4. Gaze upon the Prince's Palace of Monaco, perched on a rock jutting into the sea. This regal home, with its storied past stands as the jewel of the Principality of Monaco. Although we won't be stepping inside its luxurious halls, which are open to visitors from April to October for those who wish to explore its opulent interiors, there's still much to admire from the outside. Every day at 11:55 am, a tradition unfolds before your eyes: the Changing of the Guards. While you absorb the magnificence of the palace and the ceremonial event, I will share tales of its history and the royalty who have called it home. The palace not only encapsulates the essence of Monaco's luxury but also stands as a living piece of history that continues to enchant and captivate those who come to see its wonders.

You won't just see the place where she is buried; you will feel the legacy of her grace and the love she inspired that continues to linger over the principality. Standing before the cathedral will give you a moment to reflect on the life of a woman who was an icon of her era, a cherished princess, and to this day, a symbol of timeless elegance.

• 5Memorable day, for all the right reasons

  The cruise my husband and I were on changed its port itinerary from Monaco/Monte Carlo to Villefranche-ser-Mer, France. I had really set my hopes on going to Monaco, so when the cruise stop fell through, I contacted this tour company to see what they could arrange. They were very understanding of my desire to see Monte Carlo and went above and beyond to make it work. (The eGrand Prix was taking place on the day that we would be visiting, which was a significant event the tour guide had to work around.) The tour far exceeded our expectations; my husband and I truly enjoyed every minute of it. Our tour guide Mago was very friendly, helpful, informative, and accommodating, and his mastery of the English language was excellent. In addition to taking us to see Monaco, Mago also took us to numerous other sites that made our trip to the French Riviera so memorable. I'm so glad we went with this tour company, and I highly recommend them.

  We had a fantastic tour of Eze and Monaco with Mago. He catered the entire experience to our family of four and did an amazing job engaging our kids. They learned so much, and he has a wonderful way of bringing history to life in a fun and interactive way. Mago paced the tour perfectly, kept the kids involved, and shared great stories that made the stops in Eze and Monaco memorable for both adults and children. Our kids were genuinely interested the whole time, which is not easy to do. Highly recommend, especially for families.

About Nice

Nice is the sunny capital of the French Riviera, where a palm-lined promenade curves along a blue bay and a pastel old town buzzes with markets.

The Promenade des Anglais follows the Baie des Anges for kilometres, with pebble beaches and the turquoise sea on one side and grand hotels on the other. Vieux Nice, the old town, is a maze of narrow lanes, Baroque churches and ochre façades, and the Cours Saleya hosts a flower and produce market.
