The experience

You start from your hotel in Cannes and spend the day moving between four distinct stops across the Riviera. Eze sits at 1,407 feet above sea level with views down to the coast and a medieval layout that rewards wandering. La Turbie offers photo stops on the way. The Fragonard Perfumery near Grasse includes a free guided tour showing how the factory makes fragrance, plus time to browse and buy. Monaco's Monte Carlo Casino is accessible if you bring your passport and about 20 euros per person for entry.

Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the final major stop, is a walled hilltop village with galleries, shops and narrow streets. The operator calls it a museum in the open sky. The route also passes through Cannes itself, where you see the old town and the Croisette's luxury shops, and includes a drive along the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. The guide narrates throughout and can answer questions about the sites, but the day is structured around stops rather than a single narrative thread.

The tour runs 8 hours total and includes hotel pickup and drop-off in Cannes, bottled water, and a private vehicle. Your guide speaks multiple languages and the group stays small: maximum eight travelers per booking. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with young children, and the tour is wheelchair accessible.

Top questions

Live guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Arabic, Russian and Dutch.

What is Eze village actually like when you get there?

Eze is a medieval village perched at 1,407 feet on a hilltop overlooking the Mediterranean. It has narrow cobbled streets, historic architecture, exotic gardens, and fine art galleries. The main draw is the views and the chance to walk through a preserved medieval layout without a car.

Do I need to pay extra to enter the Monte Carlo Casino?

Yes. Entry to the casino requires your passport and costs approximately 20 euros per person. This is separate from the tour price and optional. You can skip it if you prefer to explore Monaco's public areas instead.

What happens at the Fragonard Perfumery?

The Fragonard Perfumery offers a free guided tour showing how the factory produces fragrance and its history. You then have free time to walk through the factory shop and buy if you wish. The entire stop is included in the tour price.

Can I book this tour if I'm staying outside Cannes?

Hotel pickup is included from Cannes hotels only. If you're staying elsewhere on the Riviera, contact the operator to ask about alternative pickup points before booking.

How many people travel together on this tour?

The tour is private, meaning you book the vehicle and guide for your group. The maximum is eight travelers per booking, so you might share the van with other groups or travel alone depending on your party size and what others book.

What should I bring or know before the tour starts?

Bring your passport if you plan to enter the Monte Carlo Casino. Bottled water is provided, but food and drinks are not included. Plan to eat at one of the stops or bring snacks. The tour involves walking through villages and some elevation changes, though it's suitable for all fitness levels.
