Half-day trip from Nice to Eze, Monaco, Monte-Carlo, with Fragonard perfume, palace views, and a Formula 1 circuit drive.

“We had a great time on our tour! I thought it would be in a big coach bus, but it was in a van that fit 8 of us. Eze was a nice surprise, a smaller walled medieval city with winding narrow alleys. Definitely fun to explore. In Monaco, we drove on the actual path of the Formula One race cars, so much fun! As we drove by Monaco’s port, we had a glimpse of all the yachts and mega yachts. I didn’t realize Monte Carlo was just up the hill and walking distance from the port. It was Christmas time, all the decorations were up and a lot of…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 214 reviews · 4 hours · from $135

Half-day Cannes catamaran cruise to the Lérins Islands with snorkeling, paddleboards, and a cold buffet lunch plus rosé.

“The half day catamaran tour was worth every penny! It was a little bit confusing on where to go, the ticket didn’t explain but there are two big counters you go up to and we were pointed in the right direction. Make sure to bring a towel and sunscreen. The views were beautiful, I wish the captain would’ve given us some information on the area. Lunch was provided and was definitely a lot of food. There was pasta, chicken, pizza, and dessert. Make sure you get on the boat early because the best seats get taken first. Drinks are available for purchase so bring cash. There are pool noodles, snorkels,…”

Private half-day French Riviera tour in a 1950s Citroën Traction Avant. Customize stops from Cannes to Grasse, with guided visits.

“Philippe was an excellent communicator and guide. He reached out to us a few months before our trip to discuss options and make sure that he developed an itinerary that met our needs. We had never been to the area and he shared some of the traffic issues that we may encounter with our plans. The forecast was for torrential rain on the day of our trip and he offered us alternative options. Fortunately the forecast was wrong and the weather was beautiful. We went to Cannes during the film festival. He was correct that we were in traffic for awhile. He escorted us through Cannes to show us the…”
