Your Itinerary

Place Massena

Place Masséna is a square in the city center of Nice, named after Marshal André Masséna, a native of Nice.

Neuf Lignes Obliques

Nine oblique lines ( neuf lignes obliques ) is a work by French artist Bernar Venet, located in Nice, France. Installed in 2010 in front of the Promenade des Anglais on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the annexation of the county of Nice to France.

Opera de Nice

The Opéra de Nice is the principal opera venue in Nice, France, which houses the Ballet Nice Méditerrannée and the Nice Philharmonic

Maison Auer

This is the oldest Sweet Shop in Nice. Strategically located in front of the Opera house the business was giving from father to son since the 1820s.

Marche aux Fleurs Cours Saleya

Here every morning except Monday when there is antiques market you can find a traditional flower market. In the shade of striped awnings, hundreds of flowers make eyes at you as well as fruits and vegetables, all of which come uniquely from the inland region of Nice

Palais de la Prefecture

Palais de la Prefecture is a magnificent building; build here in the XVIth century to host Savoie family (rulers of Nice) after the castle of Nice was abandoned.

Palais de Justice de Paris

Built in the 1890s, the Hall of Justice was designed according to the very traditional principle of a colonnade and a great neoclassical staircase. The sign “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité”, French for "Liberty, equality, fraternity” which you can see above the doors is the national motto of France

Place Rossetti

Place Rossetti is famous among the local for the best Gelato Places in Nice

Cathedrale Sainte-Reparate

The Sainte-Réparate de Nice cathedral is a catholic cathedral built in the old town of Nice. The actual building was built between 1650 and 1699, year of its consecration.

Promenade des Anglais

The Golden Age of Nice At the turn of the century, Nice was a winter resort for the rich, and was virtually deserted in the summer. At that time, the winter climate was so moderate that white was considered appropriate attire. Only the nouveau riche (hipsters) would be so crass as to vacation on the Riviera in the heat of the summer, like Nicole and Dick Diver in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Tender Is the Night.

Castle Hill of Nice

The Nice castle was a fortified work with a military vocation, present from the XIᵉ to the XVIIIᵉ century on a rocky hill, overlooking the bay of Nice. After undergoing several sieges, notably in 1543 and 1691, it was taken in 1705 by French troops and then destroyed in 1706 by order of Louis XIV

i always try to do a walking tour in every city I visit. I really enjoyed the tour of old nice. It had been over 30 ears since I had been to the city and it sowed me a side that I did not remember. Pamela was a great guide.

We had a great time with our guide Jenny and would 100% recommend the tour. She helped us explore Nice through local stories and get an authentic feel of the place. She was also very welcoming and open to questions!

Our guide Leo turned out to be a truly nice guy with great stories to share. He also alllowed for some short breaks to spend some time on the market or in a cathedral. We were a tiny group of only theee tourists so this made it even more intimate and nice! Nice itself is an amazing and beautiful small city with a great atmosphere!

No communication about getting to Nice from Villefranche cruise port. Missed tour as only taxi was overwhelmed.

An enjoyable tour of Nice Old Town with some interesting information provided. Friendly and helpful guide. Recommended.

The hugely knowledgeable Callan gave us a trip to remember. She brought the town alive with fascinating facts and exciting stories of its history. It was paced beautifully and finished with wonderful views from the castle. Nothing was too much trouble for her and all our questions were answered. Superb.

I went on a solo tour to know more about Nice's old town, and I dont regret it! Callan was our tour guide and she was sharing Nice's history and her memories since she arrived in Nice. She showed us around and talked to everyone, didn't fell on my own at all!! Thank you Callan for this tour!

I love doing a walking tour when we first arrive to be able to see where we want to go and explore further, get the lay of the land if you will. Our guide was very nice and I don't fault him for this lack luster tour. It was only 4 of us which was even better but Nice is just so small and there isn't a ton of fascinating history to make the tour worthwhile. We basically did a full circle, killed time in the market which was unnecessary since we had just started the tour and ended at Castle Hill which I thought was more than just a wall. He had some interesting facts but not worth the 2 hours to do the tour.

If you want to visit Nice, this free walking tour is definitely what you need. Jenny, our tour guide, was really passionate and knowledgeable about the city and she gave us a lot of information on the history, culture and main attractions. She also gave us some tips on restaurants, museums and other available tours. I strongly recommend it.

Nice tour if you’re totally new to Nice / Côte d’Azur and want to take an effortless walk around while getting a basic sense and introduction - little information beyond that, probably owing to the fact our guide was not a local, but had her script memorised well - the only information beyond that was where to go out to drink and dance, perhaps not the most interesting information for a group mainly consisting of families ;) Would not say it was „fab“ or „brill“, but good fun, but nothing special.
