This was one of the highlights of our trip to the French Riviera. Côme was accommodating, professional, and fun. He took us from Cannes to Monaco, showing us every bay, town, and landmark in between. His enthusiasm on the trip was contagious, and he also got us a bottle of wine and some fresh juice! Boat was brand new, clean, and fast! Would recommended this tour to any small group in the Nice area
