11 tours
The good shore excursions tours in France fill up months out and the best ones fill first. Below are the 11 to look at, each with its current price and the detail that makes it different.
D-Day beaches from Le Havre with Pointe du Hoc, Omaha, and cemeteries. Includes a baguette lunch and cruise-schedule timing.
Cruise-port Marseille tour with Notre-Dame de la Garde, Palais Longchamp, Saint Victor, Navette Biscuit, and Old Port free time.
“Good value compared to tours organized through the cruise ship, but a less organized and slightly rushed experience. The tour was over an hour later starting. The ship docked late and we still had to wait like 30 minutes for anyone to show up at the meeting location and another 30 minutes or more on the bus before getting underway. The time at each stop felt a little rushed. I think either a longer tour or one less stop would make sense. Especially the final stop near the harbour would benefit from more time so people can grab food and walk to the interesting parts, since the bus stops at…”
A 4-hour Marseille shore excursion by electric bike with port pickup, iconic stops, and 360° views from Notre-Dame de la Garde.
“We were at our pick up location on time but the other customers got there early and they left without us. They did call and returned to pick us up. We enjoyed the scope of the sights we saw. We felt unsafe for most of our time. The tour guide spent very little time explaining how the bikes work and we were not experienced with e-bikes. I would recommend this tour to experienced e-bike riders only.”
Small-group cruise shore tour of Marseille and Cassis, with scenic Route des Crêtes views and optional calanques boat.
“Ennes was wonderful. We got to go see things we wouldn’t have been able in a big group or bus setting. Highly recommended tour.”

“Our guide Pepe was amazing. Great knowledge and passion for the city and its history. He made our day fabulous and I recommend him for anyone wanting an extra special tour of these fantastic cities.”
A small-group full day from Cannes to Monaco, Eze, Antibes, and more, with guided context, scenic drives, and a Formula One circuit drive.
“Our guide Victor, was fantastic 👏 knowledgeable & friendly, he took us to many lovely sites. His warmth & charm made the experience better. The tour is incredible!”
Private Cannes day trip to Monaco and Eze with Fragonard perfume, time in Old Monaco and the Royal Palace area, and a Formula One lap.
“Oh what an amazing excursion. Our guide was informative, fun and very attentive. She let us have more time at one place when we wanted to stay a bit longer. Don't miss out on Eze!!! The fortress that you could spend a week at. In fact my husband and I are planning a trip back to spend just there. Not recommended for the older folks though, lots of climbing elevated walkways and cobblestone steps. Cannes was pretty, but Eze made the tour.”
