The Booking and Planning Process
Booking is straightforward—most travelers plan about two weeks in advance, and the activity costs $295.90 for up to 8 people. This fee covers a one-hour session with a professional photographer, who will craft a personalized route around Cannes based on your preferences. This flexibility means you can focus on iconic spots like La Croisette, the Old Town (Le Suquet), or any other location you wish to include.
The booking includes access to an online gallery, where all your images will be uploaded within five working days. Digital download options make it easy to share or print your favorite shots later. If weather conditions are unfavorable, the tour can be rescheduled or canceled for a full refund, which adds some peace of mind.
What’s Included and What’s Not
Included in your fee are the photos, the custom route, and access to the digital images. The photographer, who is local to Cannes or nearby, will focus on capturing your best angles and candid moments, making the most of the city’s picturesque settings. However, food and drinks are not included, nor are any travel costs outside of the meeting point, so plan accordingly if you wish to include meals or explore further.
