Great Tour of Nice

Old Nice and Castle Hill

Our guide was very informative, and we learned a lot about Old Nice. The tour continues from Old Nice on up to the top of Castle Hill for the noon cannon firing. It is a lot of stairs in the summer heat, so beware if you are mobility impaired. We loved the views from up there and it was well worth the climb. We would definitely recommend this tour as it is a great introduction to Nice.
Wonderful Walking Tour

Chris is so passionate about Nice and a great story teller. He walks you around old town, pointing out interesting things and ends with a surprise on castle hill. He even provides great restaurant recommendations so be sure to book this tour at the beginning of your stay in Nice. Really enjoyable tour.
Great Tour

Chris was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable of the history of old Nice. I felt bad that I had no more euros left since this is my last day of my trip so I couldn't tip him. However, he was outstanding. In addition he brought us a nice little treat from his mother. An onion bread that is originated from Nice. Great tour.
Lovely morning in Nice

Wonderful tour for first timers in Nice! We were newbies to the city and wanted to know a little more history to truley appreciate the area and culture. Chris was absolutely fantastic! Instantly you will feel comfortable and welcomed around him. We learned interesting history about Nice, enjoyed beautiful sights, and covered quite a bit of ground. At the end of the tour Chris shared with us his mothers homemade Pissaladière (delish!) at the top of Castle Hill. The views from the top are extraorindary! Once our tour concluded, an email was sent out immediately with reccomended spots to try from a locals perspective. Was so helpful!
Great walking tour in Nice.

Chris is such an amazing guide! He is fun, knowledgeable, and can be well heard in the noisy environment. His roots in Nice made him a perfect guide for this tour, not to mention his animated style to make this trip more enjoyable and stories more memorable. His mother (he) is so sweet to pack his backpack with the delicious homemade onion pie (pissaladiere)! It was flavorful and a perfect snack to finish the trip. The trip does involve a good amount of walking and a bit hiking but that great for us. He also provided a link to the recommended restaurants and experience for is to explore later. Highly recommended!
Beautiful Nice

This walking tour was one of my favorite tours in Nice. Our guide, Chris, is a local who offers a great perspective on the city and its food/customs/history. The tour was just the right length, and it covered all the best parts of the city, complete with a moment to stop for ice cream/coffee, and multiple great vantage points. Highly recommend.

Chris provided us an excellent tour of Old Nice and Castle Hill. In 2 plus hours, he packed in a great deal of Nice's historical background. His passion and joy for Nice was evident every step of the way! We cannot forget to mention...his mom's homemade socca was delicious! Highly recommend.

The tour the great. Our guide was friendly, shared a lot of information and the history of the place and the area we covered gave us a good understanding of the old town and some of the historic spots. Total time spent was good and would definitely recommend this tour for folks who want to get a good understanding and overview of the area and can plan to stroll and check out some of the spots post the tour.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
