The Bay of Angels, the Promenade des Anglais and the rooftops of Nice's old town seen from above

The Bay of Angels and the old town

In Nice, start by going up. From the top of Castle Hill you can see the whole Bay of Angels, and the city falls into place at a glance.

Discover Nice

Castle Hill and the Old Town

A lift, with its entrance below the Bellanda Tower, saves you the steps. It is sometimes out of order, so be ready to walk up. At the top, the park has a waterfall and lawns. On the way back down, go through the Old Town, Vieux-Nice, to the Cours Saleya. The flower, fruit and vegetable market is held there every morning except Monday, when the antiques and flea market takes its place.

The Promenade and Cimiez

Along the sea, the Promenade des Anglais stretches for seven kilometres. It is named after the English who wintered here and paid for the first path, in 1822. Higher up, in the Cimiez district, the Matisse Museum occupies a seventeenth-century villa beside the Roman amphitheatre. The painter is buried in the cemetery of the monastery next door.

Our chauffeur services in Nice

Getting here and leaving

The city centre is about 20 minutes from Nice Airport, and the price is fixed in advance, from €70. Most of our pick-ups are outside the hotels on the Promenade des Anglais and at Nice-Ville station. During the Carnival in February and the Nice Jazz Fest in July, the area around Place Masséna is hard to get through by car. During these major events, we allow extra time for the journey around Place Masséna.

Port Lympia

Ferries to Corsica leave from Port Lympia. We drop you there in good time for boarding, and we meet you when the boat comes in. The port also welcomes yachts and cruise ships. For a call of just a few hours, we stay nearby and bring you back to the ship before it sails.

A day in Nice

In the morning, we drop you at the foot of Castle Hill. You walk back down to the Cours Saleya for lunch. In the afternoon, we pick you up for Cimiez and the Matisse Museum. Some clients prefer to head for Èze or Monaco, and we bring them back into town in the evening.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and central Nice?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €80 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €100 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €130 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€70 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.

How long does it take from Nice Airport to central Nice?

About 20 minutes to reach central Nice (8 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.

Can you drop me off in the Old Town?

Yes, at the edge of the pedestrian area. The car goes no further. We agree the exact spot with you when you book, as close as possible to your hotel or restaurant.

Can you pick me up at Port Lympia?

Yes, from a ferry, a cruise ship or a yacht. Give us the name of the vessel and its arrival time when you book. Your chauffeur will be waiting at the agreed spot.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.

How do I pay?

Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.

What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?

A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
