Top 6 Private Shore Excursions in France

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.”

“Cannes and Monte Carlo are beautiful. Itchy the tour guide was great…but that’s where the good stops. We spent $940 on an 8hr tour and only got 6.5hrs. Requested a partial refund for lost 1.5hrs and was told no…even with escalation to Viator management (supposedly). Terrible business ethics!”
