The trip was awesome! Snorkeling was not really an option because there wasn’t much to see. But I did some paddle boarding and swimming. Lunch was good with some pizza and pasta salad. Just be careful what you select if you’re vegetarian!!! Drinks are not included in the price and they only accepted cash, which I wish I had known in advance..

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

Excellent guide, tour a bit rushed I would have loved to spend more time in Eze, but sadly.. for the rest quite informative and leaves you wanting more

Our Tourguide Ms. Eva is sooooooo wonderful and very helpful with all information about the places. I highly reccommend her.❤️
