town on the rock. It is the single most visited destination on the French Riviera and, on a private full-day tour, the natural centrepiece of a day that also takes in Eze, the Corniche roads, Villefranche, and as much of the eastern coast as your day allows.

We do not offer Monaco in isolation. We offer the best day on the eastern Riviera, with Monaco as the highlight it deserves to be.

What a Full-Day Riviera Tour Covers

The classic eastern Riviera day from Nice follows the Moyenne Corniche to Eze village, 427 metres above the sea, medieval lanes, the Jardin Exotique with its panoramic views, then drops to Monaco for the afternoon. The Casino Square and Monte-Carlo. The Palace and the Changing of the Guard at 11:55. The harbour. The Grand Prix circuit on the public roads that Formula 1 uses every May. The old town of Monaco-Ville on the rock above the port.

The return to Nice uses the Grande Corniche, Napoleon’s military road at 500 metres, with a stop at the viewpoints looking back over the Principality. The whole day covers three of the most dramatic landscapes in Europe without wasting an hour on logistics.

Monaco in Depth

Your guide gives you the full story of Monaco, the Grimaldi dynasty that has ruled the Principality since 1297, the engineering of a harbour that did not exist until the 19th century, the financial history of a state that built an empire on a single table game, the neighbourhood of Monaco-Ville that feels unchanged since the Middle Ages. Whether you want to step inside the Casino or simply absorb the atmosphere of the square, we design the experience around your preference.

The Grand Prix Circuit

The Monaco Grand Prix circuit runs entirely on public streets. Your guide takes you through the iconic corners: Sainte-Dévote, Massenet, Casino, Mirabeau, the tunnel, the Swimming Pool complex, La Rascasse. There is nowhere else in the world where you can drive a Formula 1 circuit in a private vehicle on a normal day. We include this as standard on any Monaco tour.

Building Your Day

Every tour is designed around your group. Some clients want Monaco and Eze and a long lunch in the Principality. Others want to add Cap Ferrat, Villefranche, or Menton and the Italian border. Some want the evening, Monaco after dark, when the Casino is lit and the port glows and the streets are quiet enough to hear your footsteps on the cobblestones of Monaco-Ville.

Tell us your dates, group size, and what matters most, and we will design a full-day private tour that makes Monaco the centrepiece of the best day on the Riviera.

How much does a private tour of Monaco cost?

All pricing is tailored to your group size, dates, and chosen itinerary. We provide a personalised quote on request. There are no fixed published prices because every tour is private and designed specifically for you.

Is a private Monaco tour better than a group tour?

Significantly. Monaco highlights require precise timing. A private guide ensures you arrive at the right moments, move at your own pace, and never spend your day waiting for a group. It is the only way to access the local knowledge that makes Monaco more than its famous landmarks.

Can I combine Monaco with other French Riviera destinations?

Yes, and we recommend it. The classic full-day eastern Riviera tour combines Nice, Eze village, and Monaco. We can also add Villefranche, Cap Ferrat, or Menton and the Italian border depending on your interests.
