Ageing British tennis players take a boat trip…. - Our men’s tennis group of 12 from the UK took a break from the courts for a much needed 3 hour tour along the coast. The ride mixed high speed thrills, with slower paced sightseeing and well presented often humorous anecdotes from our guide Antoine. Time for a nice light lunch on the harbour of Villafranche. All 12 of us were very happy with the trip

Pleasantly content - I booked this tour weeks ahead of our trip and didn’t remember the details when it came to the date. Seeing the boat in person I was a bit disappointed. That being said, it was a great tour. The guide was informative and we all had a head time. We were able to swim in the water and have time in a a Villefranche. Very basic as far as amenities, but still pleasantly happy in the end. Things to note; no bathroom on board, bring your own towel and water. Can get chilly without wind.
