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.

Tour was very nice. A lot of steps. Sometimes hard to keep up with the group because I tend to be slow.

There is a nice review of the history of Cannes as well as the history of the movie industry. There was a walking tour of the old town.

Extensive history of film festival. How it became developed and why it wound up in Cannes. Noted as one of th most prestigious festivals. Toured the city by foot. Very enjoyable.

It 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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Sarit. Learning about the history of Cannes town and the Cannes Film Festival. Inside information on Festival activities and tour of the stars handprints. Following this a walk through the old town up to the view point which was outstanding. Then walking back down through the markets and shops. Sarit was welcomkng, helpful and informative. From this experience we will definitely do other walking tours in towns we visit.

Sarit did an excellent job of talking about the film industry in Cannes as well as covering the history of Cannes and the local markets. Really enjoyed hearing about the Cannes film festival and her experiences being part of the festival.

Sarit was a great tour guide! It was interesting learning all about the Cannes Film Festival and how the film industry works. We also enjoyed learning about the history of Cannes and visiting historical sites/top city attractions. Sarit also did a great job introducing us to local food. We even got to try several things! The tour overall gave us a wonderful understanding of Cannes and the culture. It was also the perfect length!

Sarit was amazing! Well informed, passionate about the topic and sensitive to the needs and interests of our small group, even in the heat! This was my 3rd time in Cannes, but my first tour and I think we picked the best.

There is 250 meter vertical climb to the castle. Worth it for the view. Sarit is a superb guide. Knowledgeable and excellent English. Recommended.
