Are you tired of the predictable tourist trail? Designed specifically for cruise passengers and discerning travelers, this exclusive day trip takes you off the beaten path to explore the « Secret Riviera. »
While others crowd the markets of Ventimiglia or the busy streets of San Remo, you will be immersed in the true, quiet magic of the Italian coast and its hidden medieval valleys.
Instead of the crowded commercial centers, we take you to the places that inspired masters like Claude Monet:
Dolceacqua: A Medieval Marvel. Cross the iconic 15th-century « humpback » bridge and lose yourself in the Carrugi—cool, winding stone lanes filled with artisan workshops and the towering ruins of the Doria Castle.
Bordighera: The Belle Époque Gem. Once the winter playground for European royalty, Bordighera offers elegant gardens, vibrant architecture, and a refined atmosphere that feels like a step back in time.
Rolling Landscapes: Between stops, unwind as we drive through hills draped in silver olive groves and ancient vineyards, soaking in panoramic views of the Mediterranean.
We don’t just take the highway back. We transform your return into a sightseeing spectacular:
Menton (The Lemon City): We stop in France’s most colorful town, famous for its golden citrus and pastel-washed Old Town. It is the perfect spot for a final Italian-inspired gelato.
The Grande Corniche: Prepare for the drive of a lifetime. We ascend the highest coastal road in France, offering breathtaking 180° views over Monaco, Eze, and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. From this height, the Mediterranean looks like a shimmering sapphire.
| The Stop | The Experience |
| Dolceacqua | Explore the castle ruins and visit the spot where Monet painted his « Jewel of Lightness. » |
| Bordighera | Stroll the aristocratic palm-lined promenades and colorful gardens. |
| Optional Tasting | Indulge in local Rossese wine and traditional Ligurian digestives in a secret Dolceacqua cellar. |
| Panoramic Finale | Experience the « Grande Corniche, » the world’s most scenic coastal balcony. |
« Why see the Riviera through a bus window when you can live it like a local? Join us for a day where the border is invisible, but the beauty is unforgettable. »

Embark on an awe-inspiring private tour, starting with the enchanting medieval village of Eze perched on a hill with an exotic garden, followed by the hidden gem of Peille at over 600 meters above sea level, featuring medieval chapels, a 17th-century palace, and Gothic fountains, and concluding at Sainte-Agnès, Europe’s highest coastal village, offering breathtaking Mediterranean panoramas, medieval streets, castle remains, and a historic fort along the Maginot Line.
The French and Italian Riviera in one holiday may sound decadent, but the Italian border is only 40 minutes from Nice so it would be a shame not to indulge ! Most visitors head to Ventimiglia or San Remo to see the basic markets, but they generally miss the Italian Riviera’s true gems.
