    I'm on a Royal Caribbean cruise and will be in Cannes on Tuesday. I want to go to Nice, Monte Carlo, Monaco etc but don't want to take the tourist bus that Royal Caribbean is suggesting. Is it possible to hire a taxi for the day? Can I use the same taxi all day or do I have to change in every city? Would it be expensive to hire a taxi for the entire day?

    I'm sure you could arrange with a taxi driver to stay with you all day. North of 300euros for the day would be my GUESS (written large to emphasise).
    How's your french, can you explain to him what you want?

    Might want to look at a limo service for the day instead of a taxi.

    Enjoy your visit

    I just Googled quickly "limo service Cannes".

    For 7 hours in an E Class Merc limo on Tuesday, max 140km travel, pick up at a Cannes Hotel cost was 378euros.

    The same in an S class was 578euro
