South and west of the Riviera, Provence trades glamour for lavender fields, hilltop wine villages, and Roman history - our tours from Marseille and Toulon reach Aix-en-Provence, Cassis and the limestone Calanques, while St. Tropez pairs its own harbor with the countryside villages above town. All of our French Riviera and Provence excursions include a licensed English-speaking driver-guide and a private vehicle for your group only, with our back-to-ship guarantee on every tour.

Frequently Asked Questions - French Riviera Shore Excursions
What makes the French Riviera different from the rest of France?
The French Riviera, or Cote d'Azur, is the glamorous stretch of Mediterranean coastline running roughly from Cannes to Menton, famous for its film festivals, royal history in Monaco, and pastel-colored coastal towns. It's a distinct cultural identity from Provence just inland, or Normandy and the Atlantic coast farther north.
Can I visit Monaco from a Riviera cruise port?
Yes. Monaco is reachable as a day tour from Nice, Villefranche, Cannes and Antibes, and is also a direct cruise port of its own for ships that dock at the principality. Most Riviera itineraries pair Monaco and Monte Carlo with the hilltop village of Eze.
What is the difference between the Riviera and Provence?
The Riviera refers to the coastal strip from roughly Cannes to Menton, defined by its beaches and resort towns. Provence is the broader inland region to the west, known for lavender fields, vineyards, hilltop villages, and Roman ruins - reached from ports like Marseille and Toulon.
What is the back-to-ship guarantee?
Our back-to-ship guarantee means that if an unforeseen delay during your private tour prevents you from returning to the cruise terminal before your ship departs, we will arrange and cover the cost of transportation to your next port of call. This guarantee applies to all private shore excursions booked through us in the French Riviera and Provence. Your tour must be scheduled to return to the ship 1.5 hours prior to ship departure.
