The most famous promenade of Nice !
True symbols of Nice and the French Riviera - you'll find them everywhere! From postcards to chocolate boxes, to the real chairs all along the Promenade, since the 20th century!
An emblematic monument about Nice's history - it was placed on the Promenade in 2010 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Nice's attachment to France. Yes, Nice hasn't always been French!
After New York, Paris, Colmar and Tokyo, since 2014 Nice owns its own Statue of Liberty. Its size is small, but its authenticity is real. It's one of many training statues used by the famous Bartholdi, creator of the New York statue!
Typical one-storey cottages with roof terraces - they used to be a popular place for British winter visitors to stroll.
Renowned for having been the world's first flower market, today Cours Saleya is home to the local marketplace. Try local products such as Socca, pissaladière, pan bagnat... it's the perfect place for a foodie!
This stunning property, which is now a government building, used to be the residence of the town's former lords.
This is the heart of the old town - Here you'll find numerous "trompe l'œil", the city's best ice-cream vendor, and St. Réparate’s Cathedral.
This charming religious building is the first manifestation of Piedmontese Baroque in Nice... And it's got a bar inside!
An emblematic spot that overlooks the Bay of Angels - here you'll have the opportunity to take the best holiday photographs!

Elena was the best tour guide! She was super knowledgeable on the history of the area and beyond friendly. My fiancé and I were the only people booked on the tour and it felt like we were just exploring with an old friend. Would recommend to anyone visiting!
Nicholas was a great tour guide. We enjoyed our walking tour of Nice. It was a great way to get a taste of this beautiful city.
Our Guide Nicolas was terrific. so informative and answered all questions. Gave a wonderful tour and a surprise snack at the end . Thank you Nichloas
Tessa was fabulous, had a lot of fun facts on the history of Nice, choose some great places to stop for photos and had some local delicacies to taste. Overall great experience!
We enjoyed the tour - especially Castle Hill. Tessa was friendly, patient and willing to take our photos. 😊 we covered a lot of area in the short time.
My guide, Tessa, took me to most amazing places in Nice. The views were outstanding and the beauty, breathtaking. Tessa is native of Nice snd took the time to tell story of this fabulous ville from the local perspective, explaining the hidden behind every corner. Did you know that in the old Nice, property taxes depended on the number of windows in your real estate? No wonder that there are quite s few buildings without windows. The owners decided to paint windows on the walls as if murals.
Visited Belles castle a couple of weeks ago. We decided to book in for the tour. Carol was our tour guide she was very knowledgeable and the whole experience was very well put across. I would fully recommend this tour
Helena, very pleasant and cultured guide. Expensive service for the content of the visit. Time wasted because bilingual visit (not planned)
Hello and thank you for your thoughtful review :) We are sure Elena will be very happy! Our service is throughly delivered in order to offer the best possible experience - you even got to try two different local food tastings for free :) Moreover, our guides are experienced and multilingual, so that the tours can be held in both English (international language) and French (local language), in order to accommodate every visitor :) When welcoming visitors from different nationalities on a PUBLIC (not private) tour, going bilingual is pretty common for any provider :) We hope to see you soon in Nice! Best wishes
I went on Nice walking tour organised by "Mobilboard" & the guide was "Elena". I really had a great time! Elena was so fun, warm & informative, while Mobilboard arranged a walk to places I haven't seen in my earlier tours.
Thank you so much Mai for your beautiful review! We are so happy that you had a great experience with us and with Elena as your guide :) Hope to see you again soon!
