Tour Overview

Beaches, supercars, super yachts, famous casinos, and quaint seaside towns will have you feeling like a high roller in this world famous beach destination! Monte Carlo, Nice, Cannes, Eze, Antibes are just a few of the legendary hot spots that the French Riviera has to offer in this land of the rich and famous! And whether gambling at the Casino de Monte Carlo, tanning on the beach in Cannes, or taking in the nightlife at one of Nice’s clubs, pay special attention to the people around you because you never know what celebrity you might be able to catch of glimpse of! *Trips in February & March (1st weekend) take place during the world famous Carnival! **Trips in May take place during the Cannes Film Festival, and the Monaco Grand Prix-Formula 1 (confirm dates for this special weekend)! ***Trip Style - This is an independent trip ideal for groups of friends, family, couples, or even for an independent-minded solo traveler. It is designed as a travel & destination package, not solely as a "group trip". You will be on group tours/activities with other travelers and in a room with other travelers if you book the "shared dorm hostel" package (if you book the "private" room package then you of course will be in your own private room). You will however, have independent time between the guided group tours/activities to explore on your own and do as you please, and will receive a detailed info packet by email with numerous recommendations for additional group activities or tours (beyond what is included), sights/museums and food/drink/nightlife info, etc. It's a great balance between guided & included tours/activities and free time so that you have plenty of time on your own to do what you want.

  • Is there a supplement for solo travellers?

    It is possible to upgrade, for a fee, to a single private room. However, if travelling solo, there is no extra charge and you will be placed in a room with other travellers

  • I'm travelling solo, will there be other people on the trip?

    Typically our trips vary in size from small groups (a few solo travelers and a group or two of friends or couples) of around 5-7 people up to around 30 people or so. However, trips also do operate operate even if there is just one solo traveler. The beauty of a Euroadventures trip is that it's about the experience and the destination and through our long time relationships with our partner companies (tours, activities, etc.) you'll always experince the trip and have the opportunity to meet others, and that's both on the tours & activities but also iat your accommodations (if you select the hostel dorm option as you'll be in a great social hostel atmosphere and have the chnace to meet other travelers from around the world). And for those who value privacy and independence, you can book the offered private room options to have your own comfortable room, and be social (or not) with other travlers participating in the tours & activities during the trip.

  • Do Euroadventures trips get cancelled or are they always confirmed to operate?

    Outside of extraordinary circumstances, Euroadventures trips DO NOT get canceled! We always run our trips so you don't need to worry.

  • I have friends coming on the trip with me, can we travel and room together?

    We take roommate requests and always do our best to make sure that you’re rooming with the friends you’re traveling with. If you’re a large group of friends (larger than the available rooms at the hotel or hostel) then we do our best to make sure your group will be in rooms next to each other or at least on the same floor.

  • How much luggage can I bring on a trip?

    Generally speaking you can have a small carryon type bag or backpack on a bus and a large suitcase or backpack that can go under the bus in the luggage compartment. However, we do advise packing light and minimal (and also keep in mind that your room will have minimal luggage space).

  • When will I receive all of the trip information like meeting place, time, hostel/hotel info, tour leader info, etc?

    24-48 hours before a trip’s departure, or meeting time in the case of a fly-in trip, you will receive an email with all details about the trip.
