Vira_T, Sep 2026

Amazing day on the water!

We had the most wonderful experience on the boat! Celia and Eric incredibly warm, welcoming, and kind, and they truly made us feel like guests rather than customers. Most importantly, my grandparents had an unforgettable experience out on the water, and it was so special to be able to share that with them. The whole morning was beautiful and memorable from start to finish. And of course, Jack the pet bird was such a fun addition to the experience. He absolutely loved my grandma, which made the day even more special! 🐦❤️ We are so grateful for the wonderful hospitality and would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area!

Great boating day in Cannes! A definite must do!

We had such an amazing time on the boat tour in Cannes with Madeleine! It was beautiful to see the city from the water and being out on the water was the perfect way to experience the French Riviera. The boat was comfortable, and the whole experience was relaxing and enjoyable from start to finish. There was great snorkelling and water activities as well. The crew was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better. It was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Cannes, and we would highly recommend this boat tour to anyone visiting the area. 🌊☀️🇫🇷.

The best way to see Cannes

We took this tour with Daniel and he is such a good person. A truly genuine and kind hearted soul. Not only is he quite experienced in life, he's very knowledgeable about Cannes and that's not even mentioning his amazing 1968 French bus! He built the bus himself (except for the seats) but it's comfortable, it's really cool to look at and it's very fun to tour in. Cannes has an interesting history and sorta a small town feel though it's a very busy and beautiful place in the French Riviera. Dan has 1 of only 100 permits to drive on the main street in front of the theater where the film festival is held which is probably the most famous event that Cannes is known for though it does have other well known events and historic places. This was one of our favorite places we visited mostly because Dan was such a great guide and such a kind person. Please please treat yourself if you're gonna be in Cannes and take this tour with Dan in his amazing French bus, you will not regret it, nor will you ever forget it!

Splendid way to spend a half day!

This itinerary is a good way to sample three very different locations with distinct personalities. If you don’t have a car, this an easy way to cover a lot of territory in a little time. Our tour was hosted by Eda, who is gracious, knowledgeable, and delightful company. She’s a safe driver with a clean, comfortable car. Eda is more that willing to accommodate adjustments to the planned itinerary. She shares true insider information that’s interesting and easy to listen to. Highly recommend!

Lovely South of France Private Drive

Alain was very professional and told lovely historical and current day stories and facts about the region. My 20 year old sons loved the time in Monaco and loved the panorama view points of the region. A special experience for our private van experience. Alain made several recommendations for lunch with a few and we had a lovely time by one of the marinas. I would book his services again and I will share with South of France travel clients in the future. Merci Beaucoup

So fun and relaxing. The coastline is beautiful and our guide gave great commentary. He stopped at a beautiful spot to swim and snorkel. Although not that much to see snorkeling, a few fish and an occasional little jellyfish, the water is so clear and beautiful. We had soooo much fun. Even saw a dolphin on the way back in. I highly recommend this trip.

Elsi Cela was a terrific guide. Very knowledgeable and fun. He took us to some amazing places. He knew all the shortcuts and got us to the top of the lines. He was patient- offered to take lots of pics, he provided bottled water, and even gave me 2 euros for the WC. We could never have covered so much ground so fast with a large tour group. Two thumbs up for Elsi
