Itinerary
Stroll along the iconic La Croisette promenade, the symbol of Cannes’ elegance and seaside charm. Visit the world-famous Palais des Festivals, home of the Cannes Film Festival, and walk up the legendary red carpet steps—perfect for photos and a taste of movie-star glamour.
One of the oldest cities on the French Riviera, founded by Greek traders in the 5th century BC. Today, Antibes blends authentic Provençal life with the luxury of the modern Riviera. Explore its picturesque old town, wander through the lively Provençal Market, and admire the impressive yachts of Port Vauban, one of Europe’s largest marinas. While in Antibes, you’ll also have the chance to see the Picasso Museum, located in the historic Château Grimaldi overlooking the sea. This is the first museum in the world dedicated to Picasso, who lived and worked here in 1946. Discover a unique collection of his paintings, drawings, and ceramics created during his stay in Antibes, as well as works from other major contemporary artists inspired by the Mediterranean light
The enchanting medieval village of Saint-Paul-de-Vence, perched between the Mediterranean Sea and the foothills of the Southern Alps. Walk its cobbled streets, admire the ancient ramparts, and discover a town rich in artistic heritage. Saint-Paul-de-Vence has inspired countless artists, writers, and poets such as Prévert, Pagnol, Chagall, Picasso, and Matisse. Today, its charming lanes are filled with art galleries, studios, and workshops.

We had a wonderful experience exploring Cannes, Antibes, and Saint-Paul-de-Vence! A special thank you to our guide, Elsi, who was friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He made the tour enjoyable and memorable. The car was also spotless and very comfortable. Everything was perfectly organized. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Nice!
We had an amazing experience with our guide! He was incredibly professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. He made every moment special, sharing interesting stories, local insights, and hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own. The tour was perfectly organized, enjoyable, and full of unforgettable moments. His kindness, positive energy, and attention to detail made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the South of France! Thank you for making our trip so memorable. We would definitely choose you again!
We had a wonderful experience with Elsi! He is a very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional guide who made the tour both enjoyable and interesting. He shared fascinating information about the places we visited and made us feel very comfortable throughout the experience. The car was spotless, clean, and comfortable. Everything was perfectly organised. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable tour of the French Riviera!
Great tour for first time visitors. Friendly guide and a good opportunity to briefly visit these locations.
Experience was great, took us where we wanted to go. Showed us exactly what we wanted. Also let us wonder on our own to have a great time together. Toon pictures of us during the whole trip so that was also great.
Elsi was a wonderful guide and driver. He told us about the major sights to visit in each town and we found his insight very helpful. I only wish we had longer in each town. Overall I would highly recommend booking this tour as a great overview of Cannes, Antibes and St. Paul de Vence. Thank you Elsi.
Great, fun, VIP experience. Our guide Eda was wonderful went above and beyond to make our tour experience great.
Excellent private tour of St Paul de Vence, Antibes and Cannes… great way to sample the Côte d’Azur for a first time visitor. Our guide was very friendly and accommodating.
Elsi was the best tour guide we had on our trip. He was friendly and professional. He made the tour fun and relaxing. There was never the feeling of being rushed from one point to the other the entire tour. He was very knowledgeable about the places we visited. It was a very enjoyable afternoon made even better by a great tour guide.
Elsi Cela is, in our view, an exceptional guide, and it was a genuine pleasure exploring the region with him. He is consistently punctual, highly knowledgeable, and communicates with clarity and ease. We recommend him without hesitation for anyone seeking a tour around the Côte d’Azur.
A very professional guide, Elsi gave us a wonderful tour, allowing us to modify as needed. I recommend him highly. Upon return to our hotel I realized I had left my phone in his car. He walked back to our hotel after he had arrived at home and found a parking spot (hard to do in Nice). Additionally he to took photos and sent them to us. You will learn and enjoy your tour with Elsi as your tour guide
Traffic delayed our trip and had to adjust time in Cannes but guide gave us extra time in San Paul de Vence. Need an audio guide to tour Medieval Village or brochure if semi- guided tour.
Pros - It’s a great way to visit multiple towns in half a day without having to think about transportation. - Except for Antibes, we had around an hour of free time in each of the other two towns, which we appreciated. - Eda was communicative via WhatsApp about her arrival. Cons - The main issue for us was a lack of professionalism. She kept answering what I assume were personal calls on speaker while we were in the car. She did apologize for one of them, which was a longer call. - I’d say she was more of a driver than a guide, though she did provide some information along the way. This was okay for us, but if you’re looking for a guide who provides a lot of information, this tour may not be for you.
Eda, our tour guide went above and beyond on this one. She showed us some magnificent sites and filled us in on extra places to eat and enjoy. We had a wonderful time
This itinerary is a good way to sample three very different locations with distinct personalities. If you don’t have a car, this an easy way to cover a lot of territory in a little time. Our tour was hosted by Eda, who is gracious, knowledgeable, and delightful company. She’s a safe driver with a clean, comfortable car. Eda is more that willing to accommodate adjustments to the planned itinerary. She shares true insider information that’s interesting and easy to listen to. Highly recommend!
What a wonderful experience with the best tour guide! She took us to three different cities and was very knowledgeable. Aside from her intelligence, she was so pleasant to be around and had wonderful energy throughout the entirety of our journey. She made us so comfortable and gave us wonderful recommendations! Because of her personality, I felt like I was on a trip with a friend. Can’t recommend this experience enough!
My Mom and I had a fantastic day with Elsi. Shortly after booking the tour he contacted us on WhatsApp to arrange our Nice hotel pick up location. He arrived on time and his car was clean, comfortable and air conditioned. He offered us bottled water. We visited Antibes, Cannes and Saint Paul de Vence. Because it is a private tour, you are able to decide how much or how little time you would like to spend at each location. He walked with us in Antibes and Saint Paul de Vence. We walked by ourselves in Cannes but he gave a suggested route and pick up spot. We were happy to have booked this tour because it was nice to have someone else do all the navigating and driving so we could just enjoy the sights. He also played fun upbeat music in the car. I would definitely recommend doing this tour. Thank you Elsi!
Elsi was absolutely lovely!! We loved our time with him. He was very informed, gave us a really good history of all the places we went too, flexible, and was overall just a great person to talk too. We would absolutely recommend him as well as the tour to all our friends and family. Couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience!
Elsi is awesome! The type of guide who knows how to give flexibility, guidance and structure when needed. We appreciated his calm, friendly demeanor and suggestions on where to go based on what we wanted to do. The perfect balance.
Tour guide was very accommodating. Sympathetic when we were all dealing with extreme heat. He was kind enough to offer us water. He took us around and gave us opportunity and time to walk around
Elsi was very knowledgeable and friendly. He made our tour very comfortable. We would highly recommend this tour
Beautiful tour!! We loved the experience!! We would highly recommend for anyone who wants to see additional cities in the area.
We had a great time on this private tour and Elsi was adjustable to how we wanted to customize the day. We were traveling with a 1 year old so we had to remain flexible which was accommodated for. He was personable and felt like family which made the day so much more fun!
Eda was a terrific guide and I highly recommend this tour to get an overview of Antibes, St Paul de Vence and Cannes. We spent 1.5 hrs in Antibes and St Paul de Vence walking around with her for a bit and then having some free time. She communicated extremely well, was a lot of fun and listened to what we wanted to do. We really enjoyed our day with her!
We had a wonderful day with Elsi our tour guide. This was our first private tour and found it well worth paying a little more as Elsi made sure he got the feel of what interested us most and customized our tour accordingly. The car was clean and comfortable, and we saw all the highlights of Antibes and St Paul de Vence taking in all the Beautiful Views and will cherish the many photos Elsi took for us. Highly recommend booking tours with Elsi!!
We had a great time! Everything was customized for more or less time at each of our stops based on our preferences. Elsi was very communicative- he let us know he was running a few minutes late to pick us up at the start of the tour. He was also easy to get in touch with when he dropped us off at different stops. It was a nice easy going afternoon and nice to be driven around!
When we booked this the details were that we were each place 1 hour 1/2 but only place we were close to this time was in Cannes. Our guide seemed to be in a rush. Didn’t feel at all as a private tour.
Eda was our tour guide and was terrific. She was very flexible and we changed our tour to spend more time in Antibes, as Cannes was not of interest to us. What a great day. We had a bit of extra time and Eda strongly suggested we visit the waterfall in Nice, before going back to the hotel. Great suggestion and Eda was simply a great guide.
Wow highly impressed with Elsi our guide. He was just the nicest guy. He took us to St Paul de Vence first, which was a fantastic idea to beat all the tour buses. Next up was Antibes and oh my lordy the huge Billionaire's boats. Such a beautiful old town. We spent the longest time ( as you can choose how long in each place) in Cannes. Thank you Elsi Cela for making our day so enjoyable.
Elsi is a fun travel guide. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable. We had a lot of fun with him.
Elsi was an amazing tour guide. We didn't have time to visit Antibes but we did st Paul, Cannes and some views in Nice. ST Paul was spectacular. Cannes was very busy only had time to see the steps, eat and leave. Elsi took us to the Chateau in Nice and it was wonderful. Grateful for Elsi for showing us a great time. I would probably recommend just doing two places.
A wonderful way to see three unique French towns each with its own character and charm. Elsi was an engaging guide who provided a great experience.
Elsi was an exceptional tour guide and truly went above and beyond to make our day memorable. Despite the heavy rain, he remained positive, flexible, and determined to ensure we had the best possible experience. He adjusted plans when needed, shared fascinating information, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. What impressed us most was his genuine care and dedication. His professionalism, knowledge, and friendly personality made all the difference. We are incredibly grateful for his efforts and would highly recommend Elsi to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, attentive, and outstanding guide. Thank you for making our day so special!
Excellent tour with very nice and professional guide Elsi, I highly recommend it 3 very pretty and different sites
Elsi was a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and helpful. He showed us spots we would have never found on our own.
We had a wonderful 5 hour tour of the highlights of Cannes, Antibes and St Paul with Elsi yesterday! He was very professional, accomodated us by picking us up at our hotel in Mougins (thank you!) and had insightful knowledge of the area. With the film festival starting soon we cannot have imagined trying to drive through the area ourselves. Having Elsi guide us made the whole experience easy and enjoyable!
Great introduction to the area and the guide is fantastic . Loved St Paul de Vence - charming old walled-in village with phenomenal views. Cannes is one of those places you go to because you're here in the area and it's famous for the film festival - enjoyed it but now that I've been I do t really need to go back. Very glad we did this tour and Highly recommend if you're looking for a short day trip from Nice.
Elsi was an incredible tour guide and we loved our tour with him! He knows all the best spots and when to go. We loved our tour so much we booked another with him! Highly recommend doing a tour with Elsi, you won’t regret it!
Awesome day traveling around with Elsi! We hit all the best spots and he was a great guide! Highly recommend!
Great tour. Each location enjoyable, but St Paul-de-Vence was the shining star. You will want to spend all day there.
Elsi Cela is a great tour guide. He is courteous, knowledgeable and accommodating to our pace. He planned out the schedule so we can cover all the featured points of interest in the limited time we have.
Elsi was extremely knowledgeable and patient during the entire trip. He adjusted the pace and points of interest based on what we were most interested in. I would highly recommend Elsi as a guide for any tour in the Riviera that you want to take. It is worth it to have a guide like Elsi
Elsi knew a lot about the area and was a great tour guide. He also took a lot of pictures to make sure we didn’t miss anything and could just enjoy the trip. Overall would recommend!
Elsi was a wonderful guide - very warm and friendly. This is a great way to see the highlights of this area. Strongly recommend this trip!
Elsi was such a great guide. He was informative, thoughtful, easy-going and fun that our day flew by! We most enjoyed the stops to St Paul de Vence and Antibes because they were so picturesque, charming, and artistic. Also, Elsi took photos of us throughout the journey so if we missed anything, he caught it! Would totally recommend a trip with Elsi should your schedule allow.
We went on a private tour with Elsi and he was great, flexible, patient, and nice. We would recommend touring with him if you’re in the Nice area.
10/10, absolutely loved it and learned a lot about each city visited! Elsi was the tour guide who shared a lot about St Paul de Vence, Antibes, Cannes, and I saw a lot of different sites in just 4 - 5 hours for the tour. Definitely recommend this experience to others visiting Nice and wishing to see the other nearby cities.
Great experience. Great driver, clean car, explain everything easy to communicate English. Exellent skills. I suggest to everyone enjoy this trip with Elsi.
We had such a great time on the tour. Elsi was very kind, and the car was spotless and comfortable. Everything was perfect!
