Excellent Ali was amazing. The tour itself was very interesting and informative but Ali made it so much more special. He explained all the areas, the buildings and its history. He also made the tour really fun. We could stop and take pictures and Ali could answer all our questions. We could spend the whole day touring with Ali.

Wonderful way to see Nice! Reza was the perfect guide - he shared history and stories while taking us through all areas of the city. We visited Massena, the port, and the old town. Highly recommend!

    Good overview of city

    Cindy_S, Apr 2026
    We booked tour for overview of area and to familiarize ourselves to area before finding the start of a walking tour the next morning. Electric bicycle with driver. Room for 2 adults. Driver took us to major sites. We booked the 40min ride was offered additional time, which we declined as the 40 min was satisfactory for our needs.

    Wonderful experience

    We were picked up in our hotel. Our guide told us that it is only 40 minutes for the tour, we have to add more money if we want more time to see Nice, this started our experience getting sour, nevertheless we went for extra 30 minutes. The tour operator should just have option in this site if we want 1 hour, 2 hours , 3hours, 4 hours instead of being offered during the actual tour. I did appreciate the sites but the experience left us with a bad taste

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the tour. Indeed, we are not responsible for your initial choice; it's up to you to choose the duration that suits you best. Just be sure to check on Viator. The pilot did offer you the option to extend the tour beyond one hour so you could see more palces. Thank you Best regards Mehdi

    Reza was the perfect guide!

    Always ask for ALI

He also made the tour really fun. We could stop and take pictures and Ali could answer all our questions. We could spend the whole day touring with Ali.

    Walk it

    Marilyn_S, Sep 2025
    This is a very quick tour You can walk it yourself We had no idea where we were going And didn’t know if we were stopping or not So trying to get photos???

    Great rickshaw ride

    Rob_P, Sep 2025
    It was a great tour with lots of historical information. Our guide Ludvig was excellent and mastered the history quit well. He was very courteous and knowledgeable.

    Sara_Q, Sep 2025
    Great tour! Wonderful way to get an orientation to Nice. Ludwig was great tour guide and full of information. Also a great picture taker!

    Don’t bother take the little train instead

    Kim_s, Sep 2025
    We take these types of tours whether it’s walking on a golf cart or like this on bicycle in every new place we visit on upon arrival to get an overview. Unfortunately this one was not good. Our driver immediately upon pick up informed us it was only 40 minutes and we would have to pay extra for a better tour (we already paid $75). We said no and he continued on but through the tour reminded us multiple times we could pay more for a better tour .At the end he asked again if we wanted to continue we said no but did ask him to drop us 1/2 mile away (he operates as a regular taxi as well). He said yes and then charged us an additional $30 for the half mile. The total cost was over $100 for a waste of time. Don’t bother. Take the little train instead.

    Fun way to see the city. We recommend it!

    Rebecca_M, Aug 2025
    This is a lovely way to see the city. The bike can weave in and out of the small streets and promenades, and stop wherever you want to take photos. We had a 40 minute ride which gave us a quick tour of all of the main areas. I should imagine a longer one would be more in-depth, but we enjoyed our tour very much and Anatol, our guide, was knowledgeable and lovely. Thank you, Anatol!

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and took us to beautiful places, and rode safely. Must do if in Nice!

    Highly recommended tour of Nice

    Chris_D, May 2025
    Ali met us on time and gave us a fantastic tour around the Old Town, the flower market, along the beachfront and port. Nothing was too much trouble. He kindly took photos of us as we went along the tour and he highlighted much of the architecture and other points of interest. Ali was very friendly and spoke very good English. We throughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks!

    Cool way to see the city,...

    Cool way to see the city, especially with the small streets in the older part of town. Ludwig was a great host.

    Highly recommend!

    Marlene_H, Apr 2025
    Ali was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and kind. By the second day we were there, we had gained a broad understanding of the history of Nice. He patiently explained the historic buildings and infrastructure, and even took the time to take photos of us. Our kids really enjoyed the ride. Highly recommended!

    Nice overview

    The old churches and market. Reza was great. Very safe. Promenade is beautiful. Pickup was easy. Just sent address and bicycle was there in a couple of monutes

    Great way to see Nice

    Jessica_L, Jul 2024
    Our afternoon with Nacy was great. She shared interesting information about Nice and even extended our tour to see more of Nice for an additional fee. The old town of nice can be challenging to navigate and Nacy is a pro!

    Good Tour but be Careful!

    Cheryl_M, Jul 2024
    We were picked up at our hotel- on time and the tour was great. At some point on a stop, the lady told us we could add an hour and see the old and new city. We all agreed and everything went well until we got to the end of the trip and she stated that the last hour would have to be paid in all cash. If she had stated that in the beginning, we would have said no as did not have that many euros. Instead her mate drove one of our people to an ATM. That soured the entire trip. I believe they were making money for themselves and not the company. Not good! I would recommend the trip, but if asked about an extra hour, be aware.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Hello, I am happy to know that you had a good time on the taxi with my colleague. You appreciated the tour and the explanations of my colleague. Indeed when you wish to extend the tour or do an extra or the extension the payment is obviously made to the driver directly. I am sad to know that my colleague that day didn't have the machine for the card payment. Thank you for your review and see you soon in Nice. Best Mr BACHI

    Nice tour with a kind, well informed driver-guide. We enjoyed the beauty of the town at the first sight and , also, through the eye of a friendly local

    1st trip to Nice

    Maxine_H, Apr 2022
    Our driver’s is on time. Very professional. Knows very well the area. We learned a lot with the 40 minutes tour which we extended to an hour.

    Reza is a very good caring guide

    Simone_F, Nov 2025
    It is a very pleasant and interesting walk. We learn a lot about the history of Nice and people born or who lived in Nice. I really like Jean d’Ormesson but I didn’t know he was from Nice We are old we could not have walked to see all this Reza made us some very nice pictures thanks to him
