See medieval Eze, Monaco’s palace, Monte Carlo and the Formula One circuit on a private eight-hour shore trip from Cannes.
“Unfortunately, we were not able to port in Cannes, France due to the French Navy doing drilling exercises. Viator's guide was not able to go to the port either. We learned this less than the 24 hours that was necessary to get a refund. The most frustrating part is that the Viator guide would not have been able to fulfill this tour either as the port was closed and he could not pick us up. I contacted the Viator guide immediately to let them know this. The guide had already learned the port was closed so never even left his home to pick us up. I tried to dispute us…”
Review of a private Cannes shore excursion covering Eze, Monaco, Monte Carlo, Antibes, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, and Cannes in eight hours.
“Margarite was very knowledgeable about the history. Our friends in the back of the vehicle could not hear. A speaker system/microphone would help a lot. Also the seats facing backwards were not useful as she pointed out places on the excursion. There was more strenuous walking than anticipated (our group of eight were 70-74). Overall it was a good excursion.”
Review of a private Cannes shore excursion to Eze, Monaco, and Monte Carlo, with scenic stops, a perfume visit, and cruise-port pickup.
“We shared the excursion cost with another family we'd never met (prior to the cruise). Doing a private tour allowed us to see all the Cannes, Monte Carlo/Monaco sights we wanted to (cutting out the perfume factory that we didn't care about) within the time allotted with our cruise ship schedule. The group tours timelines didn't allow for it. It worked out great! Our driver/tour guide was terrific, perfectly in tune with where to go/when to maximize our time and we all enjoyed the sights & experience very much! We got back to port in plenty of time and the rain didn't dampen our wonderful day at all! Highly recommend!…”
Review of a private Cannes shore excursion to Nice, Eze, Monaco, and Monte Carlo, with flexible planning, port pickup, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Sights were amazing but the communication was non existent. We emailed and sent what’s app messages and tried calling half a dozen times to no avail. We finally had someone pick up ten minutes before meeting time and they were not helpful other than saying we would be picked up. The driver was ok, he drove a little crazy and drove into traffic which cause 40 min delay and made us nervous we were going to miss our ship. We got to see what we wanted, but not the best experience.”
See Cannes, Antibes, Nice, Eze, Monaco, and Monte-Carlo in one private Riviera day with flexible stops and guide Sasha.
“Sasha was fantastic! Our private tour was for a family group of 16 and he managed to keep us moving and interested in everything that we saw. Including the 4 teenagers. The views and locations that he shared with us were spectacular. This was my second time in the area we saw all the popular sites and Sasha also took us to unexpected hidden gems that were away from the massive crowds. We took it as a shore excursion and he made sure we were back on time. Loved, loved our tour. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is visiting the French Riviera.”
Review of a private Cannes shore excursion with Antibes, Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Nice, Eze, Monaco options, and cruise-safe transport.
“Yannick was an excellent driver, and he took us to the best sights. We had lots of things we wanted to see in a limited amount of time, he took us to all and got us back to our cruise ship with time to spare. We went to Monaco, Monte Carlo, drove the Grand Prix, ate at his favorite restaurant, Nice, top of Eze and Cannes Film Festival. He would stop all along the road for us to take pictures. Great experience would definitely recommend!!!”
