What are people saying about Nice

D_W, Jul 2026

Fantastic hike in the French Alps and Medieval Villages! Great Guide!

Great day of hiking in the French Alps. Fantastic scenery and a great guide named Sam. There are several preserved Medievil Villages near Nice and this tour took us there. They are over 800 hundred years old and basically unchanged. They are something to see and a guide is the best way to see them. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes for the walking. It would not be for someone with mobility issues. Sam catered to our needs and we had plenty of rest stops. He is an excellent guide and certainly knows his way around. I would not do it without a guide bc there is a lot to see. He took us swimming in a beautiful small river below one of the villages. We stopped for lunch and it was fantastic. They chose a local menu for us and it was delicious. The chef came out to speak to us and we really enjoyed the food after hiking for the morning. Had a great time.

Nice City E-Bike Tour with a Local Guide

D_W, Jul 2026

Excellent E-bike tour of the old city!

Excellent bike tour of the Old City of Nice. It also includes a ride around the Harbor and up to the top of Mont Boron with such fantastic views. I would say the age range for this tour would be older teenagers and up. I am a senior and loved it. And here’s the most important part. These are E-bikes! That is the only way to do this! Otherwise, the hills would be way too much for the average rider. Our guide was Zara. She was such a wonderful guide on this three hour tour. Highly recommend.

Monaco was lovely

We loved this tour and our driver Jaoued definitely made it more special. He was very informative and friendly. Eze was a beautiful town full of scenic moments and shopping. Monocco and Monto Carlo were breathtaking. We went a few days before the formula one race so it was really neat to see them setting up for the race. This was a must see tour!

Nejib Made Our Visit to Nice Unforgettable!

We booked this walking tour at the last minute and are so glad we did! Our guide, Nejib, was outstanding from the very beginning. He communicated with us right away, providing clear meeting point details and even explaining how to get there from our cruise ship's port, which made everything stress-free. Throughout the tour, Nejib was incredibly knowledgeable, informative, and funny. He shared fascinating information about Nice, Old Town, and Castle Hill while keeping the experience engaging and enjoyable. He also took lots of photos during the tour and sent them to us afterward via WhatsApp, which was a wonderful bonus. What really set Nejib apart was how much he genuinely cared about making our visit special. He sent us recommendations for other things to do in Nice and suggested places to eat. We ended up visiting one of his recommended restaurants, and to our surprise, Nejib stopped by to help us with ordering and even took another photo of us. His service went above and beyond our expectations. After the tour, he even took a photo of our cruise ship leaving port and sent it to us. That thoughtful gesture perfectly reflects the level of care and attention he gives his guests. If you're visiting Nice, don't hesitate to book this tour. Nejib made our day memorable and provided one of the best tour experiences we've ever had.

Nice City Segway Sightseeing Tour

Great way to explore the city

Eleanor was our guide and she did a fantastic job! We were taught how to safely ride the Segway and she led our group around the streets of Nice. We saw some great spots, took some great photos, and returned to further explore the area later in the day on foot. I had never been on a Segway before, but was able to feel comfortable to successfully navigate the neighborhood.
