15 Cannes Shore Excursions Worth a Port Day

1.Cannes: 6-Hour Private French Riviera Shore Excursion

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 107 reviews · 6 hours Our pick

Meet your multilingual driver-guide at Cannes port for a six-hour private tour in an air-conditioned van for up to eight people. Visit Nice, Eze, Monaco, and Monte Carlo, with time for the palace, cathedral, casinos, and Formula 1 circuit. Guides such as David, Jack, and Frank tailor the route to traffic and your interests.

“We had a tough start as we had an 8:30 pickup at the port which was confirmed multiple times. Finally after multiple phone calls with our original driver that morning, we were picked up at 9:20 but a different driver. Frankly, I think our first driver picked up other passengers by mistake instead of our group. However, once Momo arrived and we were on our way we had a great day going to Antibes and Saint Paul de Vence which were both great and a little less busy than Cannes.”

Travel from Cannes in an air-conditioned minivan along the Esterel Corniche, stop at canal-lined Port Grimaud, then explore St-Tropez with a guide and free time. Guides such as Micah and Ben have earned praise, but traffic and shared-van conditions can affect the day.

“Saint Tropez is a beautiful place. But no fault of our driver/guide, our experience was uncomfortable. We had a husband, wife and 9 year old in the van with us. For the entire 2 hour each way drive they spent the whole drive simultaneously conducting endless phone call conversations on their speaker phones. We couldn't hear most of the the local information our guide was trying to pass on to us. I wish I would hade taken the fairy. But there should be a policy where the driver should announce to the guest before the trip starts about being considerate to the other guests on board.”
