Incredible tour of the Cote D’Azure!
What a lovely surprise, and one my husband couldn’t stop talking about.
We were visiting Monte Carlo during the F1 race and wanted to get away from the crowded streets.
This excursion was well worth the trip.
Nikolas knew all the historical details about the area, we saw so many breathtaking spots, and the lunch and swim were the perfect cap to the day.
I would do the longer trip next time.
We’ll be back!

A very fun and personal way to experience the area!
By the time I booked this tour I had booked quite a few other tours for our two weeks in Europe, so to be honest I didn't pay quite as much attention to the details. When we arrived I was a little surprised about the size and layout of the boat but that's on me for not paying more attention when I booked. What you see in the pictures is what you get. You get onto this boat when you are in a harbor full of yachts so we weren't exactly sure what to expect and a little underwhelmed by the boat itself. That being said, we ended up loving the tour and I'm quite sure everyone else on our boat did as well!! Our tour guide was great. He had so many fun stories and interesting facts and it gave us such a beautiful view of the coastline. The water was cold so my husband was the only one who hopped in but they had snorkel's and noodles to use if you were in the water. We did this on our first night in Nice and it was a great way to get our bearings and appreciate the beauty of the area. When we stopped and took a break the guide had homemade focaccia and wine and everyone got to move around, take pictures and soak it all in. It felt very personal and was a very fun experience the area.

Quality, Informative Small Group Tour with Excellent Guide
Moman was a wonderful, knowledgeable guide who went above and beyond to give a group of 5 people a memorable afternoon. He picked us up right on time at our hotels, and then gave us a running history and information about everything we saw as we made our way to Monaco, stopping at the charming medieval village of Eze along the way. He knew a concierge at the exclusive hotel located on the castle mount, and got us special access to walk through their private gardens. Unfortunately we ran into a thunderstorm while in Eze, with lots of rain, so didn't make it to the top of the fortress for the view. We still visited all of the sites listed for this trip, including an historical perfumery where we got quite an education. And then the highlight of the trip was Monaco, the palace grounds, walking through the gardens, seeing the set up for 2026 Formual One Grand Prix, drove the track, saw a couple of the race cars being prepped for the weekend race, and got to see the Monte Carlo Casino where the people watching was amazing.
Moman knew the ins and outs of the complicated roadways, just where to park, and then brought us all back to Nice safely. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a better understanding of the area, its history and culture. You won't be disappointed.

Fun Boat Ride to see Mala Caves and Villefranche
It was a lot of fun to ride the boat especially when it was moving fast! I liked the vantage point of seeing the coast and stunning homes from the sea. I also liked the opportunity to spend some time in the water near the Mala caves and appreciated being offered a noodle to stay afloat. Villefranche was an attractive city to spend a bit of time exploring. Our boat operator was very friendly.

Amazing Day on the Sea
Book this experience! 10 out of 10…George was very knowledgeable and we had the best time learning about the region. The sea was a little rougher than we expected and George did an excellent job navigating so that we barely noticed. He had wine and snacks for us and we snorkeled in beautiful aquamarine water. This experience was our favorite part of our visit to Nice!

Great Tour to Explore So Much!
Parfait brought us on a very robust tour along the French Riviera. I really appreciated the early morning pickup in an air conditioned van, with good tips in each village/town we stopped in and great photo ops places. Would highly recommend taking this the first day you’re here to get a good layout of the land. Merci Beaucoup!

Fantastic Ferry from Nice to Monaco
Fun trip on the water between Nice and Monaco (45min to Monaco, 60min return). The Charlotte was a very nice ship. Crew were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The return trip included a closer ride along the coast with lots of interesting commentary of the area. Note: Ferry docks at Port de Fontvieille (not Port Hercule). Bus stop at Fontvieille can quickly take you anywhere in Monaco. Recommend the Ship & Castle English pub at the end of the day. You can enjoy a beverage near the water and will see the Charlotte return to port.

Outstanding Day Trip Along the French Riviera!
This was easily one of the highlights of our trip to the South of France. The tour was exceptionally well organized, and the itinerary offered the perfect mix of coastal beauty, history, culture, and free time to explore.
Our guide, Milena, was absolutely fantastic. She was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and passionate about the region. Throughout the day, she shared fascinating stories and local insights that brought each destination to life. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable.
Cannes was beautiful, with its famous promenade and glamorous atmosphere. Antibes was charming and full of character, with stunning views of the Mediterranean and a lovely old town to wander through. St. Paul de Vence was simply magical, like stepping into a postcard, with its cobblestone streets, art galleries, and breathtaking scenery.
The small-group format made the experience feel personal and relaxed, and transportation was comfortable throughout the day. Milena ensured everyone felt welcome and had a great experience from start to finish.
If you’re staying in Nice and want to experience some of the most beautiful destinations on the French Riviera in a single day, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Milena, for creating such a memorable experience!

The tour was very easy to...
The tour was very easy to book online, and provided alot of information on what to expect. Once we boarded, we were greeted by the crew members who were very friendly. Seeing Nice from the ocean was so pretty! I highly recommend this one hour tour on your next visit to Nice.

Amazing experience – highly recommend!
The tour was absolutely amazing and honestly one of the highlights of our trip. Our host, Cecilia, was so kind and lovely to talk to, which made the whole experience even better.
We went as a couple, and the setup was great — there were about four electric Fiat 500 cars for guests (around six people total), and the host leads the way in their own car. It felt really personal and well-organised.
The views along the French Riviera were stunning, and we got so lucky with the weather in spring 2026 — it made the whole drive even more special. It’s definitely worth the money and something I’d 100% recommend to anyone visiting.
The only small thing I’d mention is that it would be helpful if there was a quick explanation at the start on how to use the walkie-talkies, just in case you need to stop or communicate during the tour. We may have missed this as we joined slightly late, though.
Overall, such a fun and unique experience — don’t hesitate to book!

Great experience, we...
Great experience, we would highly recommend! Paul was an amazing guide that provided us with interesting facts and recommendations on things to do in the area, as well as kept the us entertained with great musics and humor. Don’t hesitate in booking this excursion, we loved it! Swimming in the Mediterranean was a highlight of time we spent in Nice.

Would Highly Recommend if Seeking a Tour for Families
Constantin was a communicative and accommodating guide. When searching for a boat tour of the French Riviera, we found it difficult to find one that could host a young child. We sailed with a three-year old, and Constantin helped make the experience one our child could enjoy while giving a memorable tour of the coast. Constantin was able to adjust our intended plans based on the sea state (and tolerance of our toddler) and still make it an employable experience for all.

Nice is the perfect home base for exploring the glamorous Côte d'Azur. But you don’t need to own a million-dollar yacht to enjoy this world-famous stretch of the Mediterranean. Cruises from Nice cover the entire French Riviera stretching from Saint Tropez to Menton. Whether you charter your boat—captain included—or board a ferry, you’ll stop at scenic ports such as Villefranche-sur-Mer, Cannes, and Monte Carlo. Don’t forget your swimsuit if you plan on snorkeling and your camera if you opt for a sunset sailing. Most Nice cruises range from 2–8 hours.
