Can anyone inform me if taxi%26#39;s are readily available from the port to Nice and then following a few hour%26#39;s stay can we get a taxi from Nice to Monaco and then finally from Monaco back to Villefranche. We are arriving on a cruise ship and have approx 8 hrs to do the total trip.
Any idea on taxi costs ?

You can certainly get taxis as you have requested, but you would not be able to see anything in 8 hours - you would spend your whole day in taxis and see nothing....Villefranche to Nice +- 20 Euro / Nice to Monaco +- 70 Euro / Monaco to Villefranche +- 60 Euro.
When you arrive in Villefranche by boat, as you disembark from the quayside, there are taxis waiting. I would suggest catching a bus from Villefranche to Monaco (number 98 or 100 - not sure which) - this is about 15 Euro return and leaves every 20 minutes - you catch this by walking up the very steep hill to the main road. I would skip Nice, to tell you the truth - Villefranche is much more peaceful and beautiful. Monaco by bus is about 25 minutes away. The alternative is to catch the train from Villefranche to Monaco. It goes along the coast and is a beautiful journey.
Best restaurants in Villefrance are at the old port (Darse). The Cockpit and Le Baleine Joyeuse are half the price of the ones on the main seafront and exceptionally good value for money (main courses 8-12 Euros).
