About this tour

What to expect
Your driver collects you at your chosen time and drives south toward Cannes, a 1.5-hour journey from Nice. Once there, you'll have time to wander the Promenade de la Croisette, duck into boutique lanes, or grab lunch overlooking the Mediterranean. From Cannes, it's another 2.5 hours to Marseille. You'll arrive at Vieux-Port, where fishing boats still dock and restaurants line the quays. The pace is entirely yours—your driver knows the routes and can suggest stops, but won't rush you. Return transport to Nice takes roughly three hours.
