2.1 or 2-Day Hop-on Hop-off Sightseeing Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 105 reviews · 1 - 2 days · from $25Best value

Ride through Antibes, Juan-Les-Pins, and Cap d’Antibes on a modern open-top bus with UV-protected windows, a retractable roof, and audio commentary in 10 languages. Use the four stops to visit Old Antibes, Fort-Carré, Port Vauban, Juan-Les-Pins, and the Garoupe coast. A 1-day pass suits most visitors, while a 2-day pass allows more time on foot.

“Te duur. De gids gaf ons slechts 5 min om bij La Chapelle te kijken en naar het uitzicht. Hij kwam zelf overal iets te laat maar was boos omdat wij iets later bij de bus kwamen. Waarom daar geen point de départ maken?”

3.2-Day Normandy & Brittany Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 93 reviews · 2 days · from $588

Travel from Paris by air-conditioned coach through Rouen, Honfleur, Normandy, and Brittany. You’ll visit Omaha Beach, the American cemetery, Saint-Malo, and Mont Saint-Michel with a licensed English or Spanish-speaking guide. Guides such as Leila, Layla, and Sultan have earned praise for their clear history talks, though the pace leaves limited time at D-Day sites.

“Solo traveler here — the tour allowed me to see some of the most beautiful towns in a really efficient, informative, safe, and stress-free way. These tours are led by seasoned pros who know how to set and manage expectation. Leyla, our guide, was top-notch.”
