    I booked this tour weeks ahead of our trip and didn’t remember the details when it came to the date. Seeing the boat in person I was a bit disappointed. That being said, it was a great tour. The guide was informative and we all had a head time. We were able to swim in the water and have time in a a Villefranche. Very basic as far as amenities, but still pleasantly happy in the end. Things to note; no bathroom on board, bring your own towel and water. Can get chilly without wind.

  • Best use of your time in Nice.

    Awesome tour, swim in the Mediterranean and then a village visit. Highly recommend taking this tour especially if you get JB (Jean Baptist) as an entertaining and attentive guide.
