It was excellent except the fact the starting time was mentioned 10 am but the bus actually came at 11 am. No one informed us in advance that the starting time is different in winter, nor was it written anywhere on any of the guides. There were also other passengers waiting with us at the meeting point from 10 am. Apart from that experience, we loved the tour. Would highly recommend. Thanks

Hourly On Time departure point and pickup locations Clearly marked. Very Clean bus. One of the drop-off locations was closed. This provided ample time to tour the town, take memorable postcard type pictures and grab lunch at a local restaurant on the water. If you on the bus top deck, watch for low hanging tree branches.

Very pleasant, Breathtaking views of the coast! Watch out for branches if you are sitting on the open part of the bus

Perfect to know the most outstanding places in a short time

It was very beautiful journey. I saw Nice in a new way.
