Itinerary
Day 1: Overnight flight
Just one night lies between you and the trip you’ve been dreaming about. Relax and picture yourself gallivanting around Côte d’Azur beaches and villages like an A-lister and soaking up enough vitamin D to last you the rest of the year.
Day 2: Arrive in Nice + afternoon walking tour + Welcome Dinner
Bienvenue à Nice, land of pink wine, pebbly beaches, an eclectic art scene, and superyachts. This Mediterranean gem gets about 300 days of sunshine per year, a breezy playground where chill coastal vibes meet high-end luxury. Since the 1800s, it’s been a hotspot for the ultra-rich and famous (please note the massive boats in the port). The Riviera, or Côte d’Azur as the French call it, also drew legendary artists like Henri Matisse and Marc Chagall, who painted its vibrant markets, sparkling waters, and dramatic hillsides.
In the evening, enjoy your Welcome Dinner! Hosted by your Tour Director, this kickoff dinner is all about meeting your fellow travelers and easing into the rest of the trip ahead.
- Arrive at the airport to meet your fellow travelers and your Tour Director.
- Transfer to your accommodations and check in.
- See some of Nice’s most iconic sights on a walk with your Tour Director, like the Promenade des Anglais, the colorful Old Town, and the Russian Orthodox Cathedral.
- Head out into the salty air of the Riviera night for the first group dinner of your trip.
Castle Hill: Colline du Château, as it’s called in French, has the best views in Nice of the ocean and the Old Town.
Promenade des Anglais: Stroll along Nice’s iconic seaside boardwalk lined with palm trees and cafes.
Ask your Tour Director
- When’s the best time to hit Cours Saleya Market for snacks, flowers, and peak people-watching.
- Where locals actually go for socca (aka the chickpea pancake you’ll crave daily).
- How to use the tram and bus system to get around the city (which is also super walkable).
- Which souvenir shops sell cool, locally made goods—not the usual fridge magnets.
- The best spot and time for golden-hour along the Promenade des Anglais.
- How to get up to Castle Hill for the “oh mon Dieu” views (and whether the elevator is worth it).
- Where to swim or chill at a nearby beach or cove that feels less touristy.
- Which nearby towns (Antibes, Èze, Villefranche) make the best half-day side quest.
- Where to grab sunset drinks with Med views.
