Got 4 hours? Spend them exploring the charming seaside town of Villafranche. Peruse the Old Harbor, visit a historic villa, or scope out panoramic views from Castle Hill.

Private Vehicle - Half Day

Nestled between the iconic cities of Nice and Monaco lies Villafranche, a lightly populated town with one of the deepest natural harbors in the Mediterranean Sea. Explore this seaside gem in a private, air-conditioned car with your very own tour driver, as you spend time seeing exactly what you want to see. Soak in the medieval atmosphere in the alleyways of the Old Town and walk the 130 meter long (426 feet) Rue Obscure, a street that used to be part of the 13th century defensive town wall where locals would hide from invaders.

You can also head down to the bay with its pebbly beach and enjoy some local seafood, or visit the abandoned 16th century Chapelle Sainte Pierre, where French poet and artist Jean Cocteau wrote Orphee in the 1920s. Photography buffs will want to visit Castle Hill and the Citadel with its stunning views overlooking the bay.

This private tour is perfect for those who are short on time yet want to make the most of their time while in Villefranche. Book now.
