Tour Guide

Overview

A guided tour by a screenwriter, a historical researcher and an emerging filmmaker who participates every year in the Cannes Film Festival. I have great knowledge of the film and TV industry which is rapidly changing. Cannes is a feast for the senses. From a sleepy fishing village to a world-renowned vacation spot full of stars and wannabees. How did this happen? Come listen to all the juicy gossip from the film festival, who did what and who missed out. What did the man in the iron mask and Napoleon end up doing in Cannes? Where are the best restaurants? What are these tasty delights in the markets? Cannes, beautiful and timeless as ever with long beaches as far as the eye can see. Cruise ship passenger? My pleasure to meet you at the cruise ship terminal as you get off your tender boat. Intimate small groups with no audio guiding system. The starting time is listed at 10:30am however if your cruise ship arrives later I can tailor the tour to fit your arrival time.

Sarit is a creative writer novelist, who was very informative about the Cannes film festival and the history of Cannes. She had interesting personal stories and answered all her questions. It was a very lovely tour. Highly recommend she also has driving and bus tours available.

Thank you Sarit!

Sarit is an excellent guide - being a screenwriter herself she was able to give more nuanced history and events around Cannes film festival. She also knows her history and has a great culinary taste!

Sarit was amazing!! She gave us a personalized tour of the area and insider tips about places to visit. She provided help before the tour to make sure we were comfortable and prepared. She gave such an informative tour but still kept it fun and full of history for our group. You will not regret this tour.
