Private Tours from Monaco

[HarpHarp]

I'm looking at two tours from Monaco

1.From Dream Tours
The Dream tours driver will give you a fast tour of Monaco and will take the direction of St Paul de Vence: Tour of the medieval village built against the South Alps and famous all around the world for its beauty and also for its artistic influence and its numerous art galleries.
Then we will go to Nice and to the Promenade des Anglais. Tour of the old city and of its famous flowers market where you will have time to have lunch.
Stop at Eze to admire the unbelievable outlook of Villefranche. Optional Free guided tour of perfumes and cosmetics factory

In Monaco , we will stop at Le Rocher, after having seen the outlook of all the principality. Promenade in the old city. Available visit of the Prince’s Palace, the Cathedral or the extraordinary oceanographic museum.
Then, tour of the city, its beach and the Grand Prix circuit. Free time at the Casino’s square where you will have time for shopping at the « Carré d’Or » or to take your chance at the famous Casino of Monte Carlo and admire the famous Hotel de Paris

2. from Exclusive Riviera Tours

Drive to CANNES via the highway, visit the famous seaside boulevard “La Croisette” and stop to take photos on the famous “red carpet” where the film festival is held every May.
Followed by, ANTIBES, Picasso’s town and its gorgeous peninsula, the Cape of Antibes, where movie stars stay during the Cannes film festival. Drive through the old town, with its Provencal open- air market and its billionaire pier which welcomes the world’s largest and fanciest yachts.
Then, SAINT PAUL DE VENCE, visit the medieval hilltop village that attracts so many artists and actors. From a bastion above the ramparts, overlooking the village cemetery (where Chagall is buried), you’ll find a superb view of the Maritime Alps and the Esterel mountains to the west of Cannes. Within the village walls are a multitude of art galleries, shops with regional crafts and charming homes on side streets with beautiful flowers abound.
NICE "Queen of the Riviera", visit the Castel Hill with its breathtaking view from above the city and drive along the famous boulevard, La Promenade des Anglais…
Next, EZE Village via the famous “Moyenne Corniche”, visit the medieval gem known as the Eagle’s Nest of the Riviera which offers an incredible view of the Mediterranean Sea.
If you wish, you can visit a perfume factory to discover the secret of making perfumes and cosmetics, the latter with a free guide who speaks your language.

And, MONTE-CARLO/MONACO, stop at the golden square with its world-famous casino, the Hotel de Paris, the gardens and then the Formula One Grand-Prix racing route. Visit the charming old town of Monaco, see the changing of the guard at the Palace (only at 11:55 am) and the cathedral where Princess Grace and Prince Rainier are buried.
Back to your cruise ship

We also had Dream Tours on 9 July 2012, but we had Fred. He was very good, took us where we wanted to go, very friendly. He also gave alot of information along the way.

I am also looking for a tour guide to take us to Eze, St Paul & Villa de Rothschild. We will be in port in Monaco on August 1. I'm in a wheelchair but my husband is with me. I can't decide if I should just try to enjoy Monaco & forgo an excursion....but I'd love to see the view of the Mediterranean from a higher elevation. Any other tour companies that people might recommend?

Thanks so much!

If you decide to do an excursion, you can customize your tour with most reputable companies(use the 'search' for other company recommendations) 1/2 day tours are also an option. The Villa Ephrussi gardens are great for flower enthusiasts, the rose gardens are lovely. The villages could be a challenge with a wheelchair, check online or with the tour company about how w.chair friendly they are plus I would suggest choosing either Eze or StPaul. You could also visit the market in Nice then return to Monaco by way of the look outs above Monaco, the views of Monaco from the route to La Turbie are fabulous. If you forgo a tour & choose to DIY Monaco, they have great websites to research info...book your tickets online for entry to the Palace Visit, museums etc.. this will save you from waiting.
Have a great visit

OMG I have been searching for Sylvie for about 6 weeks; we used her for a private tour in 2007 and she was absolutely fantastic!!!! She even went with my husband to a druggist to translate his symptoms (he had a nasty cold) to get something for him to get some relief. Talk about going above & beyond!

At any rate, we are planning a return trip and my memory isn't as good as it used to be so I was so thrilled ........recognized her name as soon as I saw it here...........and even happier that she's still in the business!
