We loved the boat tour! We explored Nice and the surrounding areas of the French Riviera. The views were breathtaking and we stopped to swim and snorkel in the sea which was refreshing. Our guide Leo was very fun and knowledgeable and gave a us a great experience! The boat was very fast so hold on to your hat

Boat ride to the caves where you had about 30 mins to enjoy the sea and swim then back on board and just coasted the shoreline, stopped to be given a few bits of information or notable buildings pointed out. Easy way to spend a couple of hours

Swimming by the mala cave and cruising through the French Riviera. We had an amazing time and met such nice people. It was a great day and our boat guide was very knowledgeable of the area but also knew how to have fun.
