Coastal boat tour from Villefranche-Sur-Mer to Monaco

2.Coastal boat tour from Villefranche-Sur-Mer to Monaco

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 50 reviews

Cruise from Villefranche-sur-Mer toward Monaco and back, passing Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Èze-sur-Mer and Cap-d’Ail. A sailor gives live commentary in French and English, while you take in the coast from a boat with seating in sun and shade. The two-hour trip depends on favorable weather, and a closer look at Monaco’s Port Hercule is possible only with port permission.

“This was an extremely good value trip on a beautiful boat. There was loads of space and places to either shade or sun and the views were fabulous. Lovely to see the places you miss when on land. The trip into Monaco port was great and the fast sail back exhilarating. Thank you to the trip hosts 😀”

“Fantastic experience! We booked this tour privately rather than through the cruise ship we traveled with and our experience was wonderful! Our guide met us right at the dock and immediately walked us to a clean and comfortable van. The tour was amazing. Our guide spoke wonderful English and was full of information about Nice, Eze and Monaco. She constructed the tour based upon our wishes and had great advice about areas to get the best pictures, where to shop, and eat. The best part of a private car/van tour is that the drivers can take you right up to the entrance of the siters, no parking a bus far…”
