An Eze private tour from Nice usually takes 4 to 6 hours door to door if you focus on the village. You travel with your own chauffeur and vehicle, walk the lanes at your pace, and skip fixed coach timetables. Driving from central Nice to Eze village takes about 20 to 30 minutes each way in normal traffic.
Kosy Limousine picks you up at your Nice hotel, Villefranche, or Nice Cote d’Azur Airport (NCE). We agree the route and timing before the day starts, then return you to the same address or continue east toward Monaco if you book a longer day.

Half-day vs full-day Eze tours
| Half-day | Full-day | |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 4 to 5 hours | 7 to 8 hours |
| Best for | Eze village and Fragonard only | Eze plus Monaco or longer time on the corniche |
| Typical depart Nice | 9:00 or 13:30 | 9:00, return around 17:00 |
| Driving distance | About 40 to 60 km | About 100 to 140 km if Monaco is added |
| Pace | Old town, viewpoints, perfume factory | Above plus Monte Carlo or extra photo stops |
A half-day suits visitors who want a perched village and sea views without a long drive inland. A full-day works if you want Eze in the morning and Monaco in the afternoon, or more time for the Jardin Exotique and lunch on the coast.
Sample half-day itinerary: Eze village
This is our standard Eze-only schedule. Times are flexible; your chauffeur adjusts if you want longer in the old town or at Fragonard.
09:00 Pick-up at your Nice hotel or the airport
09:30 Arrive Eze village. Walk the pedestrian lanes and climb to the Jardin Exotique viewpoint (tickets optional)
11:00 Visit the Fragonard perfume factory and shop (about 45 to 60 minutes)
12:15 Optional lunch in Eze or La Turbie (meals not included)
13:30 Short stop at a corniche viewpoint on the return toward Nice
14:00 to 14:30 Drop-off in Nice, at the airport, or at your next hotel
Cruise passengers with a tight window should share ship name and all-aboard time when you enquire. We trim the route to what is realistic from Villefranche or Nice port.
What to see in and around Eze
You do not need every stop. These cover what most private tours include:
- Eze medieval village: Narrow stone lanes, artisan shops, views toward the sea. Allow 60 to 90 minutes on foot.
- Jardin Exotique d’Eze (optional): Cactus garden at the top of the rock; strong views over the coast. Adds about 45 to 60 minutes with the climb.
- Fragonard perfumery: Free visit and demonstration; popular for gifts. Plan 45 to 60 minutes.
- La Turbie or corniche viewpoints (optional): Quick photo stop on the way back to Nice.
- Monaco (full-day only): Pair with our Monaco private tour from Nice itinerary if you want both in one day.
Saint-Paul-de-Vence is a different style of day (art village inland). Compare on our Saint-Paul-de-Vence private tour from Nice page if you are choosing between villages.

Included:
- Mercedes sedan, van, or SUV matched to your group and luggage
- English-speaking chauffeur (French standard; other languages on request)
- Fuel and tolls on the agreed route
- Waiting time at each stop within your booked window

Guests arriving by air often combine the tour with a Nice airport transfer on the same day. We track flight delays so pick-up stays aligned with your landing time.
Drive times and pick-up from Nice
Distances below are approximate by road from central Nice. Summer traffic on the Moyenne Corniche can add 10 to 15 minutes.
| Route | Distance | Typical drive |
|---|---|---|
| Nice centre to Eze village | 15 km | 20 to 30 min |
| Nice airport (NCE) to Eze | 18 km | 25 to 35 min |
| Villefranche to Eze | 12 km | 15 to 25 min |
| Eze to Monaco | 10 km | 20 to 30 min |
We can approach Eze from the lower coastal road or the Moyenne Corniche depending on views and traffic. Your chauffeur chooses the safer option if weather or events affect the upper road.
If you need a driver without a fixed sightseeing plan, that is a separate service on our private driver in Nice page. This tour page is for a planned Eze itinerary.
Why book a private tour instead of a group coach
Shared excursions from Nice run on fixed timetables. You wait for other passengers and spend set minutes at each stop.
A private Eze tour gives you:
- Door-to-door service from Nice or the airport
- Room for luggage on arrival or departure day
- A vehicle sized to your group, not a large coach
- A fixed quote in euros for the vehicle, not a per-person OTA markup
Kosy Limousine is a local chauffeur company on the Cote d’Azur, not a resale platform. You speak to us about the car, the route, and the price before you pay.
How pricing and booking work
Rates depend on hours booked, vehicle type, season, and exact pick-up. We send a firm quote after you share:
- Travel dates
- Pick-up and drop-off addresses
- Number of passengers and bags
- Half-day Eze only or full day with Monaco
- Any must-see stops (Jardin Exotique, extra time at Fragonard)
Typical pattern: a half-day sedan for 1 to 3 guests costs less than a full-day Mercedes V-Class with airport pick-up and Monaco added.
How to book:
- Send your details by email, phone, or the site booking form.
- We confirm duration, vehicle, and price.
- You approve; we send pick-up time and chauffeur contact.
- On the day, your driver meets you and follows the agreed route. Small changes are fine if timing allows.

Eze or Saint-Paul-de-Vence: which should I choose?
