    Itinerary

    This is a typical itinerary for this product

    Pass byBoulevard De La Croisette

    After being picked-up at your hotel by our English-speaking tour guide, you will head towards the motorway (speedway) and shoot off from there to the the scintillating town of Cannes. Explore the city and discover its magnificent palaces along the Croisette boulevard : the Carlton, the Majestic or the Martinez where the stars are staying during the Film Festival.

    Stop atPalais des Festivals et des Congres of Cannes

    Take the opportunity to walk on the famous red carpet covering the world famous steps of the Palais des Festivals - where it all takes place in May - you might feel like walking up ‘the 24 steps of glory’ and perhaps strike your most graceful pose on the red carpet. Do have a look at the local Walk of Fame with its celebrities’ handprints before you go, too.

    1 hour (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atAntibes

    Once the high-end boutiques and splendid hotels of Cannes are left behind, you will take the coastal road to Antibes which traverses the summer resorts of Golfe-Juan and Juan-les-Pins, both steeped in history as well as ongoing events. You’ve now reached Antibes, or Antipolis as the Greeks had first named it. A town which played the role of sentinel for the country during many centuries, hence its ramparts circling the Old Town. There you might consider strolling along those XVth century walls and Grimaldi Castle - nowadays the Picasso museum. Then your guide will drive you out of the Old Town. Once past Antibes’ large marina and its ‘Billionaires’ Quay‘, you will proceed along the coastline until you reach the town of Villeneuve-Loubet with its extraordinary ‘Marina of the Bay of Angels’ from where you will go inland towards your last site visit.

    1 hours and 45 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atSt-Paul-de-Vence

    Last but not least, Saint-Paul-de-Vence will enchant you. When walking through the mesmerizing maze of cobbled streets with their numerous listed monuments, it becomes clear how this medieval village appealed to a vast number of artists with the likes of Matisse, Modigliani, Chagall or Picasso instilling a definite artistic touch that one can now ascertain when gazing at the windows of the countless art galleries. Taking you back to another time - notably due to its aura of light at certain hours - it is no wonder why famous actors too have chosen the quaint village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence as their ideal retreat when coming to stay on the Riviera.

Great job.

Helen_D, Dec 2024

Inspite of all the commotion caused due to the tour de France, roads blocked ,only 1 way streets etc, the trip was worthwhile. Thanks

Awful

503madeleined, Dec 2024

This liven up tour is a completely rip off, avoid it!

The driver was rude. We spend hours in the traffic jam, instead of enjoying our self in sightseeing.

His English was very basic, we couldn’t understand anything he was saying!

Hello,

Thank you for your feedback,

I don't know if you are mistaken about the company, but all our drivers are completely bilingual,

I regret however that you did not enjoy your tour.

I hope to see you again on board our vehicles.

disappointing excursion

Aileen N, Dec 2024

Driver was on time, pleasant, only 4 of us in mini van. Looked great at that point. Once we got en route to Cannes (Cannes film festival was going on next day), the disappointment began. First, he introduced himself as being from Russia, not France. So he did not really act like a tour guide with info. Then, with each stop, he simply dropped us off and told us where he would meet us. More like a taxi service. Cannes was very busy, a city. Antibes was nice but we spent such little time there could not appreciate it. St. Paul de Vence was lovely. We loved the place, but again, too little time there, would have like at least an hour or so. We recommend going to St. Paul de Vence on your own, do not need a tour get a taxi to drop you off and pick you up when you want. Not sure but the train or a bus may stop there too. Other stops were not really worth while. We do not recommend this tour, especially for the money. Same price a cruise ship for some other tours. Took forever to get out of the city, which he drove us through Nice, during rush hour.

The tour was wonderful...so much to...
