  • • Tour: Cinematic Riviera

    ◦ url: https://letsgonice.com/tour-cinematic-riviera/

    ◦ The route includes Saint-Tropez, Port Grimaud and Cannes – towns known from films, festivals and iconic harbour scenes. From former film locations to promenades and marinas, this tour shows the French Riviera as it appears in European cinema and popular culture.

  • • Tour: French Elegance

    ◦ url: https://letsgonice.com/tour-french-elegance/

    ◦ This tour leads through Eze Village, Menton and the Principality of Monaco – places associated with the elegance of the French Riviera. Stone villages above the sea, manicured gardens, architecture and views that have long defined the most classic image of the Côte d’Azur.

  • • Tour: Italian Riviera

    ◦ url: https://letsgonice.com/tour-italian-riviera/

    ◦ This tour crosses into Italy, visiting coastal San Remo and the medieval village of Dolceacqua inland. In a single day you can feel the contrast between the French Riviera and Liguria – in architecture, streets and daily life - only a short drive from Nice.

  • • Tour: Verdon Gorge

    ◦ url: https://letsgonice.com/tour-verdon-gorge/

    ◦ We travel to Verdon Gorge and Lake Sainte-Croix, where the water shifts from turquoise to deep green and the canyon walls reveal a scale photos cannot capture. Along the way there are viewpoints, small towns and places where you naturally want to stop and take it all in.

  • • Tour: A Day Exclusively for You

    ◦ url: https://letsgonice.com/a-day-exclusively-for-you/

    ◦ This is a day without a preset plan. We can focus on one place, combine several towns or follow a specific theme. The route is shaped entirely around what you want to see – Nice, the coast, the hills or less obvious locations away from the main routes.

  • • Tour: French Inspiration

    ◦ url: https://letsgonice.com/tour-french-inspiration/

    ◦ This full-day tour follows three places deeply rooted in French culture that have inspired artists, filmmakers, and perfumers for decades. Antibes, Cannes, and Grasse form a coherent story about French style, sensitivity, and artistic expression—distinctly different from the atmosphere known from the Italian Riviera border.

  • • Tour: Groups & Companies

    ◦ url: https://letsgonice.com/tour-groups-companies/

    ◦ This offer is designed for companies and organizers working with groups of 6–60+ people who need a local guide and efficient on-site execution on the French Riviera — with full control of the plan on the organizer’s side and flexible support during the day.
