Is hotel pickup included?

Yes, pickup and drop-off from your Nice accommodation is typically included in private tours of this type. Confirm the pickup location and time when booking.

Can I visit inside the Palace and Casino?

The Prince's Palace exterior and courtyard are accessible; interiors are closed to tourists except during rare official openings. The Casino interior is open to visitors (minimum dress code: smart casual for public areas), though gaming rooms require formal attire.

How much free time do I get in Monaco?

Most of the day is flexible exploration time. Your guide will structure the itinerary—typically 4–5 hours in Monaco for sightseeing, dining, and shopping, with the remainder for travel and any additional Riviera stops.

Lunch is not included, but your private guide will recommend restaurants suited to your budget and dietary preferences, from casual to fine dining.

What's the weather like, and what should I bring?

The Riviera enjoys Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers. Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and comfortable walking shoes for Monaco's steep streets. A light layer is useful for air-conditioned vehicles and evening breezes.

Is this tour suitable for families with children?

Yes, though the 8-hour duration and walking involved suit older children (8+) best. Pushchairs are impractical in Monaco's old town; your guide can suggest family-friendly highlights and restaurants.

Not bad but not great, a stop the guide added on the fly we like but 6 stops in about 3 hours only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our guide Sofia had so many stories and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight, and handy if youre short on time, and ran the full 4 hours promised.

our guide Giulia sorted everything for us and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar tour we tried in Phuket, tbh
