The experience

You meet your private guide and driver at the Cannes port and decide together what the day looks like. Walk the Boulevard La Croisette and pose on the famous red carpet where film festival celebrities stand, or head straight to Nice to wander the Promenade des Anglais and the old town's flower market. Monaco offers the Prince's Palace, the cathedral where Prince Rainier and Princess Grace were married, and the Monte-Carlo Casino square lined with luxury cars and the ornate Hôtel de Paris. Medieval Eze sits high above the coast with narrow streets and an exotic garden at its summit. Antibes draws visitors to its billionaires' dock and provincial market. You choose which stops fit the time you have.

Transport happens in a comfortable, recent vehicle with your guide (who speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, French or another language) handling the driving and navigation. The excursion runs up to 7 hours, and you set the return time to the port. If you want to linger in one place or skip another entirely, you adjust on the fly. Pickup and drop-off at the port are included. Food and drinks are on you.

Is this one for you?Book this excursion if your ship's port call is long enough to explore multiple stops without rushing. The 7-hour window lets you spend real time in two or three places rather than racing through five. If your schedule is tight or you want to see everything in one go, ask your guide to suggest a tighter route that hits the highlights.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese.

Can I change my mind about which cities to visit once we leave the port?

Yes. You can finalize the stops and timing when you meet your guide, or adjust the plan as the day unfolds. The itinerary is yours to shape.

What is there to do on the Boulevard La Croisette in Cannes?

The Boulevard La Croisette runs along the waterfront with luxury boutiques, hotels and the famous red carpet where celebrities walk during the International Film Festival. You can stroll, shop and take photos on the carpet itself.

Does the tour go inside the Monte-Carlo Casino?

The excursion includes time to explore the square around the legendary Monte-Carlo Casino, admire the Hôtel de Paris and see the luxury cars parked there. Entry to the casino itself is not included in the tour.

What makes Eze worth the stop?

Eze is a medieval village perched on a hilltop with narrow, winding streets and a botanical garden at the summit offering views across the coast. It is a short drive from the coast but feels worlds away from the busier cities.

How many people can fit in the vehicle?

The private vehicle accommodates your group comfortably. Specialized infant seats are available if you are traveling with small children.
