Mala caves are amazing, wish we could have spent more time at the caves rather than the village. Guide was great, explained the history and places of interest.

This was a great 3 hours. We snorkeled for half hour in beautiful waters by a cave, visited Villefranche-sur-Mer, and we went sightseeing. Beautiful views. Our guide Jimmy was very nice and funny.

If you like activities on your holiday I recommend this boat excursion. A fun 25 minute boat ride to the Mala Cave on a speed boat, snorkeled in the sea, and a little history lesson on the way back. We stopped in Ville de Franche on the way back, a beautiful quaint town. Jean Baptiste was funny and made it interesting. Well worth 3 hours of your day!

If you’re coming to Nice, this is THE tour to take. We were only in town for a few days, and I couldn’t imagine a better way to spend an afternoon. JB (and his brother) were incredible hosts- warm, fun, and full of all the local knowledge (also doesn’t hurt that they’re so handsome). We got to see all the best spots, and JB took amazing photos of me and my friends swimming that I will cherish forever. My only regret is not buying them a drink afterward to say thank you!
