What are people saying about Nice

Sara_A, Jul 2026

A city escape

A lovely chance to escape the heat of the city and see the cote d'azur from a different view point. The boat is very well maintained and has a bar/toilets. The commentary is informative and warm in French/English. Indoor and outdoor seating available on the boat.

The Best of the French Riviera Small group Guided Tour from Nice

Dorothy_K, Jun 2026

Bring the French Riviera to Life!

Stephane is BRILLIANT. Funny, attentive, determined, punctual, humorous, and able to pivot on a dime - he brings the entire French Riviera to life! From detailed historical perspectives to beautiful views, to fun restaurant and cafe recommendations, the entire day feels as if you are a VIP. His knowledge, his patience with all ages, the comfortable van - the entire day felt so special. Pick up was easy, and then you are off on the adventure. Antibes was a delight, Cannes a fantasy brought to life, Monaco wonderfully detailed - and the family favorite - St. Paul de V - we never would have even seen but for Stephane. What makes it fun and surprising is that each individual gets something out of this - he engages with each traveler, shares stories and tips, and meets you where you ARE, truly TAILORING the tour to questions and interests, encouraging guests to engage and participate, not just ride. In a small group, we had several continents represented in our group, and Stephane made each feel special. As someone who genuinely likes tours to illuminate an area, this truly exceeded expectations. Would book it again in a second. Thank you Stephane for a truly memorable day we'll never forget.

Wonderful chill boat ride

My husband and I had a work deed up experience on Nicola’s boat tour around Nice. The boat was sparkling clean, the food was just right, and Nicola was so pleasant - shared highlights from about homes and the area but also respected our relaxing time. Oh, and nice chill music that we enjoyed! Highly recommend!

Sunset Bliss: Boat Excursion with Aperitif on French Riviera

Carrington_A, Jun 2026

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.

Molinard Classic Perfume Workshop in Nice

Norman_F, Jun 2026

Something the whole family would enjoy

Booked this for the wife as a last day activity before our flight out and I think I enjoyed it as much as she did. Having visited Grasse and a perfume factory, the appreciation for how perfume is made was already there. But to put what we learned there into practice, if even on a small scale, was really neat. The professionals knowledge and guidance in creating our own scent was astonishing. Really well done.

Ferry from Nice to Monaco

michael_s, Jun 2026

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.

Nice City Segway Sightseeing Tour

Heather_M, May 2026

Great way to explore the city

Eleanor was our guide and she did a fantastic job! We were taught how to safely ride the Segway and she led our group around the streets of Nice. We saw some great spots, took some great photos, and returned to further explore the area later in the day on foot. I had never been on a Segway before, but was able to feel comfortable to successfully navigate the neighborhood.
