Constantin was amazing- start to finish. His boat is impeccably clean and he was prepared with water and Rose for the trip. We loved seeing the sites from the water and swimming/snorkeling in such a beautiful private area. We highly recommend this experience-one of the highlights of our Cote d Azur vacation.

Lovely boat ride to Monaco with Constantin and a perfect swimming spot! The boat was comfortable, timely and easy to locate. Rose and cold waters completed the experience.

Constantin was great. Once I boarded, I knew I was in good and safe care. He was very intentive and professional. The boat ride was absolutely beautiful and Constantin directed my attention to several points of interest.

Constantin was a delight....

Ricardo_Z, Sept 2025

Constantin was a delight. Very much enjoyed our afternoon with him. We traveled from Nice to Monaco and back with a stopover for swimming at a local attraction. Prior to our trip, He promptly responded to all inquiries.

Great boat tour

Would Highly Recommend if Seeking a Tour for Families

Christopher_P, Sept 2025

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.

The best excursion-definitely book!

The tour is fantastic, Constantin is not only a great driver but also excellent company and a joy to be around. He made the entire trip worth while, we highly recommend

Beautiful Day in Nice and Monaco

Your Best Day in Nice

Elizabeth_K, Jun 2025

We had an amazing day on the sea with Constantin. The boat was comfortable and clean, and Constantin was a fantastic host and captain. He is willing to tailor the tour to anything you want to do, and he offers great suggestions and also found the secret spots for swimming and snorkeling. This was our best day of vacation for sure. We highly recommend!

Quick boat day

Absolutely book with...

elizabeth_e, Jun 2025

Absolutely book with Constantin! He was so kind and had so much information about what we saw! The wine was such a fun addition and we got to snorkel and see fish in the bluest water! It was the highlight of our trip!

Greg_B, Jun 2025

Constantin is amazing! My wife and I had a great time cruising the coast and stopping to swim. Highly recommend for a relaxing private experience.

Perfect day on the water!

margaret_m, May 2025

Great communication and Constantine was flexible with what we wanted to see and experience! Great conversation and beautiful day…just perfect! Thanks for the wine, the conversation and the sights!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a real pleasure spending the day with you both. I’m so glad you enjoyed the sights, the wine, and the conversation. Wishing you all the love and happiness in your new life together—congratulations again on your wedding! Warm regards, Constantin

Terrible experience. ...

Baiju_S, Apr 2025

Terrible experience. Booked the tour. Credit card was immediately charged. Arrived at the meeting point at the right place, right date and right time. No tour operator in sight. They no-showed. Called Viator customer service which was very unhelpful. They blamed the problem on a “computer glitch” in their system. This was supposed to be the highlight of our vacation and we went to great effort to arrange our schedule. Ruined our entire evening plans. Very disappointing!! Think three times before making a booking.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

I’m really sorry to hear about your experience. I want to clarify that I never received your booking due to a technical issue on Viator’s end. It was just as frustrating for me, and I completely understand how this impacted your plans. I’m glad Viator refunded you, but I truly wish I’d had the chance to give you the experience you were expecting. If you’re ever back in the area, I’d love to make it up to you. Best regards, Constantin Popa

Great Cote D'Azur Boat Experience with amazing swimming spots

Bjondi_D, Aug 2024

We had a great time and a great conversation with the captain (Constantin). It was very easy to meet at the dock to start the boat tour, and Constantin asked us if there were any specific locations we wanted to see. We told him we were more interested in swimming in great spots than sightseeing, and he took us to a great spot where the water was spectacular. We ended up wanting to swim there more than a few spots that the tour was supposed to go to, so we had wine and swam for longer and skipped parts of the tour. Constantin made sure to personalize the experience to what we wanted, and we had a great time!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you so much for the great feedback! I’m really glad you enjoyed the swimming spot and that I could tailor the tour to what you wanted. It was a pleasure having you on board, and I hope to see you again for another fun adventure!

A wonderful day on a private boat tour on the sea of the French Riviera

Cindy_J, Aug 2024

Constantin was great! He had water, rose wine, cheese, bread and salami when we stopped to snorkel and swim at Villa Franche sur mer. The water was clear and a wonderful temperature. The sea in the French Riviera does not have a tropical reef. So don't expect to see Nemo. Constantin was knowledgeable about the different areas along the coast. I wish we stopped, walked on land and explored some sites. It still was a wonderful day for the last day in Nice France!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the snacks and swimming. I’m sorry I didn’t know you wanted to explore on land—I would have happily stopped if I’d known. I’m glad you still had a great day, and I hope you enjoyed your time in Nice!

Best boat ride in all of Nice!

Abby_S, Aug 2024

We had the absolute best day with Constantin! The tour of the coastline was fantastic & then he took us to snorkel in a cove nearby which was amazing. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for the wonderful review! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you again!

Amazing Views of Nice

Haley_W, Aug 2024

This was our favorite activity we did in Nice. The guide is amazing stopping when we wanted pictures or to swim, and provided great wine. If you want a relaxing boat day in Nice this is an excellent option.
