Cannes, Saint-Tropez & Golden Coast Private Tour
A full-day private journey along the most iconic coastline on the French Riviera
This Cannes and Saint-Tropez private tour takes you from the glamorous boulevards of Cannes through the dramatic red-rock scenery of the Golden Coast to the sun-drenched harbor of Saint-Tropez, all in one seamless nine-hour day. A dedicated professional driver-guide collects you directly from your accommodation and returns you at the end of the day. Every part of the itinerary can be adjusted to suit your personal interests.
Cannes sets the tone for the day with its legendary film festival palace, the red-carpet walkway, and the wide promenade of La Croisette lined with grand hotels. Time moves at a relaxed pace here, leaving room for a stroll, a coffee, or a browse through the boutiques that have attracted celebrities for decades.
The drive south along the coast road reveals the striking ochre and rust-colored cliffs of the Massif de l'Esterel, a natural backdrop that photographers and painters have long sought out. Scenic stops along the way allow you to take in the contrast between the vivid rock formations and the deep blue of the Mediterranean.
At the port of Sainte-Maxime, a short boat crossing brings you across the bay directly into Saint-Tropez, avoiding the notorious coastal road traffic entirely. The village rewards exploration on foot, whether you are drawn to the old port, the colorful market squares, the luxury yachts, or simply a long lunch in the shade.

Itinerary
Your guide meets you directly at your hotel or rental property and introduces the day ahead. The vehicle is modern, air-conditioned, and set up for comfort throughout the journey.
Arrive in Cannes and walk along the iconic promenade of La Croisette past the grand hotels and the Palais des Festivals, home to the world-famous film festival. Free time here allows for shopping, a coffee stop, or simply taking in the atmosphere of this celebrated city.
The coastal road south passes through the Massif de l'Esterel, where volcanic rock formations in deep shades of red and orange rise against the sea. The guide will stop at selected viewpoints so you can photograph this striking natural landscape.
From the port of Sainte-Maxime, board a boat for a 20-minute crossing of the bay, arriving directly at the port of Saint-Tropez. This approach by sea offers a memorable first view of the village and its famous harbor.
Explore Saint-Tropez independently, whether that means wandering the old streets, visiting the market, browsing the boutiques, admiring the yachts, or sitting down for a long meal. The guide is available for local recommendations throughout your stay.
Re-board the boat at Saint-Tropez port for the return crossing to Sainte-Maxime before the drive back to your accommodation. Your guide will adjust the return pace and route according to the group's preferences.
