Situated along the stunning Mediterranean coastline in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France, these two destinations offer a perfect blend of vibrant culture, glamorous marina life, and serene waterways, making this tour an unforgettable journey for outdoor adventure travelers and culture seekers alike. Your day starts with a comfortable drive from your pick-up point in Nice, where your professional guide sets the tone with engaging stories about the French Riviera’s rich history and unique charm.

The harmonious blend of water, pastel buildings, and lush greenery offer countless enchanting photo opportunities. Next, the tour heads to the world-renowned town of Saint-Tropez. Once a humble fishing village, Saint-Tropez rose to fame in the mid-20th century as a playground for artists and celebrities. Stroll its lively old town streets lined with quaint cafes, boutiques, and markets. Visit the iconic marina filled with luxury yachts, a dazzling display of nautical extravagance fitting the Riviera’s glamourous reputation. Learn about the town’s fascinating history and cultural significance through your guide’s insightful commentary. You’ll have free time to enjoy lunch independently at one of the many excellent local eateries. The afternoon is reserved for relaxation by the sea on one of the Riviera’s finest sandy beaches. Whether you prefer a vineyard picnic, a refreshing swim, or a leisurely walk along the shore, this time lets you absorb the region’s natural beauty and Mediterranean atmosphere at your own pace. Traveling in a climate-controlled Mercedes minivan with a small group size of seven, this private tour ensures comfort and exclusivity. Bottled water is provided to keep you refreshed, and optional services like a boat ride in Port Grimaud or lunch reservations can be arranged.
