Riviera, Your Way

Not in the mood for a fixed itinerary? No problem. We can simply place a car and driver at your disposal for the day. Whether you fancy a little shopping spree, a long lazy lunch, or even a detour to visit friends ashore – it’s entirely up to you. Think of it as your own private stage on the Riviera, with the freedom to improvise.

Frequently asked questions

1-Arrow Up

Yes, absolutely. Every shore excursion is designed with your cruise schedule in mind. We monitor ship timetables, plan with generous buffers, and keep things smooth and stress-free. You’ll be back with time to spare — no sprinting down the pier required

Intimate and civilised. Most of our tours run with 4 to 7 guests — just enough for conversation, never enough for cattle-herding. Private options are available if you prefer your own pace and playlist

We meet you just outside the port — a short, easy walk from your ship. You’ll receive clear instructions, a map, and even a photo of the meeting spot. No guesswork, no wandering

Our pace is gentle, not gym-worthy. Expect light strolling on mostly flat ground, with occasional cobblestones or steps. We always adapt where possible — just let us know your comfort level

Yes — but think stories and secrets, not lectures and flags. You’ll get the history, the hidden corners, and the cultural context… with room for coffee breaks, photos, and quiet enjoyment

Some tours include tastings — details will be in the itinerary. Otherwise, we point you to excellent local spots where you can dine like you actually live there

Our tours are in English, French or Russian, delivered with a warm accent and a twist of humour

We carry on unless the weather turns dramatic. A bit of drizzle won’t stop us — and often makes the colours richer. For serious storms, we’ll offer a refund or alternative plan

Booking is simple and secure — just follow the link or message us directly. We accept cash, credit cards and bank transfers. No hidden fees, no mystery surcharges — just a good day, fairly priced

Of course. Whether you’re travelling as a couple, a family, or a happy introvert, private tours are a wonderful way to explore at your own rhythm. We tailor everything to suit your time, interests, and tempo
