Cannes Tours & Sightseeing

What a great booking! price is amazing compared to the local hotels Options. Skipper is additional to Cool Cannes cost but WAY worth it. Skipper was very flexible as to where you wanted to go and do. Boat has stand up paddle and life vest for those that can’t swim or need assistance. Great driving as well, ride was soo smooth! Definitely would rebook!

We booked the same day for a private excursion with our group of 4 people, including a child. Communication with the provider was very smooth. It was a particularly pleasant experience!We met Tomy, our skipper, a very friendly person who knew how to further brighten up our excursion.I highly recommend this excursion.The only small point I would like to come back to concerns the skipper's fees. I don't know if this is related to the Cool Cannes platform, but I think it would be simpler to display the skipper's fees in addition during the booking process to avoid any confusion with customers.

A different rour operator canceled on us and we ended up booking this tour at the last minute - and I'm so glad we did! This was an excellent tour, and our guide/driver, Nicolas, was great! He picked us up on time, kept us on schedule, provided interesting information and history during the tour and drove very well. The Mercedes minivan was spacious and comfortable. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend this tour!

My friends and I had a wonderful day out with Jerome. We went to Gordes (where he booked us in for lunch at a lovely restaurant), Roussillon then Fontaine de Vaucluse. Jerome spoke very good English and was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the areas. Amazing day being chauffeured through the French countryside. ☀️ 🍾 🏡 👌 #southoffrance🇫🇷☀️

Exploring the French Riviera: My Journey Through Nice, Monaco & CannesA Mediterranean escape filled with turquoise waters, charming streets, historic landmarks, and unforgettable momentsDay 1: Arrival in Nice – Gateway to the French Riviera The adventure began the moment I landed at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, the third busiest airport in France and one of the most scenic arrivals in Europe. As the aircraft descended over the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, the vibrant blue coastline welcomed me to the glamorous French Riviera.Stepping outside the terminal, I was greeted by warm Mediterranean sunshine, swaying palm trees, and a refreshing sea breeze. The relaxed atmosphere instantly set the tone for what would become one of my most memorable European trips.Discovering NiceNice effortlessly blends history, culture, and seaside beauty. Walking through the city felt like exploring an open-air museum where colorful streets meet elegant boulevards and breathtaking coastal views.A Walk Through History One of the first architectural gems I encountered was this beautiful historic church, standing proudly amidst flowering bougainvillea and palm trees. The elegant façade, detailed stonework, and religious artwork reflected the city’s rich cultural heritage.The peaceful surroundings offered a perfect contrast to the lively streets nearby, making it an ideal stop to appreciate the city’s timeless charm.Nature in the Heart of the City Beyond its famous beaches, Nice also surprised me with lush green spaces and exotic wildlife. Watching a group of elegant pink flamingos peacefully feeding in a tropical garden was an unexpected highlight.Surrounded by dense greenery and shimmering reflections on the water, this tranquil oasis provided a refreshing escape from the bustling city streets. It reminded me that travel isn’t only about famous landmarks—sometimes the quiet moments become the most memorable.Why Nice Captured My HeartNice is much more than a gateway to the French Riviera. It offers:* A perfect blend of French and Mediterranean culture. * Beautiful architecture around every corner. * Relaxed seaside vibes. * Excellent cafés and local cuisine. * Easy access to Monaco, Cannes, and other Riviera towns.Whether strolling along the Promenade des Anglais, wandering through Old Nice, or discovering hidden gardens, every corner has its own unique story.Day 2 : MonacoLeaving Nice behind, the journey continued east along one of Europe’s most scenic coastal routes. Within a short train ride, the skyline transformed into the luxurious principality of Monaco, famous for its glamorous casinos, superyachts, Formula 1 circuit, and breathtaking cliffside views.One Day Walking Tour of Monaco: Exploring the World’s Most Glamorous PrincipalityThere are few places in the world where luxury, history, breathtaking coastal views, and timeless elegance come together as effortlessly as they do in Monaco. Although it is the second-smallest country in the world, Monaco is packed with iconic landmarks that can easily be explored on foot in a single day.The journey began with a scenic train ride from Nice, hugging the Mediterranean coastline before arriving at Monaco-Monte Carlo station. Stepping out of the station, I was immediately struck by how clean, organized, and sophisticated everything felt.Unlike many European cities, Monaco is built on steep hills, but an impressive network of elevators, escalators, and public walkways makes getting around surprisingly easy.Monte Carlo: The Heart of LuxuryIn the afternoon, I walked downhill toward Monte Carlo.The scenery gradually transformed from historic streets into grand boulevards lined with luxury boutiques, exotic sports cars, and elegant hotels.The centerpiece, of course, was the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo.Its Belle Époque architecture is breathtaking, and the beautifully landscaped gardens surrounding the casino are perfect for leisurely strolls and photography.Tips for Your Own One-Day Monaco Walking Tour* Wear comfortable walking shoes, as there are many hills and stairways. * Start early to enjoy quieter streets and cooler temperatures. * Use Monaco’s free public elevators to save time and energy. * Carry a reusable water bottle, especially during summer. * Plan around the Changing of the Guard if you’d like to witness the ceremony. * End your day at Port Hercule or the casino gardens for unforgettable sunset views. * Bikes often considered as best and cost effective way of exploring Monaco. Find a place where you can rent bikes.Day 3 A Perfect One-Day Trip from Nice to Cannes: A Walking Tour Along the French RivieraThe French Riviera is famous for its glamorous towns, stunning Mediterranean coastline, and relaxed coastal charm While Nice makes an excellent base for exploring the region, one destination that deserves a place on every itinerary is Cannes.

Perfect recommended trip during June .

We are 2 grandparents, our daughter, and our 11-year-old granddaughter, who went on a 2-week cruise/trip to Italy, France, and Spain. We did 11 tours during the 2 weeks, and this tour with Jerome was our family's favorite one! He picked us at the pier in his comfortable van after we got off the cruise ship, and took us on an all-day private tour of the "perched" medieval villages of the back country with a stop in Grasse for a perfume factory tour. Because it was a private tour, Jerome was happy to make adjustments to the tour to fit our needs. After having just been in Rome, Pisa, and Portofino, where there were thousands of other tourists, this tour was a peaceful and pleasant break from the crowds. Jerome is interesting, intelligent, kind, thoughtful, and speaks excellent English. He was a pleasure to spend the day with. He taught us so much about France and its history, and made it interesting, even for our 11-year-old granddaughter. We weren't sure we wanted to do the perfume tour in Grasse, because we aren't really perfume wearers, but we ended up loving that part of the tour, seeing the flower fields where high-end perfumes come from, seeing the production facility and learning about the perfume-making process. We had fun getting to sample lots of different perfumes in their beautiful gift shop, and we ended up picking out some lovely French perfumes, lotions and soaps to take back home with us. The villages Jerome took us to were so beautiful that we now want to go back to them someday. I highly recommend this tour. It was worth every penny we paid for it!

Rene was friendly, knowledgable and personalised our tour. The tour was beyond our expectation. Merci beaucoup Renee.

Beautiful places. Grimaud is amazing and St. Tropez is a dream. Tarte Tropezienne is delicious!! Driver was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Philipe picked us up just as we exited the cruise ship in Cannes...so convenient! We had customized this day to visit Eze and St. Paul de Vence. We loved both towns and Philipe gave us excellent car service!

Hello me and my family were delighted to take the tour with this company we left Cannes to go to the village of eze visit Fragonard the perfumery then Monaco the day went by at crazy speed it was great thank you again

Excellent introduction to the Côte d‘Azur outside of Nice. Comfortable Mercedes van for a maximum of four guests.Please be aware that Eze village is quite a climb up a lot of uneven steps from the parking lot. Not suited for anybody with even the slightest mobility limitation. Everything else was absolutely easy to walk and highly interesting. We had a great time and now have some ideas for a future visit to the area.The driver/guide was very nice and well informed.Pro tip: ask the driver to skip the perfume “factory“. It‘s a cattle drive designed to get huge groups of visitors through an exhibit and into a gift shop and a massive waste of time. If you’re interested in perfume go to Maison Molinard in Nice.

I can highly recommend the "Alpes Maritimes'' tour. On this tour, I visited the following places: Eze, Monaco, St-Paul-de-Vence, Antibes and Cannes. The tour is an excellent way to get a first impression of each of these places, so you can later revisit one of them to spend some more time there if you like. My tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and drove in a calm way. I was lucky enough to be the only participant on the tour, so the places we visited could be tailored to my interests. The places I visited were all beautiful in their own way and it was wonderful to not have to worry about getting from point A to B on my own while also being provided with a wealth of background information from my marvelous tour guide.

Victor our tour guide really went out of his way to give us insight into the area and surprised my daughter and son with a gift at the perfume factory. We loved the tour and his engaging personailty really made it a joy.

Our tour guide met us at the port and gave us a wonderful tour of Cannes....the city of the famous film festival. She spoke English with a French accent but was understandable. The perfume factory in Grasse was a great tour in itself. All in all a great tour. Cheaper than than what the cruise line offered. Also, we had an eight year old. Everything with the cruise included a 2 hour stay at the casino in Monaco.

Super experience! How wonderful to dive into the sea completely relaxed from the boat. Definitely recommended.

An unforgettable trip on a comfortable boat. It’s a must-do in Cannes. Captain Jeremy was very pleasant and attentive to our needs, ensuring our time on board was comfortable. We will definitely be back. I recommend Leo Boat if safety and comfort are important to you.
