Tour from Nice
Brilliant tour showing us all the highlights of the Cote d'Azur close to Nice and up into the foothills of the Alps. Our driver Thierry was enthusiastic, knowledgable and very pleasant guy with good English. Highly recommended !!

We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed discovering the highlights of the Côte d’Azur and the Alpine foothills with us. Thierry will be thrilled to know his enthusiasm, knowledge, and warm personality made such a positive impression.

The best way to see the countryside
We had the best time during this tour! Our guide David was brilliant - he was so knowledgeable and he even took us to a few extra locations as we chose to skip Cannes. The whole tour was worth every penny. From start to finish, we felt really comfortable and so happy with all the places that we got to visit that are only easily accessible by car. It was the highlight of our trip to the south of France. Also a big thank you to this lovely company as they didn't cancel our tour even though there weren't enough people. We would definitely book again when we come back.
Response from the operator: Dear Dani D, Tour Azur and your guide David are delighted to read that you enjoyed the tour so much, and thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Sincerely, Tour Azur

<p>Rolf was a great tour guide and driver. He meet us ater we got off the tender and took us to Antibes first. He then suggested St Paul's instead of Biot which we all agreed to. We loved St Paul's. Rolf was was very knowledgeable about the area</p>

Cannes Shore Excursion: Grasse, Gourdon & St Paul de Vence: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cannes.
How much does Cannes Shore Excursion: Grasse, Gourdon & St Paul de Vence cost?
+
Prices start at $461 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cannes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cannes Shore Excursion: Grasse, Gourdon & St Paul de Vence take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cannes is not rushed.
Is Cannes Shore Excursion: Grasse, Gourdon & St Paul de Vence worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cannes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cannes Shore Excursion: Grasse, Gourdon & St Paul de Vence?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cannes Shore Excursion: Grasse, Gourdon & St Paul de Vence suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cannes Shore Excursion: Grasse, Gourdon & St Paul de Vence?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cannes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cannes and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cannes Shore Excursion: Grasse, Gourdon & St Paul de Vence start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cannes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cannes?
+
On Outty we rank every Cannes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include City Tour in Cannes aboard our Classic French Bus!, Cruise / Navigation / Sunset in the Lerins Islands, Yacht Me Up All Inclusive Private Cruise Cannes Lérins Sailing. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cannes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cannes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
