Overview

Designed for cruise guests calling at Villefranche-sur-Mer: I meet you steps from the tender pier and we make the most of your day ashore, the eagle's-nest village of Eze, Monaco's Monte-Carlo quarter, and Nice if time allows, before an unhurried, guaranteed return to the port well ahead of your all-aboard time.

Stops on This Journey

  • 01

    Villefranche-sur-Mer, your tender pier

    I meet you right by the cruise tender landing with the vehicle ready. We confirm your all-aboard time together and build the day around it.

    Meeting point and timing are reconfirmed by WhatsApp the day before your call.

  • 02

    Eze

    Ten minutes up the Moyenne Corniche, the medieval village of Eze and its lanes, viewpoints and artisan shops, at their quietest in the morning.

    Entrance to the Jardin Exotique d'Èze is not included, €10 per person, payable on-site.

  • 03

    Monaco & Monte-Carlo

    The belle-époque casino quarter, the Place du Casino and the Principality's Mediterranean terraces, with time for lunch where the day's rhythm suggests it.

  • 04

    Nice, time permitting

    If your ship's schedule allows, we finish with Nice's Old Town and the Promenade des Anglais before an easy drive back to Villefranche.

    Guaranteed return to the tender pier at least 45 minutes before your all-aboard time.

Good to know

Will I be back on time for my ship?

Yes, this is the golden rule of the day. We confirm your all-aboard time at the start, I plan the route backwards from it, and you are returned to the Villefranche tender pier at least 45 minutes before.

How is pricing structured?

The price shown is for the private experience as a whole, not per person, you and your group are with Pacôme exclusively for its full duration. Groups above 15 guests (up to 30 max) are quoted at double the base price.

Is transportation included?

Transportation is included: a free all-electric vehicle for 2 adults and 1 child. Transportation itself is free; only the public parking is charged: €50 per group (€50 per day, one day), added to your online payment. There is no parking fee with the chauffeur-driven van. For larger groups, a Mercedes V-Class van with a professional driver, through Pacôme's partner (up to 6 guests, 6 cabin bags and 6 checked bags), is available at a fixed price of €750 per van, with no parking fee. Pickup from your hotel, Airbnb, or a central Nice meeting point can be arranged under the same conditions. Let's confirm the details together when you send your enquiry.

Is lunch included?

Lunch is not included by default, but Pacôme is happy to recommend or arrange a table that fits the day's route and your preferences.

How much walking is involved?

Full-day experiences combine walking through old towns and villages with time in the vehicle between stops. Let Pacôme know in advance if the pace needs adjusting for anyone in your group.

Can the itinerary be adjusted?

Yes, every experience can be adapted to your interests, pace and mobility, and its length can flex shorter or longer around your group's needs. Reach out with any specific requests before booking.
