The experience

Nine hours gives you time to move through three distinct stops without rushing. The day starts in Grasse, where you'll visit a perfume factory to learn how the fragrances are made and hear the story of how Coco Chanel commissioned Chanel No. 5 from the master perfumer Ernest Beaux in 1921. You get free time to walk the old town's narrow streets before heading toward Cannes.

Cannes is built around the Palais des Festivals and its red carpet: the stage where international film festival celebrities walk every year. You'll photograph the carpet itself, then walk Boulevard La Croisette to see the luxury boutiques, the Chanel flagship at number 5, and the seafront hotels and beaches. Your guide will recommend restaurants for lunch (you arrange and pay for it separately). The pace here is yours to set within the afternoon window.

The day closes at Domaine de la Source, a castle-estate on the hills overlooking Nice. You tour the vineyards and taste wines produced there, included in the price. Your guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, French or another language of your choice, and will adjust the route or timing if you want to linger somewhere or skip ahead.

Is this one for you?Nine hours is long enough to see all three destinations without backtracking, but it means you'll spend most of the day on the tour and have little time for other activities in Nice itself. Book this if you want to cover the Riviera's signature stops (perfume, film festival glamour, and local wine) in a single outing.
