Marina accompanied us on an incredible tour of the city. She captured the attention of the whole family by sharing historical anecdotes and intriguing our children. She proved to be knowledgeable and friendly, allowing us to experience life in Nice from all angles, advising us and describing the typical dishes of Nice. Highly recommended for family tours.
Grazie mille ! Sono contenta di sapere che il tour sia piaciuto a tutta la famiglia! Mi ha fatto piacere incontrarvi e condividere le mie conoscenze con voi adulti e i bimbi !
We booked and paid in full for this tour got to the pick up spot on time. Waited for 30 minutes tried to contact the tour operator twice only to have to go through viator and Tripadvisor to discover that the tour operator apparently had no tour guides available and therefore just blew us off. No response to our attempts to contact them. No apologies. No cancellation just didn’t show up severely disappointed do not recommend this company

We had an amazing experience exploring the French Riviera with the Marina! We traveled with family and friends, and she guided us through various cities, always with a lot of sympathy and knowledge. Every detail was carefully explained, making the trip even more special. In addition to deep understanding of the region’s history and culture, Marina taught how to customize the route according to our interests, ensuring that we made the most of each stop.
