I had an amazing food tour experience with Lara. She has a lot of knowledge about the city of Nice and takes really good care of her customers

Laura was a wonderful guide. She was friendly, professional and accommodated the group wonderfully. We learned, we ate, we laughed. It was a fantastic experience for our first trip to Nice. Highly recommend doing this tour towards the beginning of your stay!

This was an exceptional experience! Lara was a knowledgeable and gracious tour guide. We were full beyond belief after it was over. Definitely don’t eat breakfast before the tour! It’s definitely more of a food tour than wine, but you will get to enjoy a local red and white.

My guide Laila was very nice. She had a great knowledge of the history of Nice and the food, wine, etc. During the tour, she told us more about Nice's delicious food, numerous shops and the interesting history of this city.She stopped here and there in the Saleya market to sample traditional socca, olives and dried tomatoes, truffles, prosciutto and wine. All of them were delicious. And at the end of this tour, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch at Castle Hill Park. Beautiful panoramas, blue skies and seas, you will find that the name Côte d'Azur is really appropriate. Also, this tour will give you a number of suggestions for your stay. Two days after the tour, I went to the shop I visited on the tour again to buy souvenirs. Because it was a very good store. It's a good idea to take this tour as soon as you get to Nice. I`m sure that it will make your stay in Nice even better. I recommend it.

We had THE BEST DAY with Carmella! We ate our way through the market and shops, drank wine, had a little picnic - but also learned the history of Nice and learned about life there. It was very personal and we had lots of laughs. Great time!

It was a fun day, lots of things to try. Our guide, Lara, was informative, friendly and accommodating. Lots of chances to sample goodies and to stop and buy things to take home. The picnic on Castle Hill was relaxing. We stayed on the hill after lunch to enjoy the park and the views.

Carmela was our food tour guide around the wonderful streets of Niece. She took us to all the best delicious places for food tasting, she also taught us about history of the town and we end up with a picnic with more yummy food and wine. It’s been my first time in Niece and I highly recommend Carmela. Also, she speaks 5 different languages and she knows how to connect with people and make you feel welcome. Muchas gracias 🙏 😊

I can't recommend this tour enough. I am a chef from NYC, so naturally, I booked a food tour. This tour was so much more than I was anticipating. Our guide ( i can't remember her name..) was so knowledgeable and accommodating for the groups wants. Not only that, but i wasn't expecting just the sheer AMOUNT of places we would go. I don't want to spoil anything, so I will leave out specifics... just book this and you are in for a treat. Well worth the price. Only thing I would warn about is that there is A LOT of walking. We had an 87 year old in our group who did great, but he was a trooper. May not be for everyone if you aren't up for it. Honestly though, I can't recommend this tour enough.
