Suggested Day Trips from Nice
Nice's location makes it the perfect gateway to explore the spectacular coastal villages and inland gems of the French Riviera. A private coach offers the flexibility and comfort needed to enjoy these excursions without any of the logistical headaches.
Coastal Glamour: Cannes and Saint Paul de Vence
A popular full-day itinerary combines the internationally renowned city of Cannes with the charming hilltop village of Saint Paul de Vence. In Cannes, your group can see the famous Palais des Festivals where the film festival takes place and stroll along the famous La Croisette boulevard. Afterwards, head inland to Saint Paul de Vence, a picturesque fortified village known for its art galleries. Since the old village is pedestrianised, your coach will deliver you to the entrance, and you can enjoy exploring the quaint stone streets and ramparts before your driver conveniently collects you again for the return journey to Nice.
Royal History and Coastal Views: Eze, Monaco and Monte Carlo
This is arguably the most famous day trip from Nice and is easily covered by private coach, offering a perfect blend of medieval history and modern glamour. You can start with the perched village of Eze, a medieval eagle’s nest offering spectacular views. Since the village itself is accessed on foot, your driver will park and wait while you explore the exotic gardens or visit the Fragonard Perfumery. Then, your group can be driven to the Principality of Monaco, where the coach will drop you at the mandatory parking areas. From there, you can explore the historic Monaco-Ville (The Rock) and the opulent casinos of Monte Carlo on foot, before your driver meets you for the relaxing drive back to Nice.
The Artistic and Elegant side of the Riviera: Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
For a half-day excursion focused on elegance and art, a visit to the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild on Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat is a must. This stunning palatial residence is surrounded by nine magnificent gardens overlooking the sea, offering a perfect, tranquil retreat from the city buzz. By using a private minibus or coach, you can manage the limited parking and access on the Cap-Ferrat peninsula effortlessly. Our service ensures direct, convenient access so your group can maximise their time exploring the spectacular grounds and interiors, returning to Nice refreshed and on schedule.

FAQ: Coach Hire in Nice
Is coach hire suitable for visiting Nice’s main attractions?
Yes, coach hire is the best way to manage transfers to and from Nice and to reach destinations along the Riviera. While many central Nice attractions like the Vieux Nice (Old Town) and the Promenade des Anglais are best explored on foot, your private coach can drop you at the most convenient location to start your walking tour. The coach is essential for reaching must-see sites like the Russian Orthodox Cathedral (Saint-Nicolas), the Musée Matisse, or the Musée Chagall, which are slightly outside the immediate city centre, as well as for transfers to the Place Masséna.
What happens if our flight into Nice Côte d’Azur (NCE) is delayed?
Do not worry; we are highly experienced in handling flight delays. We continuously monitor your flight status. If your flight is delayed, we simply adapt by having the driver wait for the group. If the delay is very significant, we will change drivers to comply with French driving regulations, but your group will never be left without transport. We will keep your group leader informed of any changes immediately.
Will the driver know where to meet our group in Nice?
Absolutely. We always inform the group leader of the exact, pre-determined meeting point before booking, which will depend on whether you are at the airport, a hotel, or a cruise port. The driver is given this precise information eight days before the trip, allowing them ample time to study the location and route. We pride ourselves on the fact that your driver will know exactly where to find you, ensuring a smooth and punctual start to your service.
Can we use the coach for multiple short stops and sightseeing in the Nice area?
Yes, our service is perfect for this. When you hire a coach for a full day, it is dedicated to your group’s itinerary. This allows you to visit multiple stops, such as the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild in the morning and a winery in the afternoon. The driver manages all the complex local driving and parking, allowing you to focus completely on your sightseeing.
Is it complicated to arrange transport for a cruise ship shore excursion from Villefranche-sur-Mer?
It is simple with our service. Since Villefranche is a popular tender port for cruise lines, we are experts at coordinating seamless pick-ups from the dockside area. Even though your cruise documentation might say "Nice," we understand the actual logistics. We liaise with you beforehand to ensure a clear meeting procedure, making the transition from the ship to your private coach effortless, so you can start your tailored shore excursion to Monaco or Cannes immediately.
