Overview of your Nice tour

This excursion that I have composed in three stages will allow you to see the old medieval town of Antibes by the sea, Cannes known to all for its legendary "croisette boulevard" its hotels and luxury haute couture boutiques, not to mention the famous stairs of the film festival palace most often named "red carpet" for the photo with friends or family. With these two superb coastal towns, I thought why not add the "beautiful" Saint-Paul-de-Vence, inland only 30 minutes from Nice, which I know perfectly well; this medieval village which is quite simply the most visited place on the French Riviera. This is an excursion that can be put in any order! So don't hesitate to book this tour with me, I would be able to answer all your questions that only a guide who knows the region well could. . . .

Client Feedback Submitted on Behalf Dr. Christie (traveling with a group of friends) Our arrival in Nice could not have been smoother thanks to Philippe. Despite our early flight from London and being quite tired, he immediately put us at ease. He was punctual, warm, friendly, and gave us the flexibility to shape the day based on how we were feeling. We visited Antibes, St. Paul de Vence, and Nice, and he made each stop feel meaningful without rushing us. His commentary was interesting, his pacing was perfect, and he showed us some truly beautiful sights. We feel we made the absolute most of our time because of him. Eze, in particular, was a highlight and truly a must-see. Highly recommend Philippe for anyone arriving in Nice and wanting to start their trip with a seamless, enjoyable, and engaging day.

Philippe is SO much fun -- a great guide, he easily kept the timing on track and provided lots of interesting commentary throughout Cannes, Antibes and St Paul de Vence. I thoroughly enjoyed the day spent with him and highly recommend him to anyone interested in seeing these charming villages in the south of France.

Phillipe is wonderful! Had a most enjoyable day exploring the French Riviera. Pointed out historical sites but also had time to stroll around, explore on our own. He can adjust the tour to your group’s needs. Left us with great memories. Thanks

Your Nice tour itinerary

- Let's start for example with Antibes: 40 minutes from Nice by the coast. Stop at Port Vauban opposite the fortified city and its Provencal market in the heart of the city, perfect to start the day. You will stay there long enough to stroll through its narrow shopping streets. - 2nd stage: Cannes via the coast on the Cap d Antibes also crossing cities such as Juan-les-Pins and Golfe Juan in 45 minutes with some historical anecdotes. We drive on the Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes to the Palais des Festivals at The Red Carpet. I will explain where to go and what to see, we will also spend a lot of time there. - Let's leave Cannes to reach Saint-Paul-de-Vence in an hour's drive. This village dating from the Middle Ages is the most visited on the French Riviera, the temple of modern art, painters as Matisse, Chagall, Braque, Picasso use to spend life time and also movies stars. Let's try to spend as much time as possible in this wonderful village. Tour can be customized according to your wishes.
