Enough time to visit if you only have one day. Definitely a worthwhile investment in time and money.

Itinerary
On the first leg of your trip, soak in the views over the Mediterranean as you drive southwest along the cliffside Esterel Corniche road that hugs this stretch of shore. Have your camera poised as you pass the beautiful Esterel Massif, famous for its unique red color.
stop at the postcard-pretty town of Port Grimaud. Dubbed ‘Little Venice’, this charming place is famous for its quaint canals, little bridges and attractive houses.
Continue to the glamorous port city of St-Tropez, where you'll watch the million-dollar yachts gliding in and out of port and stroll along the lovely beachfront past stylish terrace cafés and trendy boutiques. Visit the bustling Place des Lys, where the rich and famous meet, and browse the inviting food stalls of St Tropez's vibrant Provencal market (on Tuesdays only). Before you return to Nice, enjoy free time to explore St-Tropez in your own way, and perhaps savor a scrumptious lunch at one of the classy restaurants or cafes (own expense)

My husband and I did this tour and were so excited as it was our first time visiting the French Riviera. Our tour guide NICOLAS had : No personality, no skill, no knowledge, actually rude with a Napoleon syndrome. Once in a while, drily, he would introduce or say something that’s obvious with no real explanation or history behind it. He got bothered if he was asked to repeat something he said and was not understood. The other 4 guests were also flabbergasted and I am sure probably gave him no star but we don’t have that choice. The tour is very interesting with a dull neophyte. We can say this because the day before, we had a gentleman named Jean François from Bingo tour and both he and the tour were terrific! Please check who’s doing your tour before a couple days before and if it is with Liven Up Nice and having NICOLAS as your guide please RUN as your whole day would be a horrible experience. I would recommend you to book with the same St. Tropez tour with BINGO TOUR.
The guide did not speak English very well. We got caught in traffic and he adjusted the trip to give us more time. He got us a ferry instead of driving. We tried to message when we wanted picked up but messages were not getting to him timely. He was nice and pleasant and tried hard to share information. Overall they were cute towns but not worth the long drive from Nice.
We regret to say that this “tour” was really a very expensive and unprofessional cab ride. There was no information shared on the region or st tropez during the lengthy travel time that would have been appreciated . Our tour guide was easily annoyed by us and circumstances and didn’t hesitate to show it. Worst of all , his aggressive driving made us uncomfortable and made an unpleasant end to the day . Chris L
Driver was nice, friendly, helpful. Tour needs to spend more time in St Tropez especially including lunch. Port Grimaud had surprisingly cute souvenir shops.
We had a great day with our tour guide (Bello) . He really gave us a lot of info about the region and made our day most enjoyable .
the travel guide was helpful, friendly, provided us will a lot of informations, she took care of us. thanks for her, she is amazing
The places are stunning. Our tour guide is excellent. Highly recommended. Our day was filled with surprises. It was an enjoying trip.
Spend the few extra euros on taking the ferry, you will save an hour in traffic. More time in village.
Irene our guide was knowledgeable and fun. Drive was scenic and both Port Grimaud and St Tropez are a must see. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Highly recommend!
This was a fun tour, even with cold weather and wind. Rainier is an expert guide and we highly recommend him. He is very flexible.
This was a professional tour with a skillful driver. He was courteous and knew the places well. Thank you.
Leo was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed our tour with him. As someone who was from Nice, he was able to give us a native’s perspective of the places we visited.
We had the most amazing day! Such a great way to see so much of the countryside and the beautiful towns and amazing vistas. Our tour guide Leo was the best. We learned so much about the history of France, the culture, local food and traditions.
The amount of time at stops to explore and the group was small so didn’t need to worry about people not showing up on time. It would have been helpful if the driver/guide had a wireless mike in the van. It was next to impossible to hear his delightful information while driving due to road noise. He was great but just couldn’t hear him and all the information he had to share.
It was a nice day trip. 2.5-3hrs in st tropez is more than enough as the town is quite small. Port Grimauf was cute.
Our guide, Zara, was excellent! We enjoyed our tourist trip and strongly recommend this tour with her.
The history of the area was the most memorable portion of the trip for me. St. Grimaud was a nice town and our driver was very nice, polite and helpful. However, this was not really a tour, just an overpriced ride to St. Grimaud and St. Tropez. We could have rented a car and drove and googled on our own timeline for half the price. $450 For a chauffeur ride for the day, we got screwed.
Zara was absolutely phenomenal and this made the tour to remember for a lifetime. We saw and learned so much during the full day tour. My wife and I 100% recommend!!
We get more than expected. Zara was a perfect tour guide. She told us everything about the region and the cooperation between us was brilliant.
Had a wonderful day. Highly recommend the trip. If you are lucky enough to get Zara as your Tour Guide you are guaranteed a perfect, fun and informative day. Thank you x
I’ve done this tour on Aug 14th. The day before I went for a Cote d’Azur tour with the same company and on Aug 15th for a Nice city tour. All of the tours were well done, you can see many places and sharing tours with just 4 or 5 people is more interesting than using big buses or hop on/hop off tours. Drivers are really nice and they tell you everything about the places you are going to see. Jairo Abril was super kind on our tour to St Tropez and Port Grimaud and on our way back he choosed to drive along the coast which made the end of the tour still very enjoyable. I highly recommend those Liven Up Tours!
Me and my girlfriend have had the best day with Audrey, only her 3rd week in the company but she has already shred so much knowledge! Always on time and has great recommendations! I highly recommend!
Took this tour and it was awful. No stop at Port Grimaud. Left at 9:30 and got to St Tropez at noon. Had 3 hours to eat and shop and then drove back to Nice By the time we got to St Tropez the market was closed (one of the main reasons for booking this trip) The entire trip the driver was speeding and weaving through traffic while texting on her phone A very expensive and dangerous cab ride Would never use this company again
Greg drove our very small group tour to Port Grimaud and St. Tropez and it was an absolutely fantastic day! Greg was so polite, knowledgeable (he was a 'local'), courteous and simply a marvellous driver, even helping us in and out of the van. He showed us so many sites and sights, telling us much of the history, and when we had to rejoin him at the different locations his instructions, directions and timing were spot-on. During the drive Greg was so easy to talk to and sadly the day was over before we knew it! Thank you so much Greg, our tour with you was certainly memorable, most enjoyable and we had an absolutely fantastic day ! Thoroughly recommend this tour group.
<p>For a hour and half drive away from Nice central was well worth the trip to St Tropez, stopped off on the way at Port Grimaud very similar to how Venice looks. Fantastic sights and lots of shopping outlets.<br/> Driver was very informative would highly recommend the trip to anybody.</p>
I couldn't complete the reservation. Horrible site.
Creo que dan muy poco tiempo para tan cara excursión. A mi opinión lo que más me gusto fue Grimaud , un pueblo muy lindo donde puedes pasear en en las lanchitas en el cual no pude disfrutar ya que no te dan tiempo nada más para ir al baño y salir corriendo, un mercado con muchas cosas artesanales muy lindas y los panes y comidas que venden allí muy buena . De lo contrario en saint tropez un puerto con mucha cantidad de turismo que no puedes caminar y lo único que ves es restaurantes con tiendas de diseñadores . Muy lindo el lugar pero yo no voy a Francia a comprar , sino a conocer más de su cultura . En Miami de donde soy yo , lo que se sobra es tiendas de diseñadores y celebridades . El tiempo que te cobran es en el autobús que ahí es donde se le va el tiempo a uno . En el camino . Creo que eso es lo que me cobraron .
We had a wonderful day and we were lucky to have Nathan as a guide, super nice, patient and friendly Cover. We loved the walk. Nathan thank you very much.
Dommage que l'on ait eu si peu de temps sur place pour visiter St Tropez ! Chauffeur très sympa et à la fois un très bon guide et très bon conducteur.
