What people are saying about French Riviera

Fantastic trip with the speedboat! Much cooler than with a normal boat. This is also better for people who quickly get seasick, the boat sails much faster than a normal boat, so you feel the waves less. Sometimes the speedboat also stays in place for a while or less this speed, then you will of course feel the waves. We have seen very nice beaches, rocks and snorkelling spots! We also stopped twice to snorkel and it was nice to see the many small fish swimming in groups. Now if you've ever snorkeled in Egypt, for example, this won't mean anything, but it's still beautiful and fun to do! Definitely recommended for everyone, best not too small children for this activity. What to bring Snorkeling goggles and SUNSCREEN CREAM, we had forgotten those and we are both a lobster after this great trip unfortunately… Have fun!!!

Great value for the price! Our group was so fun. Only thing I was was that there was fresh water or a snack that came with it as the sun and swimming is tiring. Other than that the staff was incrediebly kind and patient. Would recommend to all!! Thanks Team!

An excellent moment with a top guide who made us discover Nice, Villefranche sur Mer, Monaco with our hair in the wind. We were all delighted including the girls (13 years old) and our son (soon to be 7 years old). See you next year

Tickets € 30 each for Marineland which is a beautiful aquarium where the shows are done very well. The park is well served with toilet and refreshment points and very convenient from the motorway exit. Ample parking € 9 all day.

Good organization of the right spaces to be able to be in company on a boat. Stop for a wonderful swim with a snack at the end of the stop. To redo. Thank you
