What To Expect
Meet your guide at the cruise terminal once your ship docks in Monaco, where you'll board a luxury minibus and begin your small-group shore excursion. Choose a morning or afternoon departure.
Leaving Monaco behind, ascend one of the scenic Mediterranean coastal roads to reach the town of Eze. It's perched at roughly 1,400 feet (427 meters) in the hills, and offers wonderful views of the French Riviera below. Take some time to admire the historic streets of this Medieval village, browsing charming shops and galleries. Go on a guided tour of the Fragonard perfume factory to learn about the art and science of creating high-end scents.
Begin the drive back down toward Monaco, passing the quaint town of La Turbie on the way. It's sometimes referred to as the 'Terrace of Monaco,' and is home to a 1st-century BC Roman monument called the Trophy of the Alps (Trophée des Alpes) which was built by Emperor Augustus.
Arriving in Monaco once again, you'll now have a chance to explore this unique principality. It's the second-smallest country on earth, though it feels very French. Those on the morning tour will get to witness the Changing of the Guard ceremony at the Prince's Palace (Palais Princier), which happens every day at 11:55am.
Spend some time at the Monaco Cathedral, where Princess Grace and Prince Rainier are both buried, to hear about the principality's history. Next, drive along the city streets which make up the Formula One Grand Prix racing circuit. It's one of the most famous race courses in the world, and the event is extremely popular with auto racing fans.
Walk through Monte Carlo to see the extravagance on display in and around Casino Square, including manicured gardens, luxurious hotels and expensive cars. It's an excellent spot for people-watching.
At the conclusion of your tour, you'll be returned to the cruise terminal.

A little high pressure from the ladies selling the parfume, but otherwise a fantastic excursion with tons of information!!
I would not recommend the tour because of the perfume factory portion taking your time.

Nice tour, time allocations were misguided.
GEORGE_L, Oct 2022
Great tour. Not enough time in Eze. It was rushed.
Way too much time at the perfume factory. It was really just a stop for shopping. A waste of time from my perspective.
All's well that ends well
Peter_L, Jul 2022
It was a very enjoyable experience . Ben was verygood . The only problem arose from the meeting because when we went on the original tender it landed at La Darse while Ben was at the Marina entrance to the terminal. . He was not aware that this area had been designated by the ship's tours. In future passengers should be directed to the main terminal not |La Darse to avoid confusion
Tour of Monaco, Eze, Fragonard
Laurette_M, Jun 2022
Eze was very interesting as was the Fragonard tour. We had a lot of time on our own which we appreciated.
Fantastic tour in a stunning place
Glen_G, May 2022
Our guide, Zara, was the best! She had so much energy and knowledge, she made this one of our favorite excursions. I didn't think I'd like the parfumerie, but it was interesting and reasonable if you chose to buy. Eze is so charming and Monaco is stunningly beautiful. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the highlites but not be in a tour all day.
It was a great day and a wonderful way of spending time in Monaco and Monte Carlo!
Kenneth_L, Apr 2022
We truly enjoyed our day tour visiting Ezze, touring the Perfume factory, witnessing the changing of the guards in Monaco and our free time in Monte Carlo.
Our driver Ben was great.
A disappointing experience
Donna_R, Apr 2022
We were booked on a half day tour of Monaco. I received several emails with the tour time at 8:30am including a text message with a voucher saying 8:30 the day before the tour. The tour guide was not there at 8:30am, we waited 20 minutes then got back on the ship and tried to call the local company. After help from the ship concierge he reached someone and the tour was scheduled at 9am. We were able to join the tour, but had not apology for the miscommunication. The tour guide was poor, hard to hear in the van, dropped us off at the sites and left us for an hour, did not return when she said she would, gave not information about what to see in the area. I would not schedule a tour with Viator again. We scheduled another tour in Ajaccio and received an email less than 24 hours before that the tour was cancelled due to no English speaking guide.

Very informative tour
Natasha_A, Mar 2022
Heidy was very informative. She had many stories to tell about each site we visited. I got to see a lot of beautiful and historical sceneries. She was however a bit too fast for me, a lot of information in a limited time and the tour was kind of rushed .
Your perfect plan for a half-day in Monaco
Lilia_P, Dec 2021
The tour was really nice. We were very tired of walking so this tour sounded great since you are moving on a van and also walking. We visited the most iconic places of Monaco and Monte Carlo and the small village of Eze plus a perfumery.
Excellent Excursion
Kenneth_S, Nov 2019
My wife and I enjoyed every minute of our tour above and beyond Monaco into neighboring France and and back into Monaco. We gained a much broader perspective and learned the history. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Jan 2020
We are happy to know that the half day tour to Monaco was a great and interesting experience for you and your wife.
Thank you for your feedback !

Monaco and Eze
David A, Nov 2019
Eze is well worth seeing. Enjoyed going there. Skip the perfume factory if you can. Saw as much of Monaco we could see in a short amount of time. I would recommend this tour.
