The 4 Self-Guided Tours on the French Riviera That Earn Their Price

1.Self Guided Antibes, Cannes & Saint Paul de Vence from Nice

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 193 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $66Our pick

Half-day road trip from Nice to Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence with hotel pickup, quick scenic stops, and art-stroll time.

“We expected a historical synopsis on this long drive but our guide did not communicate well. We would have preferred someone who spoke better English. It was not an enjoyable experience. All we got is there’s Old Town, there’s the back of old town. You can go here and walk around for 45 minutes, you can go there for 20 minutes. Here’s Cannes, here’s some big boats. Not at all what we expected. All we really had was a driver for $250.00.”
