Italian Escape Private Tour

Highlights

Start your morning with pick-up from your centrally located Nice hotel and soak up the scenery as you drive through the French Riviera in a private vehicle. After crossing the border into Italy, continue along the coastal road and admire the views along the Italian Riviera, with its sun-soaked beaches and colorful fishing villages clinging to the sea cliffs. Make the most of your tailor-made itinerary to visit the places that interest you most. Perhaps head to glamorous San Remo and discover why it’s nicknamed ‘the Monte Carlo of Italy’, or dine at one of the renowned seafood restaurants in Ventimiglia. If you’re visiting on a Tuesday, Friday or Saturday, be sure to explore the open-air markets, where the goods on sale range from delicious artisan foods to quality leather items and exquisite handicrafts. When it’s time to head back, opt for the scenic route along the High Corniche road and make a stop in the French Riviera town of Menton. You’ll have just enough time to stroll around the medieval Old Town and snap some photos of the impressive views, which span the Mediterranean coast and neighboring Monaco. After a full-day adventure, arrive back in Nice, where your tour ends with a drop-off at your hotel.

Why take this tour?

Discover the « Italian Riviera »,located between the sea and the mountains. Pass by Bordighera: a famous sea side resort which panorama extends toward the Principality of Monaco and Cannes, revealing its luxurious mansions adorned by orange trees and its historical center. Then follow your escape toward Dolceacqua, along the Nervia river, step over it by an old footbridge painted a hundred time by Monnet. Dive immediately centuries ago, through medieval architecture. Afterward, appreciate our suggestion’s lunch and maybe taste the “Rossese” (local wine), speciality of the village (not included). Then, no time for a nap, an other valley is expecting you to proudly introduce you one of the most beautiful Italian village: Apricale.
