French Riviera Private Shore Excursion from Cannes: Fully Customizable Day Tour

Your itinerary, your pace, your French Riviera story.


This private shore excursion from Cannes puts the entire French Riviera at your disposal for seven hours, with a dedicated driver-guide who adapts every detail to your preferences. Whether you want to linger over a coastal village or cover several iconic destinations in a single day, the choice is entirely yours.

You can plan your route in advance or discuss it with your guide when you step off the ship. The flexibility extends to how long you spend in each location and exactly when you need to return to the port.

The French Riviera packs an extraordinary range of experiences into a compact stretch of coastline, from the glamour of Cannes and the history of Nice to the medieval hilltop villages of Eze and Saint-Paul de Vence. A private guide ensures you move through these places with context and ease rather than the constraints of a group tour.

Tour Highlights

Pose for a photo on the famous red carpet in Cannes, the same steps walked by international film stars each May.

Explore Monaco, including the Prince's Palace perched above the sea and the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo.

Wander Nice's old town, a labyrinth of baroque architecture centered on the famous Cours Saleya flower and produce market.

Visit Antibes and its famous marina, home to some of the largest private yachts in the world alongside a lively Provencal market.

Discover the medieval villages of Eze and Saint-Paul de Vence, perched above the Mediterranean with stone streets and panoramic views.

Travel with a private driver-guide who tailors the program to your interests and ensures a smooth return to the port on time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I decide the itinerary on the day rather than in advance?
Yes. You can establish the program before the tour or discuss it with your guide when you meet at the port. Your guide can also suggest options based on your interests and available time.

Most groups comfortably visit two to three destinations with meaningful time at each. Your guide will help you balance travel time with time spent exploring so the day does not feel rushed.
Is Monaco included as a standard stop?
Monaco is one of the available destinations you can request. Because the tour is fully customizable, it is included if you choose it as part of your itinerary rather than being a fixed stop.
Are entrance fees to the Casino de Monte-Carlo or the Prince's Palace covered?
Entrance fees are not included in the tour price. You will need to pay any admission charges directly at each site you choose to enter.
What happens if our ship's schedule changes on the day?
Inform your guide as early as possible of any schedule changes. Because this is a private tour, the guide can adjust the return time to ensure you are back at the port before your ship departs.
Is this tour suitable for travelers with limited mobility?
The overall difficulty is rated Easy, though medieval villages such as Eze and Saint-Paul de Vence have uneven cobbled streets. Travelers with mobility considerations should mention this when booking so the guide can suggest the most accessible stops.
