This hour-long boat trip is a great way to get an overview of Nice and its neighboring town, Villefranche-Sur-Mer, from the water. The boat is the perfect size for a fairly small group, and it never feels crowded or uncomfortable. The information is given in both English and French; interesting historical facts along with current pop cultural info.

It was a beautiful trip on all aspects except for the beginning. The captain refused to sail because we weren’t 15 passenger and we were only 12 as they said. Although after counting the passengers myself, we were 14. The thing is, I precooked my trip so I expected everything to go smooth. But I can say nothing negative about the rest of the trip, it was a beautiful view and a beautiful trip.

I wish we had more time in Eze, especially since we got back to Nice 30 mins early. Each stop was too brief. I thought I would have time to get food but didn't. The perfume tour could be cut out in favor of more time in Eze, especially on a Sunday when there were no workers to demo.
