Antibes is one of France’s oldest cities which was founded by Greek merchants in the 5th century and where nowadays the genuine Provencal Market goers and the very rich Yacht-owners meet in one single town. It is one of the most attractive and interesting places to visit on this section of the coast, with all the ingredients you could hope for - an attractive seafront area, historic buildings, and an interesting old town with a traditional market.
Finally, you will discover St Paul de Vence that is certainly one of the most beautiful villages in Provence, recognized for its cultural and artistic note. You will notice that art is very present here, through many workshops or galleries. Art galleries will immerse you in the past. St Paul de Vence is the cradle of artists, writers, poets (Prévert, Pagnol) and painters (Chagall, Picasso, Matisse).

We enjoyed the tour and the three cities. I would recommend the tour and driver that we had. My only disappointment was that we could not hear him speak or any commentary in the very back wheee we had to sit the entire time.
St-Paul-de-Vence is a magnificent site not to be missed!!! We even preferred it to Cannes. Pure beauty and it would have needed more time.
This half day trip was the perfect amount of guided tour by van, telling us all kinds of background information, and then free time in each town to do whatever we wished, on our own. We really enjoyed it.
I took this tour with my daughter. We were bitterly disappointed. Our driver, Laurent, was grumpy, negative and argumentative. He was totally unsuited to the job of a tour guide. He complained incessantly about how uneducated people were nowadays, how much better the South of France was in the past and how tourism had ruined the area. He kept saying how awful Cannes was, even tho it was part of our itinerary. He made us feel really uncomfortable. The places we went to were great but he spoiled our enjoyment of the experience.
I enjoyed my day with my guide Rapheal. He was kind, informative and made my experience delightful. I saw all the highlights I came to see and more. Raphael also was attentive to my needs getting in out of the van due to my foot brace. Thank you.
Trip was fantastic for a family of 5. We were picked up on the right time directly from our hotel by a very helpful driver come guide Guido. Travel was cozy, not rushed and we stopped in key spots with adequate time.
Driver did not turn up at the appointed time and did not respond to our several calls. No communication with customers in advance even there are unexpected issues. A simple call will help even if driver is late. Totally irresponsible. Very disappointed.
We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. The guide encountered an unexpected issue which caused a delay. Our team did try to contact you by phone in advance to inform you about this delay. The guide did come to the meeting point to pick you up, however you chose not to proceed with the tour at that time. We sincerely apologize for the situation.
An amazing experience knowing his story and seeing such beautiful things, Mr. Rafael treated us very well, was very friendly and helpful.
An amazing afternoon! We loved this trip. Cannes, Antibes and Saint Paul de Vence were all beautiful but our tour guide Sam made the day so memorable because he told us so much information and history. Sam was a very friendly guide who made us so welcome and helped make our trip unforgettable. Truly a 5 Star tour guide! Sincere thanks Sam.
Nicole was a wonderful person with the explanation of the places and kept with her timing. She also followed us to take pictures and made us feel comfortable. Thanks Nicole.
