Fantastic boat tour! - 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!

Great trip to see the coast and swim! - Paul was great! Friendly and informative, we were entertained and felt safe the whole time! We had plenty of time to swim and enjoy the warm water. On the ride back to Nice, there were several short stops to point out landmarks or points of interest. We have so many amazing photographs! Highly recommend!

AWESOME, just wish we actually swam in Mala Cave - Had a lot of fun! Leo was awesome! I wish we had more than 30 minutes to swim, and I wish we swam in the Mala Cave like advertised, but our boat voted to swim in the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer. Despite this disappointment, the boat tour was a highlight of our trip and we'd recommend it to anyone!

Scenic Boat Trip - 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
