This tour was fantastic, the best food tour out of the many we’ve taken. Rachel spoke beautiful English and really knew the food and the city. The variety of food sampled was outstanding and the portions provided were generous. We even had a wine tasting—a white, red and rose—which we didn’t expect. Time and money well spent!

Our guide was Leo. He was very friendly and laid-back and was able to keep us all together (especially after the wine tasting!) and entertained! We thoroughly enjoyed the food tour and meeting the store and restaurant owners, and all of the facts that Leo gave us about the city and the background on each food we enjoyed. I would highly recommend this tour and guide!

Foodie Tour

Angela_Q, Mar 2026

Excellent food & wine tour Leo was a great guide. Nice walk thru old town and good shops to visit and taste goodies!

Incredible gastronomical experience

Craig_F, Dec 2025

The private walking/ food tour gave us a fantastic overview of the variety of foods popular in Nice. After the 5 stops we indeed were quite satisfied! Rachel was knowledgeable and made us feel quite comfortable in each of the spots.

A delightful little taste of the culinary delights of Nice.

Warren_N, Oct 2025

We enjoyed a fabulous time being introduced to the unique foods and wines of Nice by our guide, Leo. As well as sharing information on the many delights we got to try, Leo proudly shared interesting information about his home city of Nice. The foods and wines were of the highest quality and we were well looked after by the hosts at each venue. A great way to educate your palate on the delights of Nice’s foods and wines. A highly recommended activity for everyone. Leo looked after us extremely well.

Nice Food Tour

Barbara_P, Oct 2025

We enjoyed walking around the old town area of Nice. Leo had a good variety of places for us to stop to try the food associated with the area. There was quite a bit of walking which we didn’t mind but other people might. We just found it a little difficult to understand Leo at times. I wish he had a little more enthusiasm for this tour-I felt like he was doing it as a way to make money.

Excellent tour!

Natasha_J, Oct 2025

Fantastic experience with Lena, who was a fellow foodie and really knew her stuff! It was a perfect trifecta of great food, great wine, and great views (courtesy of the Old Town). Would definitely recommend this tour!

Good tour, worth checking out

Ward_H, Oct 2025

Nicely planned tour. Start with light tastings and move on to more substantial items. We ended with desserts. The guide was very nice and knowledgeable

An enjoyable tasting in Nice.

Philip_S, Oct 2025

Our guide, Rachel was excellent, she was very informative and had a pleasant personality. We enjoyed all 5 stops on the tour but the Olive Oil store and the Wine Store were most interesting.

Nice taste of Nice

JAMES_L, Oct 2025

Our guide Rachel was knowledgeable, organized and considerate of alll in the tour. The tour included a wide selection of foods and wines.

Best food tour ever!

Sinead was a great...

Anne_J, Sep 2025

Sinead was a great guide. We had a good time getting to know others in our group and walking all over learning about and tasting the delicious foods of the area. Great way to spend an afternoon!

Not worth it!!

Bernoune_F, Sep 2025

My husband and I did this tour and didn’t know what to expect, but we both were disappointed. We had a great tour guide Rachel who gave us a lot of information on the area which was very helpful but the tour it self was a waste of money. There were not enough substances or enough food to call it a food tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. We would like to provide some context so that readers can also understand our point of view. During the tour, we were not informed in advance of your dietary restrictions, which meant that your guide had to make last-minute adjustments and cover additional costs to ensure you still had a pleasant experience, something she did willingly, even though it was not part of her initial obligation. It is also a pity that the diversity of dishes and cuisine you enjoyed was not mentioned, as the experience is not only about quantity. Please note that we are always attentive to our guests’ needs: if something does not meet expectations during the tour, we strongly encourage our guests to speak directly with our guides, who are more than qualified and happy to find suitable alternatives. Thank you again for your comment, which helps us continue improving our services. Marc

Great way to taste parts...

Robert_G, Sep 2025

Great way to taste parts of Nice and see old Nice. Rachel did a great job. A lot of food, you won’t leave hungry.

A great way to get a taste for Nice

Helen_E, Jul 2025

Excellent start to your stay in Nice. Ask for Leo if you like food and history. A great local understanding of the cuisine, culture spirit of Nice.

Fun walking food tour

Brandon_C, Jul 2025

This was a great tour to explore Nice and try a bunch of different types of local foods. We had an olive oil tasting, charcuterie and wine, a local lunch, gelato and chocolates. Everything was amazing! We walked from place to place which was a great way to explore but make sure you wear walking shoes.

Lovely food tour with Camille

Bhanu_N, Jun 2025

We had a really nice time visiting some of the smaller and less busy food places with Camille. She was friendly and considerate, and got me vegetarian options everywhere.

Ayla_W, Jun 2025

Great tour, very interesting.

Karen_S, Jun 2025

It was a wonderful way to see old Nice. Very interesting and quite well organised. Food stops were delicious.

Delicious way to explore Old Nice

Jack_H, May 2025

This walking/eating/drinking tour of the heart of old town Nice was a wonderful experience. Our guide, Camille, was a delight and very knowledgeable about the subject matter. We visited five great locations on the tour, starting with a place that had excellent olive oil and vinegar. We got to sample several delicious varieties. The next stop was a wine shop, where we were able to experience three different wines, along with accompanying cheese, bread, and charcuterie. That was another great experience. Next was lunch, where we shared a platter of Socca (traditional Nice snack, sort of a cross between flatbread and a pancake. It's made with olive oil and chick pea flour), pizza, pissaladiere (sort of a French pizza common to Nice. It's an onion tart with anchovies, olives, and herbs), olive tapenade, poivronade (roasted red pepper dip), panisse (look like French fries made with chickpeas), and beignets. There was more than plenty for everyone. Afterwards, Camille gave us a walking tour of the old town as we made our way to two more food stops--one at a gelato shop and then Maison Auer, one of Nice's oldest chocolatiers. We got to sample several varieties of chocolate, all of which were delicious. All in all, this was a fun and delicious experience, made all the better by Camille. She did a great job. We highly recommend this tour.

Good variety of food, very little wine...

Carol_L, May 2025

Ilia was very nice and had good knowledge. I thought this was a food and wine tour. We only had a small glass of wine at one of the stops. It was wonderful to taste the local food.

Perfect Taste of Nice

Teresa_C, May 2025

We really enjoyed this as our last day in Nice! Our tour guide Rachel showed us a few hidden gems and was very friendly / knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time despite the rain and could’ve kept going!

Great starter tour for the foods of Nice

Martin_B, May 2025

Rachel was a fantastic host who gave us lots of great info on the food and wine we tasted along the way. We had five stops in total: 1. Oil/vinegar 2. Wine/charcuterie 3. Street foods - pissaladière, pizza, tartines, socca 4. Candied fruit/chocolate 5. Ice cream Since just my partner and I were signed up for that day, we had a serendipitous private tour. Rachel kept things interesting and entertaining, and we had a great chat along the way. It was a lovely time!

A Delightful and Delicious Tour

Anders_H, May 2025

Rachel is a wonderful tour guide. With her navigating we made our way through the streets of Nice with ease trying local food along the way such as olive oil samples, freshly made sandwiches, and a local street food platter shared amongst travelers. A delightful and delicious experience, for those that like food tours.

Ok tour for intro to Nice

Bryan_M, May 2025

Rachel did a wonderful job during the tour and we experienced several local Nice foods we typically would not try on our own. Although, not the tour guides fault, the quality of the lunch was OK but not spectacular.

Fun Food Tour

Mike_P, Apr 2025

We had a terrific food tour with Rachel! Small group - only 4 of us. Lots to eat and drink. Highly recommend!!

Amazing Food Tour!

Christopher_B, Apr 2025

We had an incredible experience with Leo as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable of Nice and went above and beyond to give us a great experience, not only about the food, but also history and culture of Nice. We highly recommend going on this tour for great food, great wine, and a great time!

We had a great time on...

Eric_T, Apr 2025

We had a great time on this tour. Vanessa was an excellent guide, very personable and knowledgeable. She gave us fun and interesting tidbits of the city and tailored the things she talked about to what we were interested in learning. Food was great and nicely spaced out between stops throughout the city. The olive oil shop was a definite highlight and my wife appreciated there were two dessert stops!

Wonderful!!

KarrolJo_F, Apr 2025

Leo was fantastic and so much food. It was an outstanding experience and we've been on food tours in Paris and Lyon! Merci, Leo ♥️

Nice food tour.

Lisa_M, Mar 2025

Isabella was incredibly knowledgeable of Nice history! She was passionate about the tour and answered all of our questions thoughtfully. Would highly recommend this tour.
