Aline was fabulous! So knowledgeable and such an amazing tour guide!. She is very passionate about her country and adapts well to any group! Thankyou for all the hard work and effort you put in to making our tour one we will always remember!
We had an amazing food tour in Nice today with our guide, Sofia, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Sofia was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the history, culture, and food of Nice. She made every stop interesting by sharing local stories and explaining the traditions behind each dish. We discovered some truly amazing local food that we probably never would have found on our own. Every tasting was delicious, authentic, and carefully selected. The tour felt very genuine, personal, and well-paced, giving us a real appreciation for the city’s culinary heritage. If you’re visiting Nice and want to experience the city through its food and culture, I highly recommend this tour—and if you have the chance to go with Sofia, even better. Thank you for such a memorable experience!
This was the perfect way to spend my first full day in Nice! The tour guide, Lara, was so friendly, knowledgeable and excited about telling the group the history of her city, as well as all of the food specialties that make it unique! She took us through the market, setting up tastings along the way of so many things - olives, sundried tomatoes, melon, cheeses, salami! After the market we went into several stores to continue tastings - chocolate, olive oils, truffles! At the end, we took the lift to the top of castle hill and had a picnic with even more snacks she picked up along the way! Highly recommend!
Sarah was great , very informative , attractive, and knowledgeable. We learn so much .
Excellent introduction to Nice food and market area. Leisurely stroll tasting local foods in the old town market area. Our guide, Aline, provided us with excellent information about the history and food of the area. We finished our day with a picnic overlooking Nice from the park above the city.
One of the best food tours we have ever experienced! Numerous food tastings of all the local specialties. Generous amounts. Local delicious wines. Small group and a fabulous informative tour guide, Aliene. The picnic at the end in castle hill was fun, different and personal with all of our new friends from the tour. Highly recommend, not to be missed.
Most of the tour was conducted in the central market, plenty of samples, but a crowded place. Lots of walking!
Shared enthusiasm for this wonderful city - It's history and current contributions to the world.
Our tour guide Sarah was knowledgeable and pleasant and provided a wonderful experience. I loved that we got a good dose of cultural info in with all the food facts. Ending with a picnic was a treat!
Sarah lead the group on a tasty, exciting adventure through Old Town Nice ending at the waterfall. Her knowledge and passion for the city shined through. A highlight of our trip.
