Monument du Centenaire

This is the right place to start our tour, where I will tell you about the evolution of the city of Nice over the centuries... We will then head towards the famous Place Massena and more precisely towards the Fountain of the Sun.

Place Massena

With its beautiful Piedmontese architecture and its fountain of the sun housing the famous statue of Apollo, Place Masséna is the indisputable and essential lungs of Nice.

Marche aux Fleurs Cours Saleya

Visit the famous Flower Market on Cours Saleya with its bright colors and sublime scents, presenting the flowers of the region, including the famous lavender. Mondays are the time for the antique market.

Old Town

I will show you around the jewels of old Nice, its narrow cobbled streets, its alleys used to keep the cool in summer and the heat in winter. You will contemplate the facades of its old buildings in pastel tones and you will wander in its shops selling Nice soap, Provencal textiles, cheese, crafts and all this is added the scent of spices and food. In this marvelous picturesque and colorful place, you will discover countless restaurants, squares, churches, monuments, museums, cafes, wine bars, ice cream parlors… The beautiful Place Massena, the green spaces, the Cours Saleya with its flower market, the exceptional architectural heritage, the pedestrian streets and the Promenade des Anglais will certainly not leave you indifferent.

We highly recommend this guided tour! The guide knows a lot about the history of Nice and all kinds of recommendations (shops, food, things to visit, ...). He can also be reached via Whatsapp or e-mail for recommendations during the rest of your stay in Nice.

The walking tour of Nice was a well spent morning. Najib is a great guide, making history come alive! He also has given us a list of suggestions to further enjoy the area. The tour was fun and informative, I recommend it.

Helen_J

this was an awesome tour! Nejib gives a ton of information on Nice yet gives it in a fun way so it's not boring. We got a much better appreciation for the city as opposed to walking around on our own. He also gave us good restaurant recommendations...they were yummy! Totally recommend this tour!

AlaExpat

Excellent tour with knowledgeable and entertaining leader. Good introduction to Nice, its history and culture. The small group size was a real plus for me.

Dave_G

Informative & fun! Nejib knows his way around Nice and we recommend his services. We never would have gotten as much out of our time in Nice had we not hired Nejib to take us deep into the culture, history, and things to see of Nice.

Sheryl_B

Great tour with Nejib! He has great knowledge of Nice and surrounding areas. We saw so much and had some food from Nice. He was delightful and took many photos of us. We had a great history lesson and a test at the end. Haha it was great.

Be ready for walking - a LOT! But it is well worth the effort. Our guide was great - full of knowledge, a good sense of humor, and able to encourage cranky elders to keep walking. We got a painless history lesson about Nice, beautiful views of the city and bay, good food and shopping tips, instructions for not getting lost, and a bottle of water. 😊 We’d do the tour again - and, if you go to Nice, you should too!

Nejib, was an excellent guide, he was very attentive to all on the tour. Very witty & knowledgeable regarding the history of Nice

Catherine_F

Our guide, Nejib, was personable, funny and knowledgeable. We wandered all through Old Town, visiting churches, plazas, the open air market, monuments, and then the climb up Castle Hill. Along the way, Nejib kept us entertained and informed of the history, the stories and the culture of Nice. A 3-hour walking tour that passed quickly and left us with a solid overview and feeling for this beautiful city. Thank you, Nejib! Your tour was a highlight of our visit to Nice!
