“The vibe was great. The music was great. The staff was great. The drinks were great. The food was ok. The private island was below expectations and it was not clear that we would have to swim out to the island and leave our things including towels and personals on the boat.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 8 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.)

Review this private Riviera tour from Nice to Èze and Monaco, with a Mercedes minivan, scenic roads, palace visits, and key booking cautions.

“This was described as a tour which I believe is misleading. This was ONLY transportation to some of these places with minimal information about the sites.

Sail Malta’s Marsamxett and Grand Harbors on a private Sliema cruise, with historic forts, city views, and an optional swimming stop.

“The boat is a 26ft day cruiserin very good condition with a bimini top. Our captain Ricardo was a great guy to be around, very nice guy with some great stories. Due to the extreme heat we actually went straight to swin at the south of the island in a really nice bay that appeared popular with locals and far from the usual tourist areas, all in all we had a wonderful day on the sea! (you can get this tour at a way better price if you book directly, just look up the tour companies on google maps, I realized that I paid 50% more)”
