Decision
Choosing a Nice Boat Tour: a Seat, a Shared Boat or the Whole Boat
What each kind of trip buys, which ones swim and which land, who is aboard, shade and toilets, children and non-swimmers, and a table to decide by.
Nice Boat Tour Guides
These are the long reads for the choices you make before you book one of the boat tours in Nice France. Which kind of boat? How does a whole day on the water fit together? When do you book, and what do you pay on board? What does a private boat cost, and when does each boat stop sailing?
Start with which boat trip to choose if you have not picked a kind of trip, or with the day on the water, hour by hour if you have the time. The blog answers single questions in fewer words.
