The experience

Cannes arrives first. You walk the Boulevard de la Croisette (the strip lined with designer stores and white sandy beaches), and see the Palais des Festivités, where the Cannes Film Festival unfolds each year around the red carpet and the hand-prints of celebrities embedded in the pavement. The minivan then carries you west to Juan les Pins, the town the Jet Set made famous, where you pass the villas that line the coast and the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc, a landmark that has anchored the Riviera's luxury scene for generations.

Antibes holds the final stop. The ancient walled city sits on a peninsula, its ramparts rising above the Mediterranean, and you walk through the Old Town to the Provençal Market in its heart: a working market where locals shop for produce and prepared food. The real draw for many is the marina: the Billionaires' Quay, where mega-yachts moor in rows, and the spectacular harbor beyond. The guide provides context throughout, and the air-conditioned Mercedes minivan means you move between towns without the heat or the logistics of finding your own way back to the ship.

The tour is built around the four-hour window between ship arrivals and departures. A professional driver-guide handles all navigation and commentary. You step out at each town, walk the highlights at your own pace within the stops, and return to the van when the group is ready to move. Wheelchair users can join (foldable wheelchairs and strollers are accepted, though accompaniment is required at certain sites), and the company provides complimentary baby and booster seats on request.
