About this tour
Spend nine hours exploring Saint Tropez and its hinterland from Nice, guided through the town's layered past and present character. You'll travel in an air-conditioned coach with a professional guide who knows the area's history and quirks. The day covers the Côte d'Azur's most famous port town, taking in both the polished waterfront and quieter neighbourhoods beyond the yacht-lined harbour. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Nice bookend the journey.
Highlights
- Wander Saint Tropez's working fishing quarter and market streets
- Learn the town's transformation from sleepy village to celebrity magnet
- Explore quieter backstreets away from the main harbour crowds
- See the Citadelle and fortified old town from above
- Drive through surrounding Provençal countryside and villages
- Return to Nice with time to reflect on the day's discoveries
What to expect
You'll be collected from your Nice hotel early and driven along the coast towards Saint Tropez. Once there, your guide leads you through the compact old town on foot, pointing out architectural landmarks and explaining how the place evolved from a Byzantine settlement to a 1950s magnet for artists and actors. You'll see the castle overlooking the bay, walk past the fishing boats at anchor, and browse the streets where locals still shop and live. The afternoon might include a village nearby or a higher vantage point over the coast. The return to Nice takes the full route back, completing nine hours total.
