Saint-Tropez and Port Grimaud Day from Nice Small-Group Tour
Description
En route to Saint-Tropez, after driving to St Maxime, you can opt for a 20-minute boat trip (9€) to explore Saint-Tropez at your own pace (available from May to mid-September). During your free time, be charmed by the famous harbor, beautiful beaches, and Place des Lys, where artists, celebrities, and journalists gather. Wander through the village’s narrow streets and take your time to choose from the many local restaurants. Over the years, Saint-Tropez has evolved from a 15th-century military stronghold to a quiet fishing village, and now it’s a playground for the jet set, models, and millionaires. On your way back, stop by Port Grimaud, known as the "Little Venice" for its canals, bridges, and quaint squares. For cruisers: A 50% refund will be granted upon request in case of last-minute port call cancellation.

I couldn't complete the reservation. Horrible site.
Enough time to visit if you only have one day. Definitely a worthwhile investment in time and money.
Dear Jackie, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that your one-day visit was worthwhile and that you felt it was a good investment of your time and money. We hope to welcome you again soon! Best Regards!
My husband and I did this tour and were so excited as it was our first time visiting the French Riviera. Our tour guide NICOLAS had : No personality, no skill, no knowledge, actually rude with a Napoleon syndrome. Once in a while, drily, he would introduce or say something that’s obvious with no real explanation or history behind it. He got bothered if he was asked to repeat something he said and was not understood. The other 4 guests were also flabbergasted and I am sure probably gave him no star but we don’t have that choice. The tour is very interesting with a dull neophyte. We can say this because the day before, we had a gentleman named Jean François from Bingo tour and both he and the tour were terrific! Please check who’s doing your tour before a couple days before and if it is with Liven Up Nice and having NICOLAS as your guide please RUN as your whole day would be a horrible experience. I would recommend you to book with the same St. Tropez tour with BINGO TOUR.

The guide did not speak English very well. We got caught in traffic and he adjusted the trip to give us more time. He got us a ferry instead of driving. We tried to message when we wanted picked up but messages were not getting to him timely. He was nice and pleasant and tried hard to share information. Overall they were cute towns but not worth the long drive from Nice.

We regret to say that this “tour” was really a very expensive and unprofessional cab ride. There was no information shared on the region or st tropez during the lengthy travel time that would have been appreciated . Our tour guide was easily annoyed by us and circumstances and didn’t hesitate to show it. Worst of all , his aggressive driving made us uncomfortable and made an unpleasant end to the day . Chris L

Driver was nice, friendly, helpful. Tour needs to spend more time in St Tropez especially including lunch. Port Grimaud had surprisingly cute souvenir shops.
