Taste of Nice!!!
Voyager21015034884, Dec 2024
The walking tour of Nice is perfect to give you a good taste of the wonderful city of Nice . Our tour guide Lara was really knowledgeable about the city's history, culture and gave us excellent recommendations for the restaurants!!! We hide and recommend her as a tour guide. Lara was also kind enough to give us recommendations for Mónaco and Montecarlo.
Too much standing and listening. Couple opportunities to sit would have been welcome.

It was okay. It was too long and ended with an uphill viewpoint so we chose to leave. I liked the fact it was prepaid and we were a small group. Stopping at food stalls was a highlight because we tried a local treat we wouldn’t have known about.

We had such a great time on our walking tour of Nice! Nejib was very knowledgeable about the history, restaurants, monuments and hidden gems of this beautiful city. We saw places we wouldn’t have seen on our own - this tour made our time in Nice extremely memorable.
Thanks Nejib!
