About this tour
Eze is the hilltop village that cruise passengers dream of reaching from Villefranche — medieval stone lanes, artisan shops, and panoramic views over the Côte d'Azur. This small-group tour gets you there without navigating local buses on a tight schedule.
Your guide leads a small group from the Villefranche tender landing along the coastal road to Eze, where you explore the village at a steady pace suited to the group. The compact duration means this excursion works on moderate port calls, as long as you account for tender transfer time.
Reaching Eze independently from the tender pier requires multiple connections with limited schedules. A guided excursion with coordinated transport is the safer choice for return-to-ship reliability.

Tender and meeting point advice
This is a flexible excursion for moderate port calls. Allow generous time before all aboard for the return tender.
Wear comfortable walking shoes. Eze village has uphill cobbled lanes.
If your port call is very short, consider staying in Villefranche village instead. Use our cruise planner to check.
Morning departures are best — the village is quieter and you have more margin before all aboard.
Review our tender information, check meeting point guide, and plan your day with our cruise planner.
