What you can expect
Discover the Heart of Nice – A Fun Walking Adventure!
Step into the colourful streets of Nice and join us on a 6-hour adventure where history, art, and local life come alive! We start at Place Masséna, the city’s buzzing centre, where old-world charm meets modern energy. Snap some photos, soak in the lively vibe, and get ready to explore the storey of Nice from every angle.
Next, dive into the Old Town, where vibrant street art, quirky design, and open coastal spaces show off Nice’s creative, contemporary side. Then it’s time for the Old Market, a sensory feast of fresh fruits, local specialities, spices, and the unmistakable smell of warm Socca — the city’s famous chickpea pancake!
We’ll wander past stunning palaces and ornate facades during Love on the Baroques, learning how Nice flaunted 17th-century luxury. Step inside historic churches and sunlit squares, peek into hidden chapels, and discover the lively cafés where locals sip espresso and watch the world go by.
But it’s not all picturesque streets! In Crime and… Escapes, hear about the scandals, intrigues, and mischief that have bubbled behind the shutters and grand facades of this seemingly serene city.
Finally, we’ll lift off to Castle Hill for a stunning panoramic view of Nice, the Mediterranean, and terracotta rooftops. Don’t worry about the climb — the lift makes it easy… unless it’s out of service, then you’ll get a little adventure along the way!
By the end of the tour, you’ll have tasted, seen, and heard the stories that make Nice one of the most fascinating cities on the French Riviera. Join us and see Nice like a local — colourful, lively, and full of surprises!
