Our guide Carmela was fantastic. She was incredible knowledgeable, engaging and friendly. We learned a ton and enjoyed every single tasting. It was also a great way to experience the Old Town of Nice. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Marion was upbeat and passionate about Nice and the surrounding area and the foods that make it a special place. My family and I had a great time tasting local foods and drinking local beers and wines. All the while learning fascinating information from Marion. It was a great day.

A great tour of the old city along with ample food, drink and history. Gabbi was such a great guide!

We had the best time on this tour with Lara— she is knowledgeable, friendly, and really knows her way around! We learned so much about city history and culture through the food— everything was delicious, interesting, fun. The other group cancelled last minute, so it was just us on the tour: it felt personal and special. Totally recommend this lovely tour!! And one tip: you will be full by the end of the tour so don’t each too much beforehand! The perfect start to our time in Nice :)

Steve_C, Sep 2025
We had an excellent tour with Marion in Nice. She was delightful and full of cultural, historical, and gastronomic information. She clearly had a good relationship with all the shop owners and food vendors we visited. The tour was not rushed but always at a good pace for seeing the areas. You could tell Marion was smart and loved to experience life in France through food and wine.

I had such a wonderful experience on this food and wine tour in Nice! Our guide was incredible—she combined fascinating history with deep food knowledge and made the whole experience feel personal and fun. It never felt like we were just customers; instead, she made us feel like friends exploring the city together. What really stood out was how authentic she was and how warmly the local vendors and shopkeepers greeted her—you could tell she had genuine relationships with them. This made the tour feel even more special. Highly recommend!

Lara was an excellent guide. There were only 4 in our group so we felt very catered to. The tastings were great!! . Nice is a vibrant city and Lara was very knowledgeable and excited to share her knowledge. Take this tour. You will have a great time!!

This is a fantastic tour. Our tour guides name was Laura. She was incredibly sweet and kind. She took us all over the place and we ate great food in the market and beyond. My family loved this tour. It was fantastic. My only tip is to bring a bottle of water with you, especially if it's hot! You can also buy water during the tour, but it's just easier if you bring your own.

Karen_K, Jul 2025
You will not be hungry when the tour is finished! Local specialties offered by the best vendors together with a bit of history to explain why Nice is Nice today was an enlightening experience. Lara is a wonderful guide! I would highly recommend starting any trip to Nice with this tour to help you get started and to better understand your environment.

A delicious and fun food tour that we LOVED! We got to try so many samples, wine, and olive oil - all amazing staples of Nice/Southern France! Our tour guide, Marion was so sweet and super informative - we had the best time and highly recommend!

We started by the fountain at the Place de Messena, and walked to a sweet shop by the flowers' market, where we tried a few sweets which were amazing. It was great to learn about the history of the foods and the region at the same time. After walking around some of the market's stalls, we made our way to a Socca restaurant, where we sat and ate and drank. Our tour ended with a cute pop-up picnic with wine and a collection of breads, meats, and cheeses. Everything was delicious and Marion and Gabby were very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. They even got us coffees since we didn't get a chance to have that before the tour started!
Marianne_A, Mar 2025
Perfect tour if you want to learn about Nice and taste many of the local dishes. Our guide Laura was so nice and made the experience!

The tour was great and our guide, Sasha was awesome! We had a great time. It was a really nice way to start our trip in Nice and to get to know the area a bit better. The food was good - really enjoyed the flower market.
Renee_O, Oct 2024
Guide was very nice and friendly. Very accommodating to everyone. However, I was not very impressed with the actual foods. It’s not that they were bad, they just didn’t seem very interesting to me, but perhaps I’m just not a fan of this type of French food. I felt like the samples were mostly snack foods. Most of the food tours I’ve been on were a lot more substantial but it could just be this region, I’m not sure. Anyway, I wouldn’t highly recommend this as a must-do. You can walk around the market yourself and try random things when you see people waiting in line for them.
Felicia_J, Oct 2024
Our guide, Lara, gave a lovely tour. The tour goes through the old town and there was plenty of food to sample from candies to traditional street foods and a variety of other Nice foods.
Mike_B, Sep 2024
Marion was great and friendly. The weather was a bit rainy but we improvised and had a nice time. She was very knowledgeable and had a positive energy. She also helped with advice of other places to see while in the area.
Maureen_M, Sep 2024
Learning the history of the region and its connection with the local food. Marion’s passion and knowledge of both history and food enhanced the experience. All the tastings were wonderful.
Kirsten_C, Sep 2024
Had a great experience learning about the history and the cuisine local to the area! Everything was delicious, got to try some unique things that I would not have known about otherwise. The wine was also amazing, this is a really great way to enjoy Nice and I would recommend it to anyone traveling to this area
Maha_Z, Aug 2024
