We were really lucky to only have one other person with us on the tour, which made it feel like walking with friends. Starting at Place Massena, we took a leisurely stroll through the Old Town and up to the top of Castle Hill. The tour went at just the right pace and was pitched perfectly, with just the right amount of information and opportunities to stop and take in the view. Could not recommend highly enough!”

2.Monaco Formula 1 Walking Tour – The Inside Track Monaco F1

“This is a must if you want to walk the track route. Without a guide, you will miss so much of the details on the street and signs of the race in the off-season. It was really enjoyable! This is not an intro to F1 , he dives right in, so come prepared with some basic knowledge. For F1 fans, like my son, this was the highlight of our trip! I also learned so much and really enjoyed it! Highly recommend. We took the train from Nice the morning of the tour and walked from the station to the meeting point in about 15 minutes. Very easy to find.”
