Great way to visit Monaco in a day
This is a great way to visit Monaco in a day. Ferry is operated by the same crew and boat for the Mediterranean sight seeing tour. The crew is courteous with top notch service and makes the trip fun, providing sight seeing commentary on the cruise to Monaco and back.
I'd do this as a day trip only. Once in Monaco, you are self-guided, with about 6 1/2 hours (1015-1645) to visit Monaco.
The return trip departs a little after the table games open up at Monte Carlo. Best to take the train or stay in Monaco if you're looking to gamble a longer time.
Otherwise outstanding for seeing the sights.

French Riviera in a Day
A great way to see all the highlights of the French Riviera in one day. While it would be nice to have more time in each location, it is not possible due to the distance. Another plus - the convienence of hotel pick up and drop off and not having to research train schedules. We enjoyed our day and our guide.

Easy low commitment enjoyable coastal cruise.
Very relaxing low commitment sailing cruise from port of Nice to Villefranche sur Mer then back to Nice. Some great narration in English and French. Snack and drinks available for purchase on board. You are docked in the Villefranche sur Mer Bay for a good 20 minutes. It is very picturesque with lots of beautiful homes and shoreline. Always nice to see a coastal city from the water. Also learned a little bit about the area in terms of history and biodiversity. Could have done with not knowing so much about who lived in which home (all celebrities and royalty) but I know some people like that. I liked learning more about the history and biodiversity as well as architecture of the region. However overall very enjoyable and was still able to take a half day trip to another town in the afternoon after my 11am tour.

Amazing Sunset Cruise
It was an excellent trip! Our captain Nathan was professional and fun!! We learned some interesting things about the area, and seeing part of the French Riviera from the water was wonderful. Being on a “small” boat with only 12 total people was a blast! Swimming in the Mediterranean and drinking wine and having fresh focaccia bread while floating in the water was spectacular. Seeing the sunset from the water was incredibly beautiful!! This trip was definitely one of the highlights from our trip. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience
We had never snorkelled before, and I am not the sportiest person, so I was a little nervous. However, the staff gave a proper briefing in several languages. The equipment was in good condition. Everything went swimmingly! The boat ride was about 20 minutes each way, with over an hour in the water. It was incredible! The colour and warmth of the water; beautiful, plentiful and colourful fishes! A very beautiful setting in Villefranche’s bay. Just absolute wow! It left us wanting to go snorkelling again for sure!

Highly recommend! Great way to experience the French Rivera!
The scenery was incredible. Nathan was a great guide. Very helpful and had lots of fun and interesting facts about the area. He played good music and was upbeat and fun. The stop to swim was perfect with very clear warm water and the fishing village was such a fun place to explore.

Must do excursion while in Nice
This was such a highlight of our trip to Nice. It allowed us to see streets and area that we would never have wondered to on the rental ebikes. Julie was an amazing guide, informative, practiced safety driving for the group and so accommodating with offering to take pictures of us. The 4 hour tour was just the perfect amount of time before you need a break from driving. Even though we were already at villefranch beach and cap ferrat for lunch via uber, driving through the town offered a different perspective and just so much co fun.

Nice to Mala Caves and Villefranche Boat Ride and Swimming
Excellent fast rib boat ride which mixes exhilarating fun of high-speed with slower sections to take in the sights. Nathan is a great personality, gives lots of facts around the various sights and answers questions. He speaks good English for english/American visitors too.
Beautiful trip to Mala caves and then eventually on to Villefranche Bay for swimming/ snorkeling.
This was 2nd time we've done this trip in 3 years. It's that good in terms of pricing, how well organised it is and just enjoyment factor.
Top marks, again.

My friends and I had an incredible experience with Nicola! Everything was perfect including the local information about surrounding villas, swimming opportunities (with towels and floats provided), cold drinks and the wonderful spread he prepared for lunch. Could not recommend this experience enough!

Amazing!!
This was a fantastic tour that began with a Segway how to lesson and moved on to a very fun and thorough tour of the promenade des Anglais and the old town and Statue of the Sun/Place Massena back to the starting point just off of the beach. We learned some history and fun facts, had so much fun riding the segways around and about and got very comfortable on them about midway through which really enabled us to get so much done. Nicolas was an amazing teacher and guide and we had a fabulous time. HIGHLY recommend!!

the workshop was very easy to follow. mostly independent in picking your own scents but the employees were fantastic at helping pair the perfect scent combinations. They tell you exactly how much of each to place in it when you're putting together your final scent. I love how you're able to create something that's appeals to your individual, and seeing it all come together is very unique. I am very happy with the experience.

Taste of Nice Tour
Our tour guide Allie was not only knowledgeable about the local cuisine and the cuisine’s history she was also friendly to us and the merchants we visited or traveled past. We truly enjoyed meeting the other people on this tour. We started the tour as strangers and left as friends.
