Itinéraire
Après avoir été pris en charge à votre hôtel par notre guide anglophone, vous vous dirigerez vers l'autoroute (speedway) et partirez de là vers la ville scintillante de Cannes. Explorez la ville et découvrez ses magnifiques palais le long du boulevard de la Croisette: le Carlton, le Majestic ou le Martinez où logent les stars pendant le Festival du Film.
Profitez-en pour marcher sur le célèbre tapis rouge couvrant les marches mondialement connues du Palais des Festivals - où tout se déroule en mai - vous aurez peut-être envie de gravir `` les 24 marches de la gloire '' et peut-être prendre votre pose la plus gracieuse sur le tapis rouge. Jetez également un œil au Walk of Fame local avec les empreintes de mains de ses célébrités avant de partir.
Une fois les boutiques haut de gamme et les splendides hôtels de Cannes abandonnés, vous emprunterez la route côtière d'Antibes qui traverse les stations estivales de Golfe-Juan et Juan-les-Pins, toutes deux chargées d'histoire et d'événements en cours. Vous avez maintenant atteint Antibes, ou Antipolis comme les Grecs l’avaient nommée pour la première fois. Ville qui a joué le rôle de sentinelle du pays pendant de nombreux siècles, d'où ses remparts encerclant la vieille ville. Là, vous pourriez envisager de vous promener le long de ces murs du XVe siècle et du château Grimaldi - aujourd'hui le musée Picasso. Ensuite, votre guide vous conduira hors de la vieille ville. Une fois passé le grand port de plaisance d'Antibes et son quai des `` milliardaires '', vous longerez le littoral jusqu'à la ville de Villeneuve-Loubet avec son extraordinaire `` Marina de la Baie des Anges '' d'où vous irez à l'intérieur des terres vers votre dernier site. visite.
Admirez la vue du plus ancien vestige romain de la Côte d'Azur: le 'Trophée des Alpes' dans le village de La Turbie.

Had a great time w Alex R today. Very safe driver, took great care of us. Recommended a lunch spot and made the reservations for us. Was attentive to our needs and wants. He is also knowledgeable about the area. Great day, thank you!
We had a wonderful day exploring the beautiful French Riviera on this small-group shore excursion from Villefranche. Our guide, Eric, was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the area. He shared great stories and local insights while making sure everyone had a memorable experience. The itinerary was perfectly planned, with breathtaking views and charming places that truly captured the beauty of the French Riviera. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience the highlights of this amazing region!
We had Alex as our tour guide and he was amazing. Very personable and engaging. He gave us a lot of great information and also allowed us to have plenty of free time. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
Alex was our driver for our private tour with 8 family members. He was excellent! He was able to pick us up a little early since we were early at the port. He was extremely knowledgeable and took his time to point out interesting places and things to stop and see. He gave us great recommendations for food and snacks. He kept us on time and comfortable and had a great sense of humor! We were back at the port in plenty of time for our ship. Definitely worth the price for such a limited time in port, we packed it all in.
We had a great full day tour of the French Riviera. Rina was a great guide offering lots of information about the area and its history.
Hello, We truly appreciate your wonderful feedback. It’s great to know that Rina’s expertise and insights helped make your French Riviera tour informative and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing your experience — we hope to welcome you again soon! Best regards
Villefranche-sur-Mer is a gem nestled along the radiant curve of the French Riviera, cradled gracefully between the bustling city of Nice and the opulent principality of Monaco. More than just a resort town, Villefranche-sur-Mer is a living painting—its colors shifting with the sun, its soul steeped in history, charm, and coastal elegance. At the heart of its allure lies the lovely sweeping bay, one of the deepest natural harbors in the Mediterranean, where sapphire waters gently cradle sailboats and luxury yachts alike. The view is timeless: pastel-colored houses cascade down steep hillsides, their shutters faded by the sea breeze and sun, while narrow cobbled streets lead visitors through a village that has somehow escaped the rush of modern life. The Promenade des Marinières lines the water’s edge, inviting long, dreamy strolls with the scent of salt and bougainvillea in the air. Along the shore, Plage des Marinières offers a tranquil beach where locals and travelers alike stretch out beneath striped umbrellas or dip into the crystalline sea. Above the bay, the 16th-century Citadel of Saint-Elme watches protectively over the town, its stone walls whispering stories of ancient battles, pirate raids, and royal visits. Today, it hosts gardens, art exhibitions, and music festivals, blending the past with the present in perfect harmony. Villefranche is also a town of cultural richness—its Chapelle Saint-Pierre, decorated by Jean Cocteau, is a poetic masterpiece that fuses art, faith, and myth. Local markets brim with Provencal flavors, artisanal goods, and the warm laughter of the townspeople. Though it’s often visited by the world’s elite and celebrity travelers, Villefranche-sur-Mer remains deeply human—quiet in its dignity, generous in its beauty. Whether arriving by train from Nice, by yacht from Monaco, or on foot from the surrounding cliffs, one thing is certain: you don’t just visit Villefranche—you fall under its spell.
What a fantastic way to comfortably experience Riviera highlights. Our guide was phenomenal. He had so much in-depth knowledge about each area we visited. It’s hot this time of year so escaping to A/C was heavenly between stops. My favorite places were Antibes and Eze. We were so lucky as it was just 3 of us. Highly recommend!!
Dear Kristina, Thank you so much for your kind message! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a fantastic experience discovering the Riviera highlights. It's wonderful to know that your guide’s in-depth knowledge added so much to the day, and that the comfort of the air-conditioned vehicle made the journey even more enjoyable—especially in the summer heat. Antibes and Eze are indeed beautiful choices, and we’re glad you got to enjoy them in such an intimate group setting. We hope to welcome you again in the future.
As expected there was lots to see, so time was a bit of an issue. Our driver, Valerieu, did take us to a very nice hilltop medieval town of Saint Paul de Vence for lunch, but we did not have any time to both eat and take up his suggestion to visit the cemetery at the south end of the village. Two main criticisms, there was 12 of us in the van, not 8; and our driver did not have a means to use the van's radio speakers to give us information. At a stop I did politely inform him privately that it was difficult for some of us towards the rear of the van to hear him, particularly over the road noise when traveling at speed. He informed me that while some of the company's guides may require such a device, he emphatically stated that his voice was strong enough to reach us. He was incorrect and displayed a rather arrogant attitude. It is primarily for this reason I only rate the tour as a 3
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your honest feedback, as it helps us improve and better serve our guests. We’d like to clarify that, in line with current transportation legislation, our minivans are limited to a maximum of 8 passengers — and in your case, this guideline was fully respected. However, we understand that it may have felt more crowded than expected. If your group was looking for more space or a more personalized experience, a private tour might have been a more suitable option, offering both added comfort and flexibility. Regarding communication inside the vehicle: we’re sorry to hear that you had difficulty hearing the guide. While we understand the practicality of using a microphone, we’ve found that it can sometimes dehumanize the experience, creating a barrier between the guide and the guests. Many of our guides, including Valerieu, prefer a more natural and conversational approach. We’ll remind our team of the importance of adapting to each group’s needs, especially in terms of voice projection and responsiveness. We wish you all the best!
Rodrigo was amazing.! He knew so much history of each place we visited. He was very attentive and made sure we had a memorable experience. He was super fun and even gave us great recommendations for restaurants!
Bonjour, Thank you for your kind and detailed feed back about your experience with us. This is exactly our goal: to create good memories! We hope to see you again on our tours. It would be a real pleasure to meet you again! Wish you all the best!
