Cannes Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Elsi was our guide and he was excellent! So kind to pick us up at our Airbnb in Cannes despite the tour taking place in Monaco, Eze, and Nice. All the sights were covered and he even brought us to Antibes when it was difficult to navigate well in Nice because of the ongoing Iron Man competition. Elsi is very considerate, knew his history and was a pleasure to have as our guide!

Great trip, friendly captain, would recommend 100%

Very nice sail to Île Sainte-Marguerite that included a snorkel, swim and available paddle board. The ship is very nice, and our guide/captain was great. The wine and snack was also a treat. Highly recommend this trip.

Greg was the best! He made pick up easy, helping us find him by walking all the way to the street from the dock as there was a boat show going on in Cannes.He’s professional and friendly, brought a great speaker for music, and prepared fresh fruit, meats, and snacks for us while we swam. Greg was knowledgeable and the area, so we learned some Cannes and Lerins Islands history while we were there. He also had some cool water gadgets and floating carpets for us.Highly recommend!!!

Very professional, organised and safe. The team were brilliant and fun. We had a fantastic 30 mins. Thanks heaps. We'll be back.

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. 🌊☀️🇫🇷.

Valerie was a wonderful guide for our family vacation. She was helpful on the boat, avoided big waves on the way to islands, etc. We had a great day

A very beautiful boat trip, the captain Valentin is charming and friendly, the regional products accompanied by local wine were delicious. We had an excellent time between swimming and a superb sunset. We will go back there for sure!!!

We had a great time on Valentino’s yacht and the trip was very relaxing, comfortable and enjoyable. There were 9 of us in total, so a nice number and our sailing companions were lovely. Valentino waited for us all to settle down with each other and then gave us some interesting background information on the area. He took us to a safe place to swim and there was no pressure on those who wanted to relax on the boat. We had plenty of time swimming, snorkelling or on the paddle board. Valentino kindly offered to take photos for us. Breakfast was orange juice, bread, jam and tea/coffee and was plenty enough for us. The wind wasn’t strong enough for the sails to take us all the way back to port but it was still a fun experience. We really enjoyed the 2.5 hour trip - thank you Valentino for taking us.

Wonderful time and experience. Highly recommend!! We went to Nice, Cannes and Antibes. Monte Carlo was largely shut down due to bike race. We had a great time and were able to spend it where and when we wanted. Elsi was our guide and we could not have been happier with his service and accommodation. Ask for Elsi and you won’t be disappointed!

We had an absolutely magnificent day on a boat! ☀️⛵️ The atmosphere was very pleasant and Greg was truly adorable: very funny, available, and always taking great care of us.The lunch was also top-notch: fruit, cheese, ham, cherry tomatoes, and breadsticks, accompanied by prosecco and rosé wine. 🍓🧀🥂 Everything was perfect!A superb experience that we recommend without hesitation. Thanks Greg for this very beautiful day! ❤️

Very nice family outing! Valérie, our skipper, was very professional and took great care of us. The communication regarding the pickup location was very clear and perfectly organized. She helped us discover a superb swimming spot near Saint-Honorat Island, where we admired a splendid sunset, lulled by the singing of the cicadas. A wonderful moment shared with the family, which we will keep as a very fond memory. We highly recommend this outing and will not hesitate to repeat the experience!

Amazing experience highlighting best to see

nice afternoon out on sea. Swimming time could have been longer. Overall: would book again.

If you choose to hire a driver and guide and do not select Romy you are making a massive mistake. She drove us for 2 days and one day was even her birthday. Amazing!

If you’re visiting Cannes, don’t miss this walking tour! Our guide Sarit, a talented screenwriter, brought the city to life with fascinating stories, cinematic insights, and local history that you simply won’t find in a guidebook.She was the perfect combination of professional, creative, and genuinely passionate about Cannes and the film industry. The storytelling kept everyone engaged from start to finish, and she happily answered questions while tailoring the tour to our group’s interests.Despite the scorching July heat, she remained upbeat, flexible, and accommodating, making adjustments to keep everyone as comfortable as possible. Her enthusiasm never faded, and it was clear he truly loves what she does.This was one of the highlights of our visit to the French Riviera. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an entertaining, informative, and memorable experience in Cannes. Five stars!
