Our Nice tour was great fun for our family with lots of new, interesting and very tasty foods! Our guide Vanessa was very engaging, full of enthusiasm and extremely knowledgeable about the food and area. I would highly recommend taking this tour if you are in Nice.

Vanessa was our guide and she did an excellent job! Perfect mix of history, culture, and food! There were so many stops and every stop was delicious. She also gave tips for additional food and travel at the end. This was our first full day here, so it was the perfect way to get a feel for the city and Old Town. We also enjoyed getting to know the other people in the group.

Helloise was our guide and she was FANTASTIC. She was very easy to understand and extremely personable! We really enjoyed the food we were given but also the history behind the food and the city of Nice. Highly recommend this at the beginning of your trip if you are staying in Nice for a few days as it familiarizes you with some of the best parts of the city. Will recommend this to friends visiting the city.
We appreciate your feedback and support. It's always rewarding to hear that guests enjoyed their experience with us. Thank you again for choosing Secret Food Tours!
Vanessa did a fantastic job with our tour! Her enthusiasm for the town of Nice was enjoyable, and she explained the history and culture of the town and food. This was our first full day in Nice, and it was the perfect way to wander through the streets of Old Town and feel the history and local culture that has been there for hundreds of years. Vanessa has a great wealth of knowledge about the area and roots of the many foods. The daily market closes at 1 PM, and I only wish they were open until 3 or 4 PM so that after the tour we could have wandered through that area with time later, so make time to do this on your own! (The next day our family had a different tour of the Riviera so we missed it then as well.) We had multiple stops for different food items, wine and limoncello tastings, candy, and ice cream. It was very well-paced. The shopkeepers were all ready for our group at each stop, and the limoncello shop owner especially had a wonderful presentation. There was a magnificent cathedral next to our lunch stop that you could also see, which was an unexpected bonus. This was a super fun tour for our family - highly recommend!
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the mix of food, stories, and exploration throughout the experience. We look forward to hosting you again with Secret Food Tours.
It is a great experience but requires some walking. You will be introduced to truly local cuisines. You will also learn the history of the food and of Nice.
It's always a pleasure to hear from our guests. We're delighted that the tour left you with such positive memories. Thank you again for choosing Secret Food Tours!
We had an absolutely fantastic experience on this food tour! The amount of food far exceeded our expectations—we arrived hungry and left completely satisfied. Every stop offered delicious and authentic dishes, giving us a wonderful taste of the local cuisine. What truly made the tour exceptional, however, was our guide. Vanessa's knowledge and passion for the area's history, culture, and culinary traditions brought every stop to life. We learned so much about the origins of the dishes, local customs, and the historical significance behind the neighborhoods we visited. The stories and insights added a depth to the experience that went far beyond simply tasting great food. If you're looking for a tour that combines amazing food with fascinating cultural and historical context, this is it. Highly recommended!
