As the tour is private, your itinerary is flexible and your guide will adapt the tour to your personal preferences.First, head to Eze. Take a stroll through the old town with your guide. This old village is huddled around a substantial medieval fortress, with rocks and houses of similar hues blending into each other.
Afterwards, your guide will take you to the Fragonard perfume factory near the town of Eze. It offers you the opportunity to learn all the stages of perfume production. Make sure you enter the factory shop, where you can buy your unique perfume (own expense).
Then move on to the city of Nice. You will drive across the Promenade des Anglais. This wide promenade, facing south and flanking the sea, provides wonderful views of the Baie des Anges and a popular place for a lengthy stroll. The guide will show you the famous architectural buildings located on the Promenade des Anglais: Hotel Negresco, the Massena Museum or Mediterranean Palace. You will stop in front of the Old Town near the Apolonia monument on the Square Massena.
Take a stroll through the old town. The visit begins on the Cours Saleya with its various small and cozy shops and restaurants. This elegant Baroque square is well-known for its flower and vegetable market. At the wine cellar Bianchi, you will enjoy a tasting of the best Provence wines and the professional sommelier will tell you how to determine the quality of the wines.
Then visit the Cathedrale Ste-Reparate built in 1650 by local architect JA. Gilberto in honour of Nice's patron. The cathedral is topped by a 18 century dell tower and tiles that stand out on the Nice skyline. There will also be some free time during which you can take pictures or buy souvenirs.
Afterwards, your next stop is the Chateau de Cremat, erected amidst the lush vineyards of Bellet, just few minutes from downtown Nice. The castle is ideally located, 25 km from Monaco and Cannes, and thus, rather popular with wine lovers who come here to sample the fine liquors of the region. Chateau de Cremat winery offers wine, champagne and liquor tasting, as well as guided visits.
The tour finishes as your guide drops you off at your port of call.
