About this tour
Sweep across the French Riviera in a single day, visiting four distinct coastal and hilltop towns. Starting in Nice, you'll explore Antibes' old quarter and ramparts, window-shop Cannes' boulevards, stroll Mandelieu-la-Napoule's waterfront, then climb to Grasse for perfume heritage and valley views. A private driver and guide handle all logistics whilst you absorb the region's layered history, from medieval streets to Belle Époque glamour. Twelve hours, door-to-door.

What to expect
Your day unfolds as a curated loop rather than a rushed checklist. The guide narrates each town's distinct character—Antibes' defensive walls and maritime heritage, Cannes' celebrity geometry, Napoule's castle perched above the coast, Grasse's labyrinthine perfume quarter and panoramic terraces. You'll move between destinations by private car (choose comfort, luxury, or minivan), with time to wander streets, peer into shop windows, and absorb each place at a civilised pace. Wine tasting punctuates the journey. Expect to spend roughly two to three hours per location, with driving and stops between. Lunch isn't included, so budget time to eat locally.
Good to know
Wheelchair accessible throughout. Prams, specialist infant seats, and service animals all welcome. Wear comfortable shoes for old-town cobblestones. The route follows coastal roads with viewpoint stops; bring sunscreen and sunglasses. Lunch venues aren't pre-booked—ask your guide for neighbourhood recommendations.
