Idyllic boat ride. - Leo was a fantastic host, we enjoyed his humour and knowledge of the Nice locations. Swimming off the boat was an idyllic experience, goggles were included by the hosts.

Just book it and go! - Fantastic time! Each stop was just enough time to see the sights. I traveled solo and had no issue vibing with the group and tour guide. Weather was sunny and warm which was a huge plus.

Beautiful Views and Fun Ride - Beautiful views of the Riviera with a great guide (Antoine). My husband and I really enjoyed the stop in Villefranche-sur-Mer where we were able to get a drink and bite to eat. Highly recommend this boat tour when visiting Nice!

Fun out on the Water! - This was a truly fun experience! Leo was hilarious, providing great music all afternoon as he drove our boat from A to B, as well as his accompanying singing and cheeky sense of humour! The caves were underwhelming, we are from New Zealand so used to 'real caves', ie. Big ones! But didn't matter as every other part of the afternoon delivered. The fast boat ride sections were exhilarating, the touring the coastline homes of the famous was fascinating, the stopoff to explore Villefranche lovely, but my favourite was the swim opportunity! Just be aware that you may have to wait for your boat to show up if taking a later in the day trip, but no problem if your time is flexible. Highly recommend this trip and group if you are in Nice wondering what to do!

Must do in Nice - The speed boat ride was exciting, as well as the view of the French Reviera from the ocean is special, don't miss this. Though it's called Mala caves there's hardly any cave there.

Bachelor Party - As we’re UK based, I wanted to take my brother away on his stag do for the weekend. In the Friday night, we went up to the Monte Carlo Casino, the boat trip was booked for the Saturday. One of my biggest worries was making sure that the whole thing went smoothly. I booked the boat trip a few months in advance. The communication with the boat tour company was amazing. They kept me in the loop, let me know what to wxpect and were very responsive to any questions I had. Payment was easily done through the Viator app and they made me feel safe in the knowing that we knew where to go, when and how the activity would go. Our boat driver Leonard was very knowledgable of the local area, giving us some great information about the celebrity mansions on the cliffs, and he kept us all happy and we had a good laugh along the way. For those who get sea sick, Leonard made it clear for us to indicate if we needed him to slow down or take it easy over the choppy bits. Very tentative throughout. If I ever find myself in Nice again, I would definitely consider booking again. A wonderful boat trip that made some real life memories for the groom to be. Thank you for a great day out!

Great tour, but… - We were paired with a bachelorette party. There were 8 of them and only 4 seats left on the boat. I think they should have been by themselves, because it truly took away from my experience. Not to mention the captain catered mostly to their needs- which again, is fine, but it should have been just them if that is the case. The views were spectacular, and incredibly breathtaking.
