This was the highlight of our trip to Nice. George was fantastic—a warm host, very knowledgeable of the area and its history. The boat was comfortable and the trip smooth. George tailored the trip to what we wanted to do and we enjoyed a lovely swim and then an equally lovely rose wine. Perfect!

The boat trip was wonderful! We all had fun and managed to know a little bit more of the French Riviera. George was extremely nice with all of us and explained in details about the region. We want to come back and to it again!

Great Private Tour with Local Guide

Kara_K, Oct 2025

If you are looking for an exclusive, small boat experience, I highly recommend this trip. Our guide and captain George was a wealth of information and made our trip memorable. We saw breathtaking views of the major local sites - Nice, Villefranche, Cap de Ferrat - from the water. Swimming is available in unique locations when conditions are right. Snacks and wine were a nice touch. Pickup and drop off were a breeze in the harbor area, a short walk from the promenade. Communication was also easy to understand and timely. A highlight of our time in Nice!

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you very much for your appreciation. I am happy you had a great time and hope to see you next time, whether by boat or by car.

Relaxing and Informative

Colleen_W, Jun 2025

We had a great time in the sea with our host and Captain George. He was so accommodating and pleasant to us and gave us great historical and current event information about Nice, Monaco and the region. We enjoyed a delightful local Rose and snacks while relaxing at a quiet spot on the Sea and conversing with George. We hope to come back to this area and will definitely seek our Geo ge for another tour

Response from Host, Jun 2025

thank you very much for your kind words and looking forward to seeing you again!

Could not recommend this tour more!

Aislinn_C, Aug 2024

I couldn’t recommend a tour with George more. We had such a relaxing evening on the water. George was extremely well informed about the history of the area and was so welcoming and friendly towards our family. He was very accommodating - we stopped in two beautiful spots to swim and George found some interesting sea creatures to show us, even a sea urchin! Not to mention the delicious local rosé he shared with us. We will definitely be joining George for a second tour if we are in Nice again!!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you so much for your words, and I am happy you enjoyed the tour. It is with much pleasure to see you again on board! See you next time!

Beautiful evening with our adult children in the water

Diane_S, Jun 2024

George was a lovely host and made our evening special. Very knowledgeable about the local history, very courteous to our needs and really appreciated the well rounded tour by car and boat. Plus Mother Nature cooperated and gave us a beautiful sunset right on cue from the water. Highly recommend.

Amazing Sunset Cruise

Janice_C, Sep 2023

We enjoyed the experience! Our guide was phenomenal. He was very personable, courteous and went out of his way to make the experience enjoyable. The boat was small, and the motor was loud. Other than that it was awesome! The sunset was amazing, with he stars in was a memorable time!
