Additional Information

Le Vieux Nice, otherwise known as Old Nice, stands as the emblem of the city, strongly reflecting the Italian artistry and architecture, a symbol of the City’s tumultuous history that is still very much perceptible.

In this journey, you’ll uncover the endlessly fascinating history of Nice, a city that, judging by its outward appearance, bears little to no resemblance to other parts of France.

The tightly packed narrow lanes hailing from the medieval era at the heart of the Old City and its unique architecture drawn from various eras, from the Middle Ages up to the late 19th century, will astound you.

Characteristic Provençal markets and vintage stores are at your disposal for memorable shopping escapades. As you traverse the tour, you will accumulate a wealth of stories and trivia about the locals, their goods, and cuisine.

Great first evening in Nice - I always try to book a walking tour when visiting a new place in Europe - typically the evening I arrive so I get the lay of the land and stay up (avoid the temptation to fall asleep). As soon as I booked this tour, Marina let us know she would not be available, but she arranged for us to get a tour from Camilla. Camilla was amazing - so knowledgeable about local geography and history. Spending a couple of hours waking around town with Camilla was time we’ll spent and set us up for success for the remainder of our time in Nice.
