Nate made the tour fun! He was very kind, knowledgeable and accommodating for our family with noodles, floats for our dip in the sea! Best part of our trip!
So much fun! Beautiful fast paced boat ride on the Mediterranean Sea with breathtaking views! We stopped near some rock formations to swim and snorkel in the gorgeous clear waters! Then another short stop in Monaco to explore. The guide was informative and communicative! Our particular boat did have straddle type seats which were somewhat uncomfortable and a little difficult to get on and off of. Another boat in our tour group had standard seats, so they are available just not for us unfortunately! Other than that I totally recommend!
Excellent tour. The boat was fast and the tour guide awesome. Best views of the French Rivera, and the swimming was perfect.
First off their team did a horrible job of providing directions to the port. They should have stated that we go to the cable car and that will take us down to the port rather than the opposite. Second they had us walk 45 min up a hill. Over 100 people doing this tour and no one was expecting that, especially the elderly. The entire experience was bad. They stopped at the hot springs for only 20min
Our guide Nathan was great! Friendly, energetic and fun. I really enjoyed the tour, wonderful experience!
Free nice trip with a combination of relaxation, action and pleasure. We got the bath in the cave, which was nice, but also got a little guided tour with a stop in a small village where we could enjoy some peace and quiet.
Enjoyable time out on the water with a great guide (Nathan). Mala cave was a bit underwhelming so don’t expect much here as it was a brief stop. The snorkeling was nice to be able to get in the water and cool off, but not much to see in terms of fish or anything interesting in the water. Would have liked more time in the water to relax and hang out, but we had to get back on the boat after about 20-30 minutes. The guide had floats and snorkel gear which was appreciated. Villefranche was cute a charming little stop to get some gelato and walk around for a bit. All in all we had a nice time (family of 4 with two teenage girls 16 and 18). Music was very good and guide’s personality and helpfulness were great!
Our guide Nathan was the best!! Drove the boat great and even better music!! Very enthusiastic and lots of good tips!! It’s was a fabulous tour.
Guide Nathan is amazing! Knowledge and fun! Awesome playlist! No need to bring a towel! The summer heat and the wind from the speedboat will dry you so fast! We did get to visit a little shore town for 30 minutes. Just enough time for Gelato. Speedboat has cubby underneath your seat to keep your belongings fro flying away !
This was a great tour! Nathan was a fun and informative guide. The swimming off the side of the boat was my favorite part. It made for a great way to start our last day in Nice.
