It was an amazing experience Jenny was extremely knowledgeable and showed us and told us things about nice that we would never have known

Old town - Nice

Rita_i, Apr 2025

We had a wonderful time touring Old town with Jenny! She was very knowledgeable and had interesting and fun facts for us! She even surprised us with some gelato in the middle of our tour!

Wonderful experience

Sarah_S, Jan 2025

Jenny was a wonderful guide. She has a wide array of knowledge and took the time to adapt the experience to my interests. Would strongly recommend to anyone visiting Nice.

Jennie is the best guide we have ever had !!

PremalGandhi, Jan 2025

Jennie is one of the best guides we have ever had !! She was knowledgeable, had a ton of stories and generally very hospitable. We were so lucky to have her as our guide !! Several awesome stories like bank robbery (my daughter Mahi loved !!), history of Nice being part of France (I loved), !!

Amazing tour of Nice

Gabriela_R, Jul 2024

I didn’t know what to expect but the tour was amazing my sister and I very much enjoyed it. Jenny showed us some amazing spots she’s so sweet we both learned a lot about Nice and hidden Gems in the old town that we didn’t even realize we have walked right past. She explains everything very well and actually cares about you not rushing and she gets to know you as well takes you to beautiful spots for pictures too. I’m so glad I booked this and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide, Jenny is the best such a nice kind person! I’ll definitely be back and I can’t wait!

Awesome Tour

Alexander_A, Jul 2024

Jenny did such a wonderful job with this tour...She is passionate about showing guests the best of Nice. I was by myself and she took me on a tour anyway. Highest recommendation, the best tour I have taken in two weeks in France.

Not such a 'dream' tour.

Stela_M, Jul 2024

It was a bit of rain that day and we waited for the tour guide who did not show up or send me a message prior to the meeting time. She did reach out and apologised the next day. Lucky for us, we found a walking tour that passed by and were happy to join them.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Respectfully, we not only apologized but also immediately refunded you and explained the emergency hospitalization of our guide on May 14th. Since then, we've had no cancellations and have continued to provide the best experience for our travellers. Kind regards, Magic Moments Tours

This tour the highlight of our time in Nice!

Simon_D, Jun 2024

Jenny was a delight to listen to as she took us all over Nice. Her stories and secret streets and recommendations were perfect! Loved our time in Nice and the highlight was this walking tour!

Incredible, fun evening with Jenny!

ChristinaCatchpole, Jun 2024

Jenny was amazing! She is full of knowledge about both the past and present of Nice and shares this knowledge in a fun and engaging way throughout the tour. Jenny had lots of recommendations about places to go while in Nice, shared lots of hidden gems I would never have learned without the tour and was always offering to snap a photo of me for the memories. Can’t recommend this tour enough!

Unforgettable Nice Experience

Jacqueline_A, Jun 2024

Jenny is the best! She didn't cancel the tour even though I was the only one left after the others canceled. I could tell how much she loved Nice and how passionate she is about her profession. She is very warm and friendly. I didn't just meet a tour guide in Nice; I think I found a friend.

Fun, engaging and lively walking tour of Nice.

Rita_R, Jun 2024

We really enjoyed our walking tour with Jenny. She was very knowledgeable about the history and unique culture of Nice and had mapped out a great itinerary for us. Throughout the tour she kept us engaged and made it fun. She asked questions, conversed with us and solicited our feedback. She also had a couple of surprises for us in store to help us remember our experience. She was also very kind and told us to consider her our friend in Nice. Thank you, Jenny, for a memorable evening. We appreciate you.

Our guide Jenny was...

Derrick_S, May 2024

Our guide Jenny was simply amazing! Her storytelling was brilliant, bringing the history and charm of Nice to life in a captivating way. The tour was incredibly interesting, filled with fascinating insights and hidden gems that I would have never discovered on my own. Jenny's passion for Nice was evident in every story she shared, making the tour not only informative but also truly engaging. She went above and beyond, providing us with a list of fantastic restaurant recommendations that perfectly complemented our exploration of Nice.This tour exceeded all my expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Nice.

Fabulous evening walking tour of Nice

Thrse_D, May 2024

I recently took an evening walking tour of Nice with Jenny, and it was an unforgettable experience! The evening timing was perfect as we could avoid the morning heat, making the tour much more enjoyable. The small group setting allowed for a personal approach, and Jenny was incredibly attentive and engaging. She took many beautiful photos of me, capturing the stunning panoramic views of Nice that she showed us. The tour was filled with interesting surprises, and I couldn't have been happier. This was truly a memorable and delightful experience. Highly recommended!

Jenny is the BEST! Must take her walking tour!!

Simkie_U, May 2024

Jenny was just FANTASTIC! The best walking tour guide we've EVER had and we've done a lot of walking tours! She is enthusiastic, pleasant, patient, courteous, friendly, full of good info and hidden stories about Nice, extremely kind caring & helpful, gave us xlnt tips on where to eat where to go what to see and how to get there, also showed us how to buy train tickets and load trips on a card for buses and trams. We thoroughly enjoyed her walking tour and left with a lot of knowledge not just about Nice but about what to sightsee in the French Riviera. JENNY IS ABSOLUTELY A TREASURE!! Another thing that impressed us a lot is that there were only 2 of us on the 2:30pm tour and she still treated us like royalty. We've had other instances where tour guides cancelled the tour if not enf ppl but Jenny was just as attentive and engaged as if leading a full tour! Also since there were only 2 of us she offered to take our pics along the way at iconic spots (not possible on a large group), this was so thoughtful of her and a big value-added service! Side note: I had my sunglasses stolen out of my backpack on the train, and Jenny told me where to go to shop and even sent me detailed instructions how to get there. This kind of caring and considerate attitude just blew us away! We just can't praise her enf, she's a God-sent and anyone who takes her walking tour will have an awesome experience! Hard to find good-hearted ppl like her these days. Jenny made our stay in Nice most memorable and for that we're eternally grateful!

A delightful day with a genuinely enthusiastic tour guide

Abigail_W, May 2024

I think Jenny might have outshone Nice on this tour! It's always nice to spend time with someone who really enjoys their job and Jenny's love for Nice really added something special to the tour. We found the meeting place easily, left on time, and just generally had a great time. I'd consider myself an experienced traveller so it was lovely to still be surprised by new things that I'd never heard about Nice before...& I also appreciated the amazing ice cream haha. Highly recommend this tour :)

Wonderful tour of Nice!

Alice_B, May 2024

The best tour of Nice!

Mary_S, May 2024

I feel SO lucky to have booked this tour with Jenny - it was the best part of my trip to France! If you have the chance to join her tour, I cannot recommend it enough. She is incredibly gifted, and clearly someone who has found their calling as a tour guide and storyteller. Jenny was extremely knowledgable and passionate about Nice. Not only did she provide fascinating insights into every landmark we encountered, but she also seamlessly wove in historical anecdotes and pointed out hidden gems that truly enriched the experience - exactly what you hope a guide will do. It was a truly unforgettable exploration, leaving me with cherished memories, beautiful pictures, and a newfound appreciation for the art of storytelling. Thank you so much Jenny, for this once in a lifetime experience!

Such a great experience!

Her expertise in the history of Nice, both the ancient and modern parts of the city, was evident as she shared fascinating insights with us. She went above and beyond by taking extra time to point out the best views and providing personal recommendations for dining and shopping. Jenny's thoughtful guidance truly enhanced our experience, making our day in Nice unforgettable. A heartfelt thank you to Jenny for making it so special!
