TOUR DESCRIPTION
 

Cannes Shore Excursion

This Cannes shore trip visits a local Italian market where you can shop for food (think cheese & wine) or clothes (think leather goods). Next your driver-guide takes you to the charming Italian village of Dolceacqua where you have time for lunch and to explore this hidden gem.

After meeting your
driver-guide at the pier in Cannes, you drive on the scenic Upper Corniche, enjoying dramatic views as you head towards the Italian border. Your first stop today is either in Sanremo or Ventimiglia, depending on which town is hosting a local market. Sanremo's market days are Tuesday and Saturday and the largest market is in Ventimiglia on Friday. On these days you can shop for local fruits, vegetables, cheeses, meats but also Italian leather goods (shoes, hand bags, belts) and clothing, all at a fraction of the cost in stores.

Next you visit the charming medieval village of Dolceacqua which is also located in the Italian Riviera but very close to the border with France. This village is dominated by its 13th century castle. You stop for a visit to take in the local charm and have free time for lunch (meal not included).

At the end of this Cannes day trip you are brought back to the pier or your hotel.

Mobility - Folding wheelchair OK, some sites may be inaccessible (advance notice required)

5 of 5 Review Location- Cannes May 15, 2026
Reviewer: Diane O from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania  
We took a private tour of Monaco and Eze during a cruise that stopped in Cannes. Our driver, Pierre, was amazing. He was so courteous, friendly, and helpful. He made us feel like we were traveling with a good friend. He picked us up right on time, offered very interesting information on the ride and had some great suggestions on where to go. A very memorable trip!! I feel lucky to have found Private Shore Trips. I

The tour was great. I forgot the name of the tour guide but he was very nice, patient, and informative. He took us to places without rushing us and giving us plenty of time to explore. Thank you, your tour was great, I definitely recommend your tour to my friends if they visit Cannes.
