If you’ve ever dreamed of cruising through the glamorous streets of Cannes in a sleek Ferrari, this experience promises just that — with the added bonus of professional photos and personalized service. While we haven’t personally taken this exact tour, reviews from past travelers paint a clear picture: it’s a fun, memorable way to indulge in a touch of luxury and capture stunning moments of your trip.
What we love about this experience is its compact duration that feels just right, the chance to have a professional photographer behind the wheel, and the opportunity to enjoy Cannes’ most iconic sights in an incomparable style. That said, it’s worth noting that the small car can be a tight squeeze for taller passengers and only runs for about 35 minutes, so it’s definitely a short but memorable thrill.
This tour is perfect for those wanting a quick burst of luxury, a few incredible photos, or a fun family activity. If you’re after a longer scenic drive or hilltop views, this might feel a bit limited in scope. Still, it’s an ideal choice for anyone who loves cars, wants a unique keepsake, or simply wants to feel like a celebrity in Cannes.

Exploring the Itinerary in Detail

Starting Point: Boulevard De La Croisette
The experience kicks off on Cannes’ most famous boulevard, where your photographer-guide will meet you at the designated spot on Croisette Beach. Here, you’ll get an initial glimpse of the luxury hotels and upscale boutiques that line the promenade, setting an opulent tone for your ride. Guests frequently mention the professionalism and friendliness of guides, with some names like Laurent and Alison praised for their courteous manner and local knowledge.
The Ferrari Ride: Along the Most Glamorous Streets
Once seated in your bright red Ferrari, you’ll start cruising along the Croisette. Past reviews point out how enjoyable it is to listen to the V8 engine roar, a sensory highlight that adds to the thrill. The guide will take you past Cannes’ swanky hotels and high-end shops, giving you a taste of the city’s luxury scene.
Stop at Port Canto for Photos
The next stop is at Canto harbor, where the real magic happens. Here, the focus shifts from driving to capturing memories. Past guests have appreciated the skill of the photographer-guide in snapping beautiful shots with the yachts and sparkling water as a backdrop. Emilia even notes she got sunset photos, which suggests timing can enhance the experience.
Scenic Views of the Lérins Islands
The final segment of the ride offers a glimpse of the Lérins Islands from a distance. While the tour doesn’t include a boat or island visit, the views from the roadside are still impressive, especially when combined with the soundtrack of the Ferrari’s engine.
Return and Photo Delivery
After the tour, you’ll receive a photo package as a memento of your experience. Guests have shared how the professional photos, taken by the guide, were a highlight—perfect for sharing on social media or as a souvenir.
What Makes the Experience Stand Out?
Luxury and Style: The Ferrari itself is a head-turner, and departing from La Croisette in such a vehicle instantly elevates your trip’s glamour factor. Multiple reviews mention how much fun it is to ride in such an iconic car, especially for families and car enthusiasts.
Professional Photographs: Having a guide who also acts as a photographer means you aren’t left fumbling with cameras or phones. Several reviews, like Marta’s, emphasize how the photos captured the luxury and excitement perfectly, making this a worthwhile add-on.
Intimate Group Size: The private nature of the tour, limited to three participants, ensures personalized attention and a more relaxed experience. This is ideal if you prefer a tailored experience rather than a large group or bus tour.
Flexible and Convenient: The tour offers pickup options and a mobile ticket, making it easy to fit into your Côte d’Azur itinerary. Operating from morning to evening gives plenty of flexibility.
Considerations and Limitations
While the experience is highly praised, it’s important to keep expectations realistic. The tour lasts about 35 minutes, which means you’ll get a quick but highly curated glimpse of Cannes. It’s perfect for a snapshot or celebration moment but not for lengthy sightseeing.
The car’s compact size can be a tight fit for taller passengers or those who prefer extra space. As some reviews mention, it’s quite snug in the back seat for taller individuals. Also, since the tour doesn’t go into the hills or beyond the city, if you’re seeking extensive scenic drives, this might not satisfy that craving.
Weather can impact the experience since the tour relies on clear views and outdoor stops. Fortunately, cancellations due to poor weather are fully refundable if you reschedule.
Price and Value Analysis
At roughly $270 for up to three people, this experience offers a high-end feel at a reasonable price point considering the luxury vehicle, professional photography, and personalized service. Compared to renting a sports car on your own, this package is more convenient and includes the added benefit of expert photos and local insights.
For a short, memorable experience that combines sightseeing, luxury, and photography, many travelers find this to be a good value. Emilia’s review notes that she appreciated the sunset photos and the professional driver, indicating quality service.
Who is This Tour Best For?
This experience is ideal for families, couples, or small groups looking for a fun, luxury moment during their stay in Cannes. It’s perfect if you want a quick adrenaline rush or to impress friends with photos of you in a Ferrari. Car enthusiasts will especially enjoy the roar of the V8 engine and the chance to ride in an iconic vehicle.
It’s also well-suited for celebration moments—such as anniversaries, birthdays, or surprises—thanks to the personalized touches and professional photography.
This isn’t the best choice if you’re after a lengthy scenic drive or hilltop views, but if you’re craving a snapshot of glamour and a souvenir photo, this tour ticks those boxes.
