In Cannes, you will have an opportunity to walk down the famous Croisette, the promenade that became the emblem of Cannes. And you will discover the Palace of Festivals with its red carpet, the home of the famous Cannes Film Festival.
Antibes is one of France’s oldest cities which was founded by Greek merchants in the 5th century and where nowadays the genuine Provencal Market goers and the very rich Yacht-owners meet in one single town. It is one of the most attractive and interesting places to visit on this section of the coast, with all the ingredients you could hope for - an attractive seafront area, historic buildings, and an interesting old town with a traditional market.
Finally, you will discover St Paul de Vence that is certainly one of the most beautiful villages in Provence, recognized for its cultural and artistic note. You will notice that art is very present here, through many workshops or galleries. Art galleries will immerse you in the past. St Paul de Vence is the cradle of artists, writers, poets (Prévert, Pagnol) and painters (Chagall, Picasso, Matisse).

I was present at the pickup location (Paul's bakery by the Nice station) an hour before pickup time, to make sure i do not miss it. The time came and nobody showed up carrying signs that said "Happy Riviera Tours" or anything like that. How was I supposed to know who / where exactly I was meeting them for pickup? The message had only said "Paul Bakery" (which is where I was at), but WHERE exactly? All the other tours I have booked during my trip to Europe had their guides hold signs or at least wear a uniform that identified them to their customers &/or mentioned AHEAD OF TIME exactly how to identify and meet them. Not this tour! I kept going around the Paul Bakery looking for someone holding a sign, or a little flag, or wearing a uniform, or holding my name... NOTHING. 5 minutes before they left without me, they email me saying "Black Van License Plate ******". I missed the email.. and missed the tour. And, of course, no refund. What a "Happy" Riviera Tour that was for me.... NOT!
Everything was incredible and entertaining, one of the best tours you can experience. Also the tour guide was so kind to us
Great way to see these beautiful hotspots. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable and helpful, so thank you!
We had a lovely experience. Nicole was an amazing guide and driver. Wish we had more time to do more
This was a great way to get a taste of the French Riviera in just half a day. The stops in Cannes, Antibes, and St. Paul de Vence were short, but perfect for getting a feel for each destination and deciding where we'd like to spend more time on a future trip. Hotel pickup was seamless, and our guide, Bruno, was fun, engaging, and shared lots of interesting information throughout the tour. We really enjoyed it!
We enjoyed the tour and the three cities. I would recommend the tour and driver that we had. My only disappointment was that we could not hear him speak or any commentary in the very back wheee we had to sit the entire time.
St-Paul-de-Vence is a magnificent site not to be missed!!! We even preferred it to Cannes. Pure beauty and it would have needed more time.
This half day trip was the perfect amount of guided tour by van, telling us all kinds of background information, and then free time in each town to do whatever we wished, on our own. We really enjoyed it.
I took this tour with my daughter. We were bitterly disappointed. Our driver, Laurent, was grumpy, negative and argumentative. He was totally unsuited to the job of a tour guide. He complained incessantly about how uneducated people were nowadays, how much better the South of France was in the past and how tourism had ruined the area. He kept saying how awful Cannes was, even tho it was part of our itinerary. He made us feel really uncomfortable. The places we went to were great but he spoiled our enjoyment of the experience.
I enjoyed my day with my guide Rapheal. He was kind, informative and made my experience delightful. I saw all the highlights I came to see and more. Raphael also was attentive to my needs getting in out of the van due to my foot brace. Thank you.
