Cannes to Monaco and Eze?

[tusconcam]

Sorry to possibly hijack this thread.

 

DW and I will be on Celebrity Edge in May and from Villefrance looking at an all-day Nice, Monte Carlo/Monaco and Eze tour from the cruise line. Has anyone had any experience with this tour/this combo?

Yes, to do things properly each one deserves more time, but my DW is most attached to cruise line tours due to ensuring we don't miss the boat. (More literally than figuratively) with outside tour operators.

 

Suggestions and comments are most appreciated.

Thanks

Once you eliminate all the other options (which you have done) than the excursion is your best option :).  Keep in mind that Villefrance is a tender port which does take some time away from the day.  But if you have a full day it is a very reasonable itinerary.   We have done some similar days on our own (from cruises and when just staying in the area) and if done right it can be a terrific excursion.  If we were guiding this tour we would take our charges from Villefrance to Nice in time to enjoy the morning Flower Market and perhaps a break for cafe au lait.  Than the options get a bit more complex.  Most excursions will want to get you to Monte Carlo in time for the Changing of the Guard which happens outside the Palace at 11:55.  That would leave Eze Village for later in the afternoon on the way back to to the port.
