Cannes to Monaco Day Trip
A Cannes to Monaco day trip on either of these two tours covers the same three places: the perched village of Èze, the Old Town of Monaco and Monte-Carlo. One is a small shared group of up to 8; the other is a private van for your own group. Here is what each price covers, and which one to book.
Quick answer
The short answer. For a first Cannes to Monaco day trip, book the shared tour at $147 per person: 8 hours, a group of no more than 8, a guided perfumery visit in Èze and time on your own at Casino Square, rated 4.8. Travelling as 7 or 8? The private trip at $964 per group, up to 8 people costs your group less in total.

Two tours, side by side
Two ways to do a Cannes to Monaco day trip
Same three stops, different group. Lengths and ratings are the live listing figures.
| Tour | Price | Length | Group | Guide | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shared small-group tour | $147 per person | 8 hours | Shared, up to 8 people | English, French | 4.8 · 64 |

The shared tour
The small-group day: three stops and a perfumery
The better-rated way to see Monaco from Cannes, in a group of no more than 8.
The shared Cannes to Monaco day trip is the better rated of the two: 4.8 from 64 reviews, at $147 per person. The group is limited to 8 participants, so it is a minivan, not a coach, and a live guide speaks English and French. Pickup is included; the listing gives the details when you check availability.
As a day trip from Cannes, it is a long one: 8 hours door to door. The route climbs to Mont Boron for a view over Nice, stops in Èze, then gives you Monaco and Monte-Carlo before the coast road home. The listing caps each minivan at two languages, so the commentary stays focused.
Stop by stop
The shared tour, in the order you travel
The listing gives the route but not the clock, so here it is in order.
- Mont Boron
The first stop is a panoramic view over Nice from the hill of Mont Boron.
- Èze on the Middle Corniche
A medieval village perched above the sea, with crafts shops and a wide panorama.
- A guided perfumery visit
In Èze you tour a traditional perfumery with a guide. The listing calls it the essence of Provence.
- The Old Town of Monaco
You get time to visit the Palace. Entry is at your own expense.
- Monte-Carlo and Casino Square
A drive along the Grand Prix circuit, then time on your own among the gardens, superyachts and casinos.
- The Lower Corniche home
Back along the coast between Monaco and Nice, past harbours and marinas, with the Bay and Citadel of Villefranche, then Cannes.
The private trip
The private van: your group, your guide, your pace
One price for the whole van, so the more of you there are, the better it adds up.
The private Cannes to Monaco day trip costs $964 per group, up to 8 people and runs 7 hours. A driver or representative meets you holding a sign with your name and takes you to an air-conditioned van. Nobody else joins, and the guide speaks English, French, Spanish or Portuguese. It is rated 4.5 from 31 reviews.
The stops match the shared day. Èze sits like an eagle’s nest on top of a cliff, with a perfumery visit. In Monaco the listing promises views over the Mediterranean and a town full of history; in Monte-Carlo, the Casino, the Opera, grand villas and the streets of the Grand Prix.
The listing describes it as starting from the Cannes port and calls it a shore excursion. Travelling with a baby? Infant seats are available if you request them when you book.
Shared seats or the whole van
What your group pays in total, shared or private
Shared seats are $147 per person; the private trip is one price for up to 8. Totals below are simple multiplication.
| Group | Shared tour | Private trip | Lower total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 people | $294 in total | $964 in total | Shared tour |
| 4 people | $588 in total | $964 in total | Shared tour |
| 6 people | $882 in total | $964 in total | Shared tour |
| 7 people | $1,029 in total | $964 in total | Private trip |
| 8 people | $1,176 in total | $964 in total | Private trip |
The arithmetic
Where the private van starts to win
Up to 6 people, the shared tour is the lower total. At 7 the private van costs less, and at 8 it works out at $120.50 each, below the $147 shared seat. So a Cannes to Monaco day trip for a family or a group of friends is often the private one.
Remember the trade: the shared tour is an hour longer and the better rated, while the private one gives you more languages and the van to yourselves. Check child prices on the listing before you book.
Before you book
Five things to check before a Cannes to Monaco day trip
A few minutes now saves a wasted day later.
- Arriving on a cruise ship?
The shared tour is not suited to cruise passengers and has no cruise-port pickup. See our shore excursion guide.
- Keep the next day open
If the shared tour does not reach its minimum group, it is moved or cancelled. The listing asks you to have the next day ready.
- Give exact contact details
The shared tour asks for your exact e-mail address and phone number when you book.
- Budget for the Palace
On the shared tour, the Palace visit in Monaco is at your own expense.
- Pick your language
Shared: English or French, at most two per minivan. Private: also Spanish or Portuguese.
Our verdict
Which Monaco tour to book
Book the shared tour. If you take one Cannes to Monaco day trip, make it the $147 per person small-group day: the best rating, the longest day and a group of 8 at most.
Seven or eight of you, or a cruise to fit around? The private trip at $964 per group, up to 8 people is the lower total for a full van and starts from the Cannes port.
