Cannes Shore Excursions & Cannes Tours - Monaco, Eze, Nice, Grasse & the French Riviera
A note on Cannes: Cannes is a tender port - your ship anchors in the Bay of Cannes and tender boats bring you ashore to the Old Port in 10 to 15 minutes each way. All Cannes shore excursions use a driver-guide format - one English-speaking professional who both drives and provides commentary in a premium private vehicle. The narrow lanes of the Cote d'Azur hill villages are navigated by your guide, not by coach.
Cannes is a tender port on the French Riviera - your ship anchors in the Bay of Cannes and tender boats bring you ashore to the Old Port, steps from the famous Croisette promenade and the Palais des Festivals. From here, the entire Cote d'Azur opens up. Cannes shore excursions from Private Shore Trips cover the full breadth of the French Riviera with a private driver-guide and vehicle. Our most popular Cannes tour is the Riviera Highlights private shore excursion - a full day taking you to Monaco and the Grand Prix circuit of Monte Carlo, the Principality Palace and Cathedral, and a scenic drive along the Grande Corniche with panoramic views over the Riviera coastline. For guests who want the most dramatic hilltop scenery, the Hilltop French Riviera private shore excursion visits Saint-Paul-de-Vence - known for its medieval walls and gallery-lined lanes - and Eze, the eagle's nest village perched 400 meters above the sea with views across the Ligurian coast to Italy on a clear day. The perfume town of Grasse, 30 minutes inland from Cannes, is the historic capital of the French fragrance industry - home to Fragonard, Galimard, and Molinard - and is included on the Best of French Riviera private shore excursion.
For guests who want complete flexibility, the Flexible French Riviera tours (6 or 8 hours) let you build the day with your driver-guide when you meet at the tender dock. A 6-hour Cannes tour can typically cover two to three destinations; an 8-hour tour covers three to four. All Cannes shore excursions and Cannes tours include an English-speaking driver-guide, a private vehicle, and our back-to-ship guarantee. Reserve with a $50 deposit.
