Fun, beautiful tour

Janet_L, Aug 2025

Great way to get a feel for the city. Lots of fun. I recommend do it early in your trip so you know where you want to get a closer look

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Thanks you so much Janet

Very good

Robert_B, Sep 2024

The tour was very interesting but it was hard to hear the driver’s comments sometimes, depending on which direction he turned his head to speak. He was a very nice man.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Thanks for your review And now. , i.know that i have to speak loudly when it's windy weather. Christopher

Great one hour tour around Central Nice, port and old town, particularly if you have walking difficulties.

Jenny_K, Sep 2024

We chose this tour as the pickup and drop off was at the hotel and my partner has slight breathing problems so can struggle with walking too far. A great way to see the central part of Nice, the Port and old town even if you don’t have a problem with walking distances. The rickshaw style bike was comfortable and gave great access to the cycle lanes and small back streets with an excellent tour guide pointing out the key sites and providing interesting information and background. The only reason for not giving the trip 5* is that it was very windy along the seafront.

The Best

Christopher was a real gentleman and made us feel so safe on our first (mom and daughter) trip to Nice.....

A wonderful tour of Nice

Katelyn_M, Apr 2024

Christophe took us for an afternoon tour around Nice and was absolutely fantastic. He gave us a great overview of Nice’s history and culture, had some great recommendations, and even dropped us off at a classic car show upon hearing about our interest in cars. A must do if you’re visiting Nice!

Excellent tour! Lots of fun and very informative :) lovely guide

JENNY_T, Dec 2023

Super lovely Christopher took us around. We covered so many beautiful sights. It was great to hear the history behind the major landmarks. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality! All the best for the future

Great way to see a lovely City

Duncan_C, Sep 2023

Excellent one hour tour which was interesting and showed us places we hadn't seen before. Very comfortable ride and great guide.

Fun morning with Christophe

Tracey_S, Sep 2023

Christophe was great. He was quick to respond to our last minute reservation and was very friendly and showed us some interesting sights

Late and very short

Laura_M, Aug 2023

Our driver pushed our tour back twice and we ended up starting over an hour later than was planned. Because of this, we missed the sunset he had promised for us to see. We weren’t able to stop at the famous I Love Nice sign because it was so crowded by then and it was completely dark. Many of the places we stopped, the driver would mention that we needed to come back in the morning to actually see it. I was expecting there would be nighttime things to see and not just telling us to check it out in the daytime. The driver also drove us through very busy streets and would beep at people to move. It was very embarrassing and we had people mocking us throughout. The tour also only lasted 45 mins. I was very disappointed by the whole experience, especially since it cost $50 each. I don’t recommend.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Hi Laura. I think you are on the wrong page to let your review ( 1 more time). You did this bad experience with an other company who start on massena Square. In summer, and specially end of day, nice is very busy. Sorry for your bad experience but it was not with us..

Fun

Michael_M, Jul 2023

Took a wonderful pedicab tour. Our driver was so knowledgeable. It was a wonderful way to view and learn about nice

Totally recommend this!

Linda, Jun 2023

I already wrote a glowing review of Christophe, our tour guide, but I need to add to that review. Not only was this a GREAT way to see the scope of Nice, but as we drove around, he recommended a few restaurants. We found the first few he recommends to be our favorites, and as a result, we cancelled all our other dinner reservations and only went to the restaurants he recommended.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you so much Linda

Fantastic Experience

KENNETH_J, May 2023

Our tour guide was amazing! My mother has trouble walking and he was very generous with his time by meeting us at our hotel to pick us up and dropping us off directly at the tram, so she wouldn’t have to walk very far. He took us through Old Nice and explained the history which was fascinating to us. Great experience!

Response from Host, May 2023

Thanks Kenneth. It was a pleasure to meet you and your mother. Chris

Great way to spend an hour

AubreyDitmire, Nov 2022

Absolutely wonderful tour! The perfect amount of time and hit up all the highlights. It’s a great way to get an overview. Now I know what I want to go back and visit more in depth. Tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!

Inside Nice

Tracy_M, Nov 2021

We appreciated getting into the nooks and crannies of Nice that vehicles can not. A scenic and enjoyable tour!

Great experience

Nicolette_S, Jul 2021

Loved this more than expected. Christof was pleasant, informative, and spoke great English. He was even able to manage the pedicab through the narrower Old Town village where cars aren’t allowed. It was wonderful to cover so many worthy sights while someone else did the peddling. Highly recommend

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Thanks nicolette. It was a pleasure to share this visit with you and your daughter.

Fun intro to nice

Racheal_R, Sep 2019

Did 1hr 8pm tour, with hotel pickup. Had Hyatt concierge confirm p/u & everything was set. Our driver/guide Eric was on time & friendly & English was great. He gave great recommendations of must eats/sees during the tour . We even stopped for ice cream at the best place in nice.. oooh so good. Thanks Eric!

Excellent tour. Pedicabs are a great...

Katharine R, Jul 2017

Excellent tour. Pedicabs are a great way to see the highlights of Nice and can get down the back alleys that cabs/buses can't do. These particular pedicabs are great on a hot summer day - the open back means air is able to flow straight through. There were 6 of us together and we were able to do the tour together with our excellent guides. Perfect for visitors of all ages our group was aged 11-73. Thank you for a great tour!

Activité décevante

Marie_B, Jul 2024

Le tour devait durer 1h45 mais au bout de 45 minutes c’était fini… très décevant Nous n’avons pas reçu beaucoup d’informations toutefois Christophe était très gentil

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Bonsoir Marie. Je suis un peu surpris de votre commentaire. Vous aviez réservé un " grand tour " qui dure 60 minutes et non pas le" tour prestige " qui dure effectivement 1h40. Tous nos tours sont fait avec le plus grand soin et nous ne manquons pas d'explications. Il se peut que ma visite ait pris 5 minutes de moins mais 15 minutes de moins jamais . Vous vous êtes sans doute trompé lors de votre réservation et j'en suis navré. Mais votre commentaire ne reflète aucunement la vérité. Merci de le modifier . Bien à vous. Christophe

Excellente expérience avec notre guide

Guy_R, May 2024

Notre pilote guide nous a contacté la veille, il était ponctuel, très habile avec son vélo taxi et connaissait parfaitement l'histoire des endroits visités.

Esperienza fantastica!

Daniele_C, Mar 2023

Siamo rimasti molto soddisfatti dell'esperienza in risciò serale e in particolare della nostra guida Christophers sempre gentile e disponibile a rispondere alle nostre domande e richieste, con gentilezza e cordialità.

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Grazie Danièle. C'était un plaisir partagé.

Très sympathique tour de Nice en velo-taxi en compagnie d'un très gentil guide (Christophe) qui connaissait parfaitement l'histoire et la géographie de la ville.
