Review of Cannes’ 3-hour catamaran cruise, with swimming, snorkeling, paddleboards, snacks, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“The tickets got us on the ferry to meet up with the catamaran. Great size boat for the number of people. I never felt crowded or that we didn't have enough space, which has been a problem on other catamaran tours we've taken before (different tour groups).”

Review of Nice’s half-day tour to Saint Paul de Vence and Saint Jeannet, with a family winery, Provençal wine tasting, views, and practical tips.

“This tour was FANTASTIC. Francesca was a great guide. She was on time for pick up, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. After a 45 minute drive to Saint Paul de Vence, we had another 45 minutes to explore the town on our own. This was more than enough time and the town was incredible and very walkable. The wine tasting at Vignoble Rasse was also amazing! Really great wine and some beautiful scenery. Overall, the tour was a perfect half day adventure.”

“We really enjoyed the wine tasting at the vineyard. Our host was friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and made it a fun experience. We also thoroughly enjoyed the walk through St.Paul de Vence….would have liked more time there. I was disappointed that our tour did not have us on the list that day even though I received an email confirmation and a text day prior. Driver had to turn around and pick us up late which shortened our time.”
