Julia was absolutely wonderful. Really great stories and knowledge on the tour and fab wine tasting afterward. Would highly recommend!
Glad it was a fun and interesting tour for you, I enjoyed hosting the group as well!
Great wine and Nice tasting experience, try this to have a great introduction to history of Nice and to French wines culture.
Glad it was educational and entertaining for you!
Julia took our clients on the most incredible food tour through Nice and then on to an amazing tour and wine tasting at Chateau Bellet. She is incredibly knowledgeable of all aspects - history, architecture, food, wine! All 13 of us LOVED our experience. I will be recommending to friends and family and taking more clients next year!
From the moment we saw Julia and her red umbrella, we were in safe hands. She knows Nice so well and told us a lot of trivia. We knew about the wine tasting but didnt know food tasting was included and the snacks she served us to try were so tasty. She kept the group engaged and was an overall great guide. Highly recommended tour!
Our guide, Julia, was outstanding! Even though I was already pretty familiar with Nice before this tour, I learned so much about the city’s fascinating history, geography, and cuisine. The small group size was perfect for the narrow streets of Vieux Nice, and unlike some larger tours, did not leave me with the uncomfortable feeling that we were in everyone else’s way. The wines we tried were really unique and delicious; Julia did a great job of choosing wines that were unlike something we’d normally drink at home. I had a great time all around.
Julia was amazing. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area. She made sure the 5 of us were comfortable and engaged the entire time. She not only knows her history of the area, but was knowledgeable about wines. I had a lovely time. Rebecka Johnson
Very nice tour and very nice guide . Highly recommend because it provides some closed picture of charming nice. But the testing local wine was really unexpected for such tour. It was done on so good level ! One of guests celebrated burthday. 🍾and she opened bottle of shampagne.
Fantastic wine experience! Very friendly and knowledgeable wine expert Julia led me&my partner through the world of exciting Provence wines. Thanks to the wine expertise of Julia, we learned a lot during wine tasting session and now we know why Provence rose wines are that unique and special!
Thank you for the time to leave a review.
Julia was great! Book her tour, very informative about Nice! Wine at the end and added plus! She is a sommelier so she knows a lot about wines
