Good tour of Nice, I’d recommend it even though at times I found it a bit too wordy. It’s worth downloading the app and content ahead of time as they suggest. Watch out for the message from the operator after the purchase containing the activation link, it’s easy to miss. The view at the end is well worth the climb!
We are delighted that you enjoyed your walk around Nice with our audio guide. The view at the end is definitely a well-earned reward!

If you’re only in Nice for a short time, do this first. It gives you the lay of the land and some cool stories. After that you know where to go back to. Just remember: cobblestones = sneakers!
Excellent advice about trainers — it's not easy to walk around the Old Town in sandals 😅 Thank you for your kind words! We're glad the tour helped you get your bearings. If you're visiting other cities soon, check out our other audio guides — they're built on the same model: relaxed, full of stories, and easy to follow.
It was really hot when we went so we took lots of breaks. There’s shade here and there but bring water. And sunglasses. And maybe don’t wear black like I did
Good advice — black clothing and blazing sun — not an easy combination! 😅 We are glad that you still managed to enjoy the trip. Breaks, shade and drinking water definitely help turn a hot day into a great excursion.
The audio guide for Nice was great, it really improved my visit. I loved the stories about the history of the city, from the Promenade des Anglais to the Vieux Nice. It also gave useful tips, such as which streets to avoid during peak hours and where to find the best views for photos. I found it especially interesting to learn about the old palaces and the famous ones that once lived here. The rhythm of the audio guide was perfect, allowing me to enjoy the city without rush.

Very disappointed!!!! After booking the guided tour (€5) Cannot access the application. So I called to get a little more explanation. I received a new link that gave me access. Except that you had to repay €5.99 to open the application!!! So I gave up, and lost 5€ 😡
