The Itinerary and Locations

This tour is designed to give you the best possible photos in some of the most beautiful spots on the French Riviera. Whether you pick Antibes, St. Paul de Vence, or Nice, your photographer will guide you to the locations that best suit your style and preferences.

In Antibes, we loved how the narrow, charming streets and the view of the Mediterranean create a romantic, timeless backdrop. The town’s bright, sunlit alleys and historic walls provided plenty of opportunities for lively, colorful shots. As one reviewer pointed out, “We loved the way the narrow streets and seaside views combined for perfect photos.”

In St. Paul de Vence, you can expect medieval charm with panoramic views. The winding alleys, art galleries, and stone buildings offer a more rustic, artistic vibe, ideal for creative shots and capturing the essence of Provençal beauty. Many travelers appreciate that the guide helped them find the quietest spots for photos, away from the crowds.

Nice, with its bustling promenade and scenic vistas, offers a more energetic urban feel. The iconic views from the Promenade des Anglais or the vibrant Old Town streets make for dynamic backgrounds. Several reviews highlight that the guide’s tips on timing and angles helped maximize the photogenic potential of these lively spots.

What Makes the Photos Special?

The main draw here is the professional guidance. Your photographer isn’t just snapping photos—they’re coaching you on how to pose, where to stand, and how to make the most of natural light. This means you won’t just get “nice” photos—you’ll get images that feel natural and flattering.

We particularly appreciated that the guide discussed fun facts about each city and shared local recommendations. So, while you’re waiting for the perfect shot, you’re also gaining interesting insights into the places you’re visiting. This adds a layer of depth beyond just photography.

What’s Included and What’s Not

For $293, your package includes a private photo tour led by a professional photographer, guidance on best photo spots, posing tips, and city fun facts. You’ll receive 10 edited photos and 15 raw files, with the option to print larger images for an extra fee.

However, transportation to the meeting point isn’t included, so plan accordingly. Meals and other expenses are on your tab, so this is more about capturing memories than a full tour of the city.
