🌊 Tour Guides in Nice
Pearl of the French Riviera - azure seas and Belle Époque elegance
About Nice
Nice is the jewel of the Côte d'Azur, a sun-drenched Mediterranean city where Italian influence meets French sophistication. The iconic Promenade des Anglais curves along the turquoise Baie des Anges, while the Old Town's ochre buildings and narrow streets evoke centuries of history. From Belle Époque architecture to vibrant markets and world-class art museums, Nice offers timeless Riviera charm. Pair this city with Castle Hill and the wider France guide.
While French is the main language, English-speaking guides help navigate the city's layered history and unlock authentic experiences from markets to hidden viewpoints.
