Secrets of winemaking and perfumery on the Côte d'Azur Cannes Shore Excursion
Overview
Our guide welcomes you in the port of Cannes right after your disembarkment and that’s when you land in our caring hands for 8 following hours and take you for a ride westbound from Cannes. As this is a private tour, we’ll be happy to adopt it to your individual expectations.
• Our first stop takes place in Eze Village – medieval old town perched on a rocky hill part of which would still remember the times of Roman Empire.
