About the tour

Your tour takes you to: San Remo ➔ Menton ➔ Èze ➔ Cannes ➔ St Tropez ➔ Verdon Gorge

Discover the allure of the French and Italian Riviera on this unforgettable tour with not one but two tour guides. Between Tammie’s vast experience as a tour guide and Natalija’s local knowledge while currently living in Cannes, it’s the perfect mix of expertise and authenticity, ensuring you get an insider's perspective and a truly immersive experience.

Begin in San Remo, the city of flowers and Italian elegance, before crossing into Menton, known for its pastel streets and citrus-scented air. You can fit in a day trip to the glamorous Monaco. Ascend to the stunning hilltop village of Èze, where medieval charm meets sweeping coastal views. Wander the chic Croisette of Cannes and bask in the glamour of St. Tropez, where golden beaches and a vibrant atmosphere await. Finally, marvel at the dramatic beauty of Verdon Gorge, known as the "Grand Canyon of Europe". This tour invites you to experience breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and the dazzling Mediterranean lifestyle all in one incredible journey.

Your trip includes economy return airfares (up to $2850). Hotels in stunning locations — 4 nights in San Remo (Italy), 3 nights in Menton, 3 nights in Èze, 3 nights in Cannes, 3 nights in St Tropez, 3 nights in Verdon Gorge = Total of 19 hotel nights. Taxes, transfers to hotels, all trains, ferries and buses between towns, any meals and day trips that have been specified in the itinerary.

  • Limited time inclusions

    Prices are broken in to three groups. All prices include economy return airfares in forward zone seats up to the cost of $2850 (please enquire further if you want business class or premium economy seat prices, specific airlines, deviations, extensions or stopovers), taxes, transfers to hotels from the airport or port, all trains, ferries and buses, any meals and day trips that have been specified in the itinerary. The difference in the prices of Budget, Mid Range & Luxury reflect the hotels only. The Riviera do not have many big hotel-style resorts, they have boutique hotels. All hotels will be within a very short walking distance from each other depending on the category you choose. Most rooms are twin or triple rooms so groups of 4 will likely be broken in to two twin rooms and groups of 5 will likely be in a twin and a triple room. Where family rooms are available they will be booked in as one apartment/room.

    Hotels in stunning locations — 4 nights in San Remo (Italy), 3 nights in Menton, 3 nights in Èze, 3 nights in Cannes, 3 nights in St Tropez, 3 nights in Verdon Gorge = Total of 19 hotel nights.

    If adverse weather or other circumstances prevent access to any destination it may be interchanged with nearby towns. This situation would be discussed at length with the group.

    A $1000 deposit per person is required to hold your space on the tour. This is an incredibly unique tour so spaces are very limited.
