Overview

This isn't 'just another tour.' This is your 'smart luxury' key to the real Monaco. While others get stuck in bus traffic or exhaust themselves climbing the steep hills, we'll experience the Principality like true insiders.

What sets us apart?

  1. WE BEAT THE HILLS: Our secret weapon is Monaco's “insider” network of 70+ public lifts. As your private local host, I'll guide you through this system, allowing us to move effortlessly from the port to Monte-Carlo and up to the Old Town—saving all our energy for exploring

  2. WE WALK ON THE F1 TRACK: You won't just see the F1 circuit. We will walk on the legendary track. You'll stand on the Fairmont Hairpin and feel the echo inside the iconic F1 Tunnel—an “impossible access” experience no bus tour can offer

  3. YOU'RE WITH A LOCAL HOST: This is 100% private and flexible. As your local expert, we focus on your interests, from F1 to Grace Kelly. We discover hidden alleys and photo spots 99% of visitors miss. This is your tour, at your pace

Activity itinerary

Chapelle Sainte Devote
  • 15m
Your private "insider" journey begins where the F1 race does. This isn't just a charming chapel; it's Turn 1 of the Monaco Grand Prix. We'll immediately dive into the unique storey of Monaco, connecting 700 years of Grimaldi history with the high-octane thrill of the world's most famous race.
Monte-Carlo
  • 45m
Forget the steep, exhausting hills. We'll ascend to the "Golden Square" like locals do, using Monaco's "secret" public lift system. You'll emerge into a world of glamour. Feel the James Bond atmosphere as you stand before the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo, photograph the parade of supercars, and admire the opulent Hotel de Paris. This is the Monaco you've dreamed of.
Fairmont Hairpin curve
  • 30m
Now, we'll do something tour buses cannot. We will walk on the F1 track itself. You'll stand on the apex of the Fairmont Hairpin, the most famous and challenging corner in racing. Then, we walk through the iconic F1 Tunnel—feeling the curve and hearing the echo is an exclusive experience you will never forget.
Port Hercule
  • 45m
As we exit the tunnel, the billion-dollar view of Port Hercule opens before us. We'll stroll past the mega-yachts and walk the "Swimming Pool" section of the F1 track. We'll stop at the famous La Rascasse corner and see the start/finish line—you are standing in the true heart of the F1 paddock.
Monaco-Ville
  • 30m
We leave the glamour behind for the soul of Monaco. A second effortless "insider" ascent brings us to "The Rock". You'll be transported back in time as we explore the medieval, traffic-free alleyways, see the colourful facades, and discover hidden panoramic viewpoints that most tourists never find.
Prince's Palace
  • 30m
  • Admission ticket not included
We arrive at the majestic Palace Square, the 700-year home of the Grimaldi family. We'll dive into the fascinating stories (and scandals) of the world's oldest ruling dynasty. This spot also offers the best panoramic view of the entire Principality. (We can time our visit for the 11:55 AM Changing of the Guard).
Eglise Saint-Nicolas
  • 30m
A short, beautiful walk brings us to the stunning Cathedral. This is the spiritual heart of Monaco and a key part of its storey. Inside, we'll visit the emotional and iconic tombs of Princess Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier III. A truly moving moment that connects you to Monaco's beloved princess.
Oceanographic Museum of Monaco
  • 15m
  • Admission ticket not included
We conclude our tour in the beautiful St. Martin Gardens, perched on the cliff's edge. We'll admire the dramatic architecture of the world-famous Oceanographic Museum (once led by Jacques Cousteau). As we take in the final stunning views, your guide will give you your exclusive "Insider's PDF Guide" to local dining, concluding your perfect 4.5-hour Monaco journey.
