    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.

    20 minutes (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.

    15 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Pass byLa Turbie

    Admire the sight of the most ancient Roman vestige on the French Riviera: the ’Trophy of the Alps’ in the village of La Turbie.

    Stop atVieux Eze

    Not even midway, and you will then take a halt to venture into one of France’s prettiest villages: Eze, filled with history and offering a stunning location over 400 meters right above sea, a truly unique place on earth.

    30 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atParfumerie Fragonard - Usine Laboratoire de Èze

    Meet up again with your driver and, just around the corner, seize the chance to visit the renowned Fragonard Perfume Factory and discover the secrets of this realm of fragrances…

    40 minutes (approx.)No admission tickets required

    Stop atPrince's Palace of Monaco

    Descent towards the state-city of Monaco and its Palace on the ’Rock’, in time for the change of the guards(morning only). You will be given some free time to wander around the old town for a souvenir maybe, or even admire the view from the St. Martin Gardens, and definitely visit Monaco’s Cathedral and its chapel of the late sovereign Princes and Princesses.

    30 minutes (approx.)Admission not included

    Stop atCathedrale Notre-Dame-Immaculee

    Definitely visit Monaco’s Cathedral and its chapel of the late sovereign Princes and Princesses.

A good way to experience the variety of places that make up the French Riviera

barbaracL6130ML, Dec 2024

A comprehensive exposure to the French Riviera in about ten hours. Our driver was also the guide with entertaining stories, clear guidance about what to see and time to wander and even shop in each place.

Read this before booking | a couple of recos for the future

NEIL_S, Dec 2024

This tour was good; however, two other tours from Viator got canceled, and another tour I asked to move to one day later because our ship wasn't going to be there due to weather and they wouldn't refund my money ($500) or allow us to adjust our date. So, 5 tours I scheduled with them total for this trip, and 3 of them were either canceled or they wouldn't accommodate the day adjustment. And, their customer service sent me an email to my request telling me "no" again on the refund. Unbelievable and horrible business ethics. Specially, this tour was okay. We were in a small van with seven customers plus the guide. She was knowledgeable and friendly. The sites and scenery were amazing. Here are a couple of recommendations to help in the future. Have a planned and efficient plan for the day and how to get to all the sites. We drove around for hours with small, quick stops to snap a couple of pictures. It felt slightly like the amazing race, yet you are on vacation. We left at 8:30 and got back at 6:30. That's just too long and very exhausting. Net, net: I'm glad I went, but there should be a solid plan for the day so you feel like you aren't the person navigating. We aren't the subject matter experts, so we trust you all to do that part. Which, ultimately, is why we paid money for the tour. All that said, given my terrible experience with Viator, this tour (1) at least wasn't canceled, and (2) I got a lot of beautiful pictures.

A great tour of the French Riviera

Karen_T, Dec 2024

Thank you Xavier for the wonderful tour of the French Riviera. We loved all parts of it from Cannes to Monaco. You helped us cover a lot of sights in a one day cruise tour. Your knowledge of the areas we visited and driving skills were superb. Tres Bien
