We have a new friend for life with Natalia!!! This may have been my favorite tour of a 2 week trip. Okay, yes I like to eat and this was a tasting tour, but we got the best treats along the way. Natalia is charming, easy to talk to and we definitely formed a bond. She showed us all around Vieux Nice so that we were comfortable knowing our way around for days after the tour. She pointed out the best food stops, restaurants and shops and remained available after the tour if we needed anything. She is so lovely and she made us fall even more in love with Nice and its spirit and the joie de vivre !

We booked a food kickstarter tour of Nice that included 6 food tastings. We expected this to be like other WithLocals food tours where we would walk & talk, stop to eat, walk & talk, eat, etc. Unfortunately that did not happen. While Karin was a pleasant and informative guide, we only stopped for food once 1.5 hours into our 2 hour tour. When I pointed out that we were not getting what we had paid for, Karin said the company writes the description but that is not the tour she does. Lesson learned is to always confirm the tour specifics with the guide. We complained to WithLocals and got a credit and we learned a lot about Nice (which was helpful) but we were disappointed since we did not get the experience that we expected. Pleasant guide, but not the tour we booked

My family and I booked a culinary tour with Natalia during our 4-day trip to Nice. We really really enjoyed our time with her! She was knowledgeable about Nice, super friendly, and organized. She answered our questions about the history of the area and gave us great recommendations for things to see on our next visit. We got to sample delicious local food and she was very accommodating of our dietary restrictions (no alcohol, pork, or shellfish). My parents are still raving about the tour. My only regret is not booking the tour earlier during our stay so don’t make the mistake I did. Book with Natalia and do it early on during your stay. You must book with Natalia!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Natalia. It seemed like we have known her for a while . She was very sweet, friendly and personable, making our tour enjoyable. Her knowledge of the city enhanced our visit. She provided fascinating insights into the local history , culture and hidden gems we would never discovered on our own. The tour also introduced us to local foods each with history behind them.
If you’re looking for a memorable way to experience Nice, I highly recommend booking a tour with Natalia ! Walking and Culinary tours

We really enjoyed our food tour with Natalia. We caught the tail end of a storm and Natalia kindly waited with us for 45 minutes for the torrential rain to stop before starting the tour. She was able to answer our many questions about Nice and sent us additional information afterwards. We made 4 food stops and tried a number of dishes very local to Nice that we never would have tried on our own. We thoroughly enjoyed, thank you very much Natalia Interesting tour with lovely guide

Our family of four had a good tour with a lovely guide Natalia in Nice.
She was very good at showing us around the Old town and helping us with street and local food. Food was good and plenty as was the drink. She spoke perfectly good English and we shared many stories. We decided to adopt her and her family she was so gracious!Nice street food with Natalia

We did our tour the day we landed from the US and met Natalia a couple hours later. Despite being jet lagged she was very friendly and helpful as we made our way around the city trying all sorts of delicious food. She also gave us plenty of recommendations of other places to go during our stay.
I would like to note that we went on a Monday when a lot of things are typically closed, however this did not deter or seem to take away from Natalia's plan at all. Highly recommend!Great intro of culinary options in Nice

We've done food/wine walking tours in many cities and this one was not what we expected. We booked the tour on a Monday simply because it was our first day in Nice, and food tours are a fun way to get familiar with the city on the first day. However, when we met up with Sara she was repeatedly telling us everything is closed on Mondays, she doesn't normally do tours on Mondays, and we wouldn't get to go to the best places. Given this is a private tour, I would've expected some outreach when we booked to advise that we select a different day of the week - we would have happily rearranged our plans. But honestly, the food we tasted was great and we wouldn't have known any different if Sara didn't keep telling us it "wasn't the best". I appreciate she was trying to be honest, but it was just a strange experience when you pay to enjoy the local food and culture, but the guide is repeatedly telling you she doesn't really like the places she's taking you to. It also seemed Sara was behind schedule so we were walking very fast through the city just going from point A to point B instead of stopping to learn about the history. When we tried the food she didn't really have much to tell us about it - it felt like we just paid her to order for us and not much else. It didn't seem like she was all that knowledgeable about the food or the city. Sara did give us great recommendations to check out during our stay and was very friendly and pleasant, but compared to similar tours we've done in other cities this one was really lacking and not worth the price. Not What We Expected (Don't Book Mondays)

We met up with Natalia on the morning of our first day in Nice. The meeting location was very easy to find and she was prompt on messaging to find each other. We did a tour of Old Nice which we have now been back to three times to scope out some of the best items that she recommended.
We then went on a walk up to the castle so got a lot of the history of the area and there’s a playground up there that the kids played at while we got some more recommendations of local things to do. We loved getting this insider view of the city. Have already recommended WithLocals tours to family and friends.Family friendly tour! Great time!

Do not hestitate, book Natalia! She is very friendly and accommodating to her audience. We were travelling with 3 kids, and tours with lots of story telling and historical facts do not really work with children. No problem for Natalia, she kept it digestible, she added food stops and made her stories and stops interesting for our kids. They loved it and and so did we! Thanks Natalia Amazing host!

Our three hours with her went by quickly and she provided so much information about the city...it made the rest of our day so easy. Historical information, shopping recommendations, dining advice, sites, she was just wonderful. Merci Natalia!!Perfect day in Nice

We had the pleasure of experiencing a relaxed and cozy tour of Nice's city center with Guido. She not only showed us the most beautiful spots in the city but also always responded to our questions and shared many interesting stories about the local shops. The visit to the Castle Hill was particularly impressive, where we learned quite a bit about the history of Nice. We would have loved to hear even more information during this part of the tour, but overall, it was a wonderful time. Guido is a highly recommended tour guide who impresses with her friendly and knowledgeable manner. We can only warmly recommend this tour!Wonderful Tourbin Nice with Natalia

Natalia provided the perfect introduction to Nice. It seemed like just a relaxed stroll because she was so friendly and engaging. Without realising it we’d covered a lot and learned even more. Her clear love of Nice and commitment to it has us now feeling the same. The fact that she is from another continent/hemisphere provides an even better perspective to get a real insider experience for a visitor.
