From Nice: Monaco & Eze Guided Tour in Electric Convertible

Imagine cruising along the stunning French Riviera in a sleek, fully electric convertible SUV, feeling the salty breeze and soaking in panoramic views of the Mediterranean. That’s exactly what this 7-hour private tour offers, with a carefully curated itinerary that takes you from Nice to Monaco, the legendary Monaco Grand Prix circuit, picturesque Eze village, and charming seaside towns. For just $451 per group of up to four people, you get a personalized experience filled with spectacular scenery, cultural highlights, and secret spots that larger tours often miss.

Two things we particularly love about this experience are the flexibility of driving your own electric car—which adds a fun, engaging element—and the mix of guided sightseeing and free time. You can enjoy the thrill of steering your own vehicle, all while having authentic moments exploring Monaco’s harbor and the medieval streets of Eze. However, keep in mind that it’s not suitable for children under 6 or drivers under 21, so this tour is best suited for those who are comfortable behind the wheel or happy to follow a guide.

A possible consideration is that this tour might require some on-road patience, especially in Monaco’s busy traffic, but the guide’s calm guidance helps keep things smooth. Also, the price doesn’t include some extras like parking fees in Monaco, or the exotic garden in Eze, which adds a small additional cost. This experience is perfect for travelers craving more than just a bus ride—those wanting an authentic, fun, and scenic adventure along the French coast.

If you love scenic drives, cultural discoveries, and the freedom of exploring at your own pace, this tour will suit you well. It’s especially ideal for small groups or families who want to make the most of their day with personalized attention and memorable views.
