A Top Level Tour of the French Riviera!
This was an excellent tour that fit in an amazing amount of sites over 10 hours with the main highlights included. Enough to give you a feel for each location and to decide if you would like to return for a more extensive experience. We split our time between the US and France and found this trip to be well organized and we loved having Francis as our tour guide. As a French native who speaks fluent English, he was very informative on the history and answered all of our questions. We are always happy with our Viator tours but this was truly one of the top ones because of the itinerary combined with Francis as our guide

Do not skip!
This was a last minute addition to my few days in Nice and I am so glad I was able to book it. The staff were fantastic and the process was enjoyable and very interesting. Nothing like leaving France with your own custom fragrance! I was out numbered 2-1 by men, so this is not a gender specific experience! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Exciting and Fun !’
Best experience in Nice France! Don’t miss this one! Antonio was extremely effective in showing the best of Nice. He provided valuable information and spectacular viewing of the surrounding city in the Mediterranean.
It would be a shame to miss a day like this.

My first trip to the French Riviera!!
Arrived at the port in Nice on this beautiful morning. After our safety presentation we took off for 3 wonderful hours with our guide, Nathan. We followed the beautiful shore and Nate pointed out several spots including Bono’s, Elton John and Sean Connery’s homes. Swimming was most refreshing with the clearest blue water. We then proceeded to our next stop for 45 minutes free time in the beautiful town of Villefranche sur mer. We boated back to the marina after my favorite tour thus far on our 2 1/2 week trip. Great playlist Nathan!!

Beautiful Boat Trip along the Coast
We absolutely loved our boat trip around Nice. It was such a lovely experience and a wonderful way to see the beautiful coastline from the water. The views were stunning, and being out on the Mediterranean made it feel really special. Everything was well organised, and the trip was both relaxing and enjoyable. It was definitely one of the highlights of our stay in Nice and something we would highly recommend. We really enjoyed every minute and would definitely do it again. A beautiful experience and a lovely memory from our trip to Nice.

We spent such an incredible morning with Antoine cruising around the coast from Nice to Eze. The music was fun, and Antoine brought great vibes and humor as he shared facts along the way. The swim + snorkel to the Mala Caves was PERFECT! Definitely recommend doing it in the morning bc the heat can be intense at peak hours. No better way to spend our morning!

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.

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!

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!!

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.
