Private Day Tour from Nice
Private Cannes, Antibes & Saint-Paul-de-Vence Tour from Nice
A full-day journey through the art, history, and coastal beauty of the French Riviera
This private French Riviera day tour from Nice takes you through some of the most iconic and culturally rich destinations on the Cote d'Azur, from the glamour of Cannes to the medieval lanes of Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Travel in a spacious, air-conditioned vehicle with Wi-Fi and bottled water, accompanied by a professional English-speaking driver who keeps the pace suited to your group.
The itinerary spans eight hours and covers six distinct stops, each with its own character. Cannes offers the famous Croisette Boulevard and the Palais des Festivals, while the hilltop villages of Mougins and Vallauris bring the legacy of Picasso into focus through art galleries, pottery studios, and quiet historic streets.
The coastal stretch through Antibes and Cap d'Antibes adds a different dimension, combining a working fishing port and old-town market scene with a scenic drive past pine-lined roads, luxury villas, and panoramic views over the Baie des Anges. The day concludes in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of the best-preserved medieval villages in southern France.
