French Riviera private shore excursions                                

For cruise passengers docking in the main French Riviera and Provence ports — including Cannes, Antibes, Nice / Villefranche-sur-Mer, Monaco / Monte-Carlo*, Saint-Tropez, Toulon / La Seyne-sur-Mer and Marseille — So Nice Tours offers a carefully curated selection of private shore excursions along the Côte d’Azur.

 

Designed specifically for cruise travelers, our private tours combine the must-see highlights of the French Riviera with lesser-known scenic spots that most visitors never get to discover. From glamorous seaside towns to picturesque hilltop villages and breathtaking mountain landscapes, our itineraries showcase the diversity and charm of the region.

 

Our shore excursions focus on comfort, flexibility, and exclusivity. We plan routes that are efficient and well-timed, taking into account your ship’s schedule to ensure a stress-free experience. Every itinerary is crafted to minimize travel time while maximizing what you see and experience during your day ashore, all at a relaxed pace.

 

If you have specific interests — such as history, art, local cuisine, shopping, photography, or panoramic viewpoints — we are happy to customize a private sightseeing tour that matches your preferences, your pace, and the time you have available.

 

A seamless experience from port to port

 

As soon as you step off your cruise ship, you will be welcomed by your professional, English-speaking tour guide. Your guide will accompany you throughout the day, sharing insights about the French Riviera’s history, culture, and lifestyle while ensuring a smooth and enjoyable visit.

 

You will travel in a modern, clean, and comfortable air-conditioned minivan, equipped with fresh bottled water for your convenience.

 

Each minivan can accommodate up to eight passengers. For larger groups, we work closely with trusted local partner guides and can arrange multiple vehicles to keep your party together.

If your group is smaller than eight, you may consider sharing the tour with other cruise passengers to reduce costs, for example through cruise forums or roll calls.
