Diana was a delightful host on our first trip to Nice. She took the time to take us to the highlights of the city and spend time answering all of our questions about the city and local culture. She even went the extra mile in recommending some cool restaurants and making reservations for us since we weren’t native French speaking guests. We really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you Diana!Delighted with Diana!

We had a nice time with Karin as she is local and was able to walk us to several areas in Nice and walk to the Castle was excellent. She recommended the local restaurants and other areas locals frequent. She also took a lot of photos and gave us extra time and dropped us at the hotel via the tram.

Dina is a great guide. She arrived on time and and the walk was at a good pace. She took us to a roof top bar for a grand view of the old town and we walked the streets where she gave explanations of the origin and growth of Nice which was very interesting. She also gave us insight into to living and working in Nice and walking in the mountains. We really enjoyed the walk and highly recommend Diana as a guide.Wonderful insight to Nice with great guide

As a solo traveler, I appreciated that Natalia curated the tour to include spots that she gathered from our conversations I would enjoy (non-touristy gift shops, great local cuisine, and outdoor parks). Natalia was knowledgeable about the city, open to questions, and overall an amazing tour guide. I would recommend booking with Natalia for a private tour if you are visiting Nice -- our tour enhanced the activities I did for the remainder of my trip!Like a walk with a friend

The guided visit to Niece by Natalia was interesting, enjoyable and memorable. Natalia did an excellent job pointing out the highlights of the city, and connecting them to history and local traditions in a way that was pleasant and easy to follow. The three-hour visit flowed seamlessly and featured stops at tasty eateries off the beaten path. Natalia is a great hostess. She was punctual and highly professional. Outstanding guide in Niece.

We had a great afternoon touring the highlights of Nice with Sara. We went from Place Massena through the Cours Saleya market and Old Town up Castle Hill for amazing views and down to the port and Place Garibaldi. Sara was pleasant and informative. She sent dining and shopping suggestions after our tour. We enjoyed our time with Sara and were very pleased with the tour.Nice Highlights

My husband and I had already been in Nice for almost a week when we met Sara for our tour. We we had previously seen many of the regular “touristy” places, we requested that she show us restaurants, bars, parks, streets, etc., that were “off the beaten path” — Sara did not disappoint! As we are older seniors, Sara took plenty of time, walking us slowly up the mountain on a back path that didn’t involve so many stairs. She pointed out small squares, bars and restaurants and even a couple of places where one can hear live music! At the end of the tour, she left us at a tiny Filipino restaurant where the food was out of this world! Since our tour, Sara has kindly taken the time to send me info on other places she thinks we will enjoy which is very much appreciated. If you want a tour that is thorough and tailored to your liking, Sara is your person!Lovely tour with a lovely guide!!

We have had great experiences in other cities with these type of local tours. This one lacked that personalization - the feeling of being with a true insider local. I felt like most of the information would have been easy to just read about or learn from an automated audio tour (at 1/10th the price you can download from other apps). She was very nice, but also seemed a little uneasy and unsure of herself - made it a little awkward at times. This is probably a value proposition - what you get for what you pay for - 3 hours for $180 usd for what we got….definitely not value and wouldn’t think twice about skipping this next time.

We booked a guided tour for 13 persons with Diana. The tour was planned for 13 oktober. First we had a delay for one hour on our flight, and then another delay for three hours. Because of the situation we have cancelled the tour, we could not arrive on time by Diana.
All the time we did have good contact with Diana and she gives us a good information about Nice. I am sure that if the tour had taken place, it would have been wonderfull with her!
It's a pity that we have payed all the amount for 13 persons, and we did not get a part of the money back....

We are a family of four and booked this tour for our day trip in Nice. Marie was an excellent host of this beautiful city, very friendly, and spoke great English (and was even willing to help us practise a bit of our French, which we really appreciated!). We loved how knowledgeable she was about the wide variety of sites and history of the city, and she gave great recommendations for restaurants and things to do after our tour ended. Absolutely worth every penny for a private tour. C'est top! 👍
Merci beaucoup, Marie!Excellent tour!

She escorted on a lovely walking tour of Old Nice, the English walk, the ruins (with spectacular views of the bay and the harbor), she provided local color to the history of Nice, we treated us to some foods we would not have experienced if not for her. 5 full stars!It was perfect!

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 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
