Private day tour - Tour 17
From Cannes, Villefranche, Antibes or Monaco
Overview
Make the most of your time on the French Riviera with a private, fully customized shore excursion, carefully planned around your ship's schedule.
From the moment you leave the port, your day is designed around your interests, your pace and the experiences you want to discover, with a carefully planned return to your ship before departure.
Whether you are visiting the Riviera for the first time or looking to discover a different side of the region, we create a private experience that is entirely yours.
A Sample Day. Your day might begin with a private pick-up directly from the port, followed by a scenic drive along the Mediterranean coast. You could explore Èze and its medieval streets, continue to Monaco for a taste of Riviera glamour, and stop at a panoramic viewpoint along the Corniche. Alternatively, you might head into the hills to discover a traditional Provençal village, visit a local producer and enjoy a long lunch before returning towards the coast. There is no fixed route and no standard program.
Your Day, Your Way. Tell us what you would like to see, taste or experience, and we will create a private itinerary around you. We take into consideration your ship's arrival and departure times, the time available ashore, your interests and priorities, your preferred pace, the ages and interests of your group, and the season and weather conditions.
Private, Flexible, Fully Customized. We take care of the route, timing and logistics - including a carefully planned return to your port before your ship's departure. So you can simply enjoy your experience on the French Riviera.
Authentic experiences
Beyond the ordinary: back roads, workshops and family producers alongside the famous names.
100% private
No other guests, no fixed script. The order and the stops shift with your mood and the weather.
Local expert
Fouad guides, drives and joins your group - stories, insider tips and personal insight all day.
The day, stop by stop
Your itinerary can be built around one theme or combine several experiences.
Discover the iconic highlights of the French Riviera. Explore Nice, Èze, Monaco, travel along the legendary Corniche roads and enjoy spectacular views over the Mediterranean.
You can combine famous landmarks with quieter viewpoints and hidden corners, creating a day that goes beyond the usual sightseeing tour.
Leave the coast behind and discover the authentic villages perched in the hills above the Riviera. Wander through medieval streets, historic villages and charming squares, meet local artisans and enjoy panoramic views over the Mediterranean and surrounding countryside.
Discover the flavours of the South of France. Visit local wineries, explore Provençal markets, taste regional specialties or enjoy a relaxed lunch in a carefully selected restaurant.
From local wines and olive oil to traditional Provençal cuisine, the day can be built around the tastes and products that interest you most.
Explore another side of the French Riviera, from the Mediterranean coastline to the mountains. Enjoy spectacular viewpoints, scenic drives, hidden valleys and peaceful landscapes away from the main tourist routes.
Go beyond the traditional sightseeing itinerary and discover the people, traditions and know-how that make the region unique. Meet local artisans and producers, visit small villages, discover traditional products or explore places that are often missed by visitors.
The goal is simple: to experience the French Riviera rather than simply see it.

Practical
Timing
We build the day around the tender schedule and the all-aboard time, with a safety margin. We have never missed a ship.
Meeting point
At the port gate or the tender dock, with a sign. Tell us your ship name and port at the request stage.
Group size
Private for your party only, 1 to 7 guests. Two vehicles for larger groups.
If the ship is delayed
We wait. If the call is cancelled by the cruise line, the tour is cancelled at no cost to you.
Good to know
We pick you up at your hotel, villa or the cruise terminal. Departure is usually between 8:30 and 9:30 - earlier to beat the crowds, later if you are on holiday and it is holiday time.
We book the table, you choose the register: a gastronomic restaurant, a Provençal bistro, or a farm table. Lunch is not included in the tour price so that you keep the choice. Dietary requirements are never a problem - tell us in advance.
English or French by default. Spanish, Arabic and Berber are also possible - Fouad speaks all five.
Often the best plan. The second day is quoted at a reduced rate.
The day shifts without losing its character. We only cancel for genuinely unsafe mountain or sea conditions, and then we reschedule or refund.
You receive a written proposal with a firm price for your group. No deposit is required to hold a date more than a week out. Payment on the day, by card or in cash.
Reviews
Fouad noticed the cruise crowds that day and took our small group off the beaten path - hillside towns, new places, and a delicious lunch overlooking the hills.Brian Keeley, USA
Great personality, knew all the shortcuts, and really just a cool guy. One of my favorite guides!Thomas Beck, USA
Fouad took us to beautiful out-of-the-way vineyards, and lunch afterwards in Saint-Tropez. He went above and beyond, helping us ship wine back home.Marcus Loy
