Excursion d'une demi-journée à Cannes, Antibes et Saint-Paul-de-Vence au départ de Nice

Just waned to see Cannes, not enough time spent there. Antibes and St, Paul de Vence lots of shops and restaurants just to spend money, Did not interest me.

My tour guide was kind enough to let me know, the day before, that my pick-up time would be later than originally scheduled. I loved visiting each of the stops and getting the chance to walk around and enjoy each city. My guide also allowed us to have a little extra time in Antibes and pointed out two original Picasso paintings houses in a restaurant in St Paul de Vence.

We enjoyed this half day excursion to Cannes, etc. but was a bit quick. Spent more time in Antibes and St. Paul De Vence rather than Cannes which is a larger city and more touristy. Our guide which basically drives you to the sites, did a good job of pointing out info in the van that was nice to know. We recommend it but it is a quickie..

The “driver-guide”, who never introduced herself properly to us, was lacking enthusiasm. Rather than properly introducing Nice and Cannes or the other destinations, she played music for 20 mins during the drive to Cannes and said none of us were interested in the history of Cannes. She also “took a short cut” up the hill to “avoid traffic” after leaving the highway on the way to Cannes. Instead of the lovely seaside and beaches of Cannes, we only saw residential areas. At the stop of Cannes we got to see the venue for the film festival for 20 minutes . No time or chance was given to experience or take photos of the beach or seaside of Cannes. For the rest of our journey in the city, the driver merely drove past the city at full speed, feeding our minds whenever our group mates asked. At Antibes, the driver gave brief introductions and wasn't polite towards any further questions. The time at Antibes was somewhat adequate for a very brief idea of the town. At St. Paul de Vence, we had no chance to take photos of the whole village from afar, as the driver always seemed to make haste. She was also murmuring to herself as she ‘unfold’ the story of the town. Her lacklustre introduction was sheer perfunctory. The time allowed for each place was very limited as she said in a strict tone that no one should be late. It's always like we were procrastinators. We wondered why it was a half day tour if the time was inadequate. Unlike other tours we joined in Nice, she did not walk us along any place. She only assumed her role as chauffeur. It's the only scar in our stay in Nice!

I was nervous after reading other reviews but found this tour to be well worth the money and was able to see some great stops in the little time we were spending in the Nice area. The company was very accommodating. Recommended!

Overall, the trip was good and we got to see all the key locations in a very time efficient way. Would have loved to spend a little more time at St Paul De Vence. Also, the tour company needs to help the guides with a mic so he / she is audible at the back of the car. We couldn't hear any information since we were sitting at the back. The drop off was not at the hotel, but at some common point, so you need to ensure that travelers get dropped back to the hotel.

Enjoyable half day tour. Driver provided timely van pick-up and drop off. My wife and I were very comfortable. We visited Cannes walked along the famous film festival red carpet, then visited Antibes, and went through the old town and the market square to the 'port of billionaires with the top luxury yachts belonging to oil sheikhs or multinational companies. We also visited Saint-Paul-De-Vence. Overall a very nice tour.
