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.

See the real Cannes - Great tour with Lucia. We were a group of three. Lucia showed us the old part which was pedestrianised recently. Some lovely independent shops and winding streets. Lucia explained that fellow Brit Lord Henry Braugham decided to chill here in 1834 and others followed his example. So the modern Cannes developed. Great to feel there is a real Cannes beyond all the glitz and glamour. Brava Lucia e mille grazie.

Excellent tour - Walking tour met at 10.30am, near the SNCF Cannes, and finished at 12.10pm next to the festival hall steps. A couple of people were late so, the guide Frederica kindly waited 10 mins (a tad annoying for the rest of the group who managed to be on time)
We went to the old town, markets, church and festival hall. The guide was knowledgeable and engaging during the tour, with fantastic English.
Good way to see parts of a city you may not know.

A morning stroll in Cannes - 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.
