Monaco, Monte-Carlo Casino & Old Town Panoramas
A 2-hour introduction to Monaco: the Monte-Carlo casino quarter, the old town of Monaco-Ville, and panoramic views over the Mediterranean.
Overview

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 up to 3 guests, or a van for 4–6 guests (additional fees apply — for larger groups, Pacôme will follow up with a custom quote). 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.
How much walking is involved?
This is a walking-based experience through pedestrian streets and, in some cases, stepped lanes. 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. Reach out with any specific requests before booking.
