What people are saying about Cannes

Highly recommended to take the ferry to the island. The kids loved it! The island itself is easily accessible. Fort is still a nice walk uphill. We quickly looked for a pebble beach. Water shoes are highly recommended.

Prompt service when exchanging digital tickets for paper ones. Got in an earlier boat as we were there early. Comfortable seats, short crossing.

Roman was really helpful and knowledgeable. We can definitely recommend the trip. You can see a lot just in one day.

Being in Cannes is wonderful and getting to know the surroundings is sensational.

Quiet island to rest from the hustle and bustle of the city.
