Worthwhile glimpse of old town Cannes
We were so pleased with this tour with Emna. It allowed us to see Cannes beyond the red carpet and croisette (which are also worthwhile). The old town shouldn’t be missed - its winding streets, hilltop church Notre Dame d’Esperance and tower are must sees for real Cannes.

It was not the best experience
The guide was walking too fast, plus with the ambient noise you could not hear well. Headphones should be used.

Great Free Walking Tour in Cannes
I am so glad I found this group by searching Free Walking Tours in Cannes. Our guide, Fran, was friendly, engaging, easy to tour with. She recommended the oldest resturant in cannes. A French Restaurant dating back to 1860! I highly recommend this tour and so glad I found it!

Not worth it.
Guide showed up 45 minutes late. Not a good way to start. Not really anything exciting about the tour. Nothing very memorable about Cannes.

Lucia is an Amazing Guide!
Lucia is an Amazing Guide! She is incredibly knowledgeable of history and culture. And she shares it with such enthusiasm and passion. She was also very mindful to have us stand in shady spots while she shared with us such wonderful moments of history and facts. She also gave such insightful information about places to eat and shop so we could continue to enjoy Cannes after the tour… I could have listened to her all day!!

Very confusing directions
We were late as the directions were very unclear. I would suggest meeting down near the port. When we finally found the location, the guide had already gone. We were very disappointed

Hi there, Sorry to hear that you cannot found the meeting point which is clearly indicated on the experience. There's not only people coming out of cruiseship joining the tour, plenty of tourists travel by train to our destination. The meeting point is not even a km away. The guide always wait at least 5min before starting the introduciton of the tour which last about 10min before the group start moving around 15-20min after the start of the tour. We are sincerely sorry but you can't blame us while we give a proper Google Maps address link. You can also contact the guide to reach them on the way as they quite often share their instant location to people who are late to the tour. Hope you still enjoy the French Riviera and Cannes. All the best. Happy travels :-)

Had a lovely walking tour with Geoffrey around Cannes on Thursday 17th July. He provided lots of historical and interesting information. We couldn't understand why if this a 'free walking tour ' when we paid tripadvisor £52. The booking confirmation also confirmed the tour was free and according to Geoffrey he wasn't paid by tripadvisor or viator, so this is very concerning. We felt compelled to pay our excellent guide directly on the day and feel tripadvisor or viator should refund us or confirm a payment was made to the guide. We look forward to your response. Karen

Don't pay for a free tour
Booked the review; then found out that it is also available as a free guided walking tour. The tour guide's explanations were not up to the standard of other guides we've had.

Hi Victor, Tip based tours are a concept where you rate and tip as you think the guide deserve to be. The amount you paid on this platform is based on an average tip that people leave along with the platform commission of course, so it is only a fair amount spent in the end (which is exposed to high french taxes and high cost of living in the area). We are still providing an alternative to tours 10times more expensive :-) Nothing is free nowadays and the guides are trying to make a living from sharing their passion to the city. The guide on your tour was new to the role that's probably why you had this feeling, he might not have said it as didn't wanted to be judged before the start. We all need to start somewhere and even with training, it takes a bit to get fully comfortable with the role. He stll have his guide license which recently took him about 2 years of studies. Of course as far as it is disappointing to us that you didn't had the ideal tour, we appreciate to consider those factors. Sorry again for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding. All the best. Happy travels :-)
