Aram was not only knowledgeable of the area but has a great eye for details. So much of what he pointed out to me I would have missed while exploring on my own. Would definitely recommend!

We had a pleasant experience on our private walking tour in Nice with Aram. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and shared a variety of interesting facts about the city. The tour gave us a nice overview of the area, and we appreciated the local perspective along the way. Aram also pointed out a few spots we may not have noticed on our own, which added to the experience. Overall, a good and informative tour for anyone looking to get familiar with Nice.

Dear Sargis, thank you so much for your kind words! It was a sincere pleasure to meet such warm and wonderful people. I was absolutely delighted to show you and your wife around our beautiful Old Town. I truly hope this place stays in your memory as a cozy little piece of paradise! Wishing you both all the very best, and I hope we cross paths again in the near future!
Warm regards,

Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Dianne, thank you so much for this wonderful review! ☀️
Our tour together was truly remarkable and full of surprises, especially with that lovely bonus of visiting the behind-the-scenes of the Carnival! ☺️
It was an absolute pleasure guiding you and your husband. I am thrilled that you enjoyed the local perspective, the hidden spots, and all the fun facts along the way.
Thank you for being such amazing guests. I wish you both a fantastic rest of your travels!
Best regards, Aram
Mazelle_T, Jan 2026
Our tour guide, Aram, is very kind and soft spoken. He offered us to do the tour at an earlier time so we can see more attractions while the sun is out and just in time for the sunset. He is also very knowledgeable about the history of the city. We enjoyed his company so much. Thanks a lot Aram!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Dear Mazelle,
Thank you for your lovely words!
I am so glad we decided to adjust the starting time. Catching the "Golden Hour" and the sunset from the Castle Hill is truly the most magical moment in Nice, and I wanted to make sure you experienced the city in its best light.
It was a genuine pleasure to spend the afternoon with your family and share the stories of the Old Town. Thank you for choosing me as your guide!
Warm regards,
Aram, Guide d'Azur

Aram was a great guide, tailoring our tour to include interesting hidden gems. He contacted us in advance to find out our interests and delivered well. He had great recommendations for food and shopping as well as other things we could see later in the week.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you so much, Barbara, for such a wonderful review!
I was truly happy to show you the beauty of Nice. I am especially glad that we managed to visit the 'black church', I remember how much your husband enjoyed it! It is those unique, personal moments that make these tours so special for me.
Thank you for the pleasant conversation and the great time we spent together. I wish you the best of luck in your future travels, and I hope to see you again soon!

Great tour to take in the morning before the streets are crowded. Also good to go before the restaurants are busy
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you for this fantastic insight!
You hit on the exact reason why our private morning tours are so popular: it’s the best time to experience Nice’s Old Town—before the streets get crowded and the restaurants fill up.
Our goal is always to ensure you see the city peacefully, through the eyes of a local, allowing you to truly absorb the history and atmosphere.
I hope you continue to enjoy the quieter moments of the French Riviera!
