Nico is a great guide! lovely experience both on the boat, on the road (at the sea) and in the water, snorkeling close to Villefranche-sur-Mer.

Nice boat trip. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy snorkeling, but that's a personal preference and therefore has no influence on my rating. After an encounter with a jellyfish, I was well taken care of with cream. If you enjoy snorkeling or would like to try it, I would recommend it.
