This was a wonderful food tour! Our guide was Vanessa and she did a fantastic job. We had plenty to eat, learned a lot of history about Nice, and enjoyed an afternoon meeting new people. I highly recommend this tour!
Our guide was very knowledgeable of the history of the region and did an excellent job of weaving that history in with the food we experienced.
Rachel was excellent! I enjoyed learning tips about the local restaurants in the area, history, and trying the different foods and wines. Everything was delicious!
There were 5 stops and the amount of food did not equal a full meal. Over priced. Disappointing. The guide was sweet and nice but walked too fast, did not explain the itinerary well. I am baffled that this was €99. So disappointing
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear you left disappointed. Our tour includes 5 food stops that together are intended to make up a full meal, and this is the experience most of our guests have. We're also sorry if the pace or communication from the guide didn't meet your expectations. We'd appreciate it if you could contact us with more details so we can better understand what happened and address your concerns.
This was a wonderful way to experience Old Nice, and was worth the cost. We explored shops and areas we would have otherwise missed and despite the heatwave, our tour guide was happy to bring us around and was very informative of the area.
My wife and I have just come back from an 8 day touring holiday to Scily. This was our first experience of Riviera Travel and we were most impressed. Our holiday rep Paul Temple was superb, always super helpful and a real credit to the firm. Also our driver Michele was so good, always on time and so polite and caring, plus his skill in driving was clear to see. Our local guides were also excellent and really brought our trips to life. Well done everyone!
Elea was a great guide and took us to taste lots of fun regional foods. Our favorites were Socca and Tourte de Blettes.
Rachel was a fantastic guide, very friendly & knowledgeable! We enjoyed our food tour very much. It was just the right amount of food. Great way to sample the tastes of Nice!
Isabelle was a great guide. She was very informative of all the foods we were eating. We were definitely stuffed by the end of the tour. Would highly recommend.
We enjoyed our walking tour with Rachel today. She was very informative and brought us to excellent places for food and wine tasting.
