Overview

Cannes can feel glamorous but impenetrable for first-time visitors and is best navigated with a guide who knows its best bits. This small-group walking tour pairs you with a local who leads you from the Provençal stalls of Marché Forville up through the old town of Le Suquet, then down past the Palais des Festivals to the Croisette. Cover the shopping streets, history, and seafront in one outing.
  • See Cannes on foot and access areas that tour buses can’t reach
  • Lean on a local guide for the stories and history behind the film festival
  • Climb to the city's finest vantage points for panoramic photo opportunities
  • Receive a small souvenir as a unique keepsake from your trip

    Not worth it.

    HOYT_L, Oct 2025
    Guide showed up 45 minutes late. Not a good way to start. Not really anything exciting about the tour. Nothing very memorable about Cannes.

    Nice tour

    Nice not complicated tour, it was hot day the guide was trying to use the shade as much as possible .

    Don't pay for a free tour

    Victor_Z, Jun 2025
    Booked the review; then found out that it is also available as a free guided walking tour. The tour guide's explanations were not up to the standard of other guides we've had.

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Hi Victor, Tip based tours are a concept where you rate and tip as you think the guide deserve to be. The amount you paid on this platform is based on an average tip that people leave along with the platform commission of course, so it is only a fair amount spent in the end (which is exposed to high french taxes and high cost of living in the area). We are still providing an alternative to tours 10times more expensive :-) Nothing is free nowadays and the guides are trying to make a living from sharing their passion to the city. The guide on your tour was new to the role that's probably why you had this feeling, he might not have said it as didn't wanted to be judged before the start. We all need to start somewhere and even with training, it takes a bit to get fully comfortable with the role. He stll have his guide license which recently took him about 2 years of studies. Of course as far as it is disappointing to us that you didn't had the ideal tour, we appreciate to consider those factors. Sorry again for the inconvenience and thanks for your understanding. All the best. Happy travels :-)

    Nice snapshot of Cannes

    I booked this tour at the last minute and I am so glad that I did. Frederica was so personable and an excellent guide. She took us to see lots of points of interest, as well as the film festival palace. I would not have known that my hotel was this close to the beach had I not gone on this tour.

    Absolutely perfect 109%

    Lucia was absolutely fantastic and was so helpful, informative and really just perfect - we saw all the sights - and she was good about comfort stops and we had time to browse the food market and sample some produce 100% can’t wait to see her for my tour in Antibes 👍🌟⭐️

    A morning stroll in Cannes

    Ertha_B, Jun 2024
    Cannes is a beautiful city on the French Riviera, and it was a special thrill to stand near the red-carpeted stairs leading to the Palais des Festival, where our favorite movies and stars are celebrated. The views from the Notre Dame cathedral are spectacular and our tour guide was very well informed and upbeat, making the walk even more interesting. I highly recommend this tour as an easy way to see the city and learn a bit more about its history.

    Decent experience in canned

    DARREN_H, Apr 2024
    Nice tour sauce and memorable places, the group was large and hard to manage. That said in canns, I would recommend this as a good way to see all the major spots

    Great walking tour of Cannes

    Bonnie_A, Oct 2023
    Our guide was very knowledgeable of Cannes and its history and the importance of the film festival. Went out of her way to make sure we saw the best parts of the city. Highly recommend.

    Great tour, best guide!

    Maxime_M, Sep 2023
    Lovely tour by a lovely guide. Lucia was amazing. Tour pace was bearable amid the heat, and she took the time to answer everybody’s questions, even had a nice chat with some lovely locals around! She is a true passionate and professional at core, I would recommend this tour and Lucia any day!

    Ysa was funny, friendly and took the walking tour at a good pace on a very warm day. A sustainable and fun way to learn about Cannes. Thanks so much.

    Great walking tour

    The tour of Cannes was very informative and showed us the old town, cinema district, and market area. Our hosts were knowable and made the tour fun...
