Guided Tour in Cannes by a Screenwriter: History, Glamour & Cinema
Overview
Available languages
2 hours 40 minutes
Mobile ticket
A guided tour by a screenwriter, a historical researcher and an emerging filmmaker who participates every year in the Cannes Film Festival. I have great knowledge of the film and TV industry which is rapidly changing.
Cannes is a feast for the senses. From a sleepy fishing village to a world-renowned vacation spot full of stars and wannabees. How did this happen? Come listen to all the juicy gossip from the film festival, who did what and who missed out. What did the man in the iron mask and Napoleon end up doing in Cannes? Where are the best restaurants? What are these tasty delights in the markets? Cannes, beautiful and timeless as ever with long beaches as far as the eye can see.
Cruise ship passenger? My pleasure to meet you at the cruise ship terminal as you get off your tender boat. Intimate small groups with no audio guiding system. The starting time is listed at 10:30am however if your cruise ship arrives later I can tailor the tour to fit your arrival time.

1.00The person who was doing this your was rude, and unreasonable. First they changed the time of tour to accommodate others even though we expressed concern. Then our port got cancelled, and they were unwilling to refund. Said it wasn't there fault the port was cancelled and they had already prepared for the day. It wasn't our fault either as we were at the mercy of the cruise line. So they basically pocketed anyone from our cruise money and provided no tour or compensation.
Very nice

5.00It was a very good experience! The tour guide was super nice and very friendly. She knew a lot about Cannes, France. She gave us a tour around the local market and explained to us all the film festival things and we walked around town and she gave us some good food suggestions. I learned a lot about France and the filming there.
