Included Tours: (Subject to change)
* Nice: This city sits on the French Riviera; it is the 2nd most visited place in France after Paris with over 4 million visitors every year. The promenade is named the Promenade des Anglais” (meaning walkway of the English). Spend time on the beach, visit the fashionable shops or take a gentle stroll
* Dolceaqua (Medieval Village) & Menton – Option of a traditional Italian lunch with local specialities and local wine.
Dolceacqua village is a few kilometres inland from the Mediterranean coast, in the Nervia valley at the western end of Liguria (north-west Italy) and a short distance north of coastal Ventimiglia – so very close to the border with France. With ancient stone houses on narrow paved alleys, an attractive humpback bridge over a scenic river and a castle overlooking the village Dolceacqua makes an enjoyable excursion from the Riviera di Ponente and the busy Ligurian coast. Dolceacqua is also known for the olives which are grown in abundance in the region, the locally grown flowers, and a decent red wine called Rossese produced from grapes grown in the surrounding hills.
Last stop on the Côte d’Azur before Italy, the seaside town of Menton offers a glimpse of what the high life on the Riviera must have been like before the developers moved in. With its sunny climate, shady streets and pastel mansions – not to mention a lovely old port – it’s one of the most attractive towns on the entire coast. Menton’s old town is a cascade of pastel-coloured buildings. Add a fantastic museum dedicated to the great artist and film director Jean Cocteau, as well as several excellent restaurants, and Menton really is a must.
Optional Tours (Subject to change)
* Monaco/Monte Carlo: Monaco is the second smallest country (by size) in the world, only the Vatican is smaller. The old city sits on a rocky promontory extending in the Mediterranean known as the rock at Monaco. See the church where Prince Rainer married Grace Kelly and watch the changing of the guards. The people at Monaco pay no income tax (Lucky Them) and attract a considerable number of tax refugees. It is also famous for the Grand Prix.
In the afternoon we visit nearby Monte Carlo known for its casino where you might see someone famous. It is one of the largest tourist resorts; see how the rich and famous live. A day not to be missed
There will also be free time for you to explore Diano Marina or spend leisure time around the outdoor swimming pool.
