Private: A Taste of the Italian Riviera from Monaco

What your day looks like

Designed for adults and children, the Taste of the Italian Riviera full day tour is an opportunity to experience a totally different Mediterranean culture just minutes away from the French border, a perfect day trip from Monaco. Spend the day discovering the “other” Riviera, just across the border in bella Italia. Stretching from the eastern province of Genoa to Ventimiglia, the Ponant Riviera was once seen as a continuation of the French Riviera, while the seaside resort of Bordighera attracted royalty from all over Europe. Explore the elegant coastline, with its collection of stunning 19th century villas, hotels and gardens, then drive into the backcountry to visit the picturesque perched Medieval village of Dolceacqua, with its famous arched stone bridge that enchanted Monet. Discover the region’s gastronomy as you shop for Ligurian specialties in a food market in Sanremo, Ventimiglia, or Bordighera, then return towards France, optionally stopping in the sun-drenched town of Menton—renowned for its annual citrus festival—for a guided walk through its beautiful 19th-century gardens or a stroll through the narrow streets of its charming old town.
