Walk through Vieux-Nice with guides such as Aline, Carmela, and Samuel, hearing stories of Greek, Italian, English, and Russian influence. You’ll visit churches, squares, markets, and quiet corners, then taste a local specialty. Add Castle Hill for a longer walk and wide city views.

“The tour was really interesting and “insider”-like. Eg we went into a church and then found a hidden gem (I won’t spoil) in the backroom/court🤩 Our guide was the nicest and wisest, and a real local who knew where to eat, the history of how Nice became Nice and where to go. Also, we tried some local food together which was yum. Def. worth it! Gør det 🤩”
