Nice City Sightseeing Small Group Tour

Nice, France

Discover the picture-postcard city of Nice on the French Riviera on a small group morning or afternoon sightseeing tour by minivan. Enjoy panoramic views over Nice from Mt. Boron, visit the Castel Park, and see the famous Promenade des Anglais.

Start your Nice City Sightseeing Tour with a visit to Castel Park overlooking the Bay of Angels and Old Town, site of the trading town founded by the Greeks 2,700 years ago.

Immerse yourself in Nice's history on Place Garibaldi in the Old Town and marvel at the modern New Town as you stroll along along Promenade des Arts, home to the Modern Art Museum, Sosno's library and the Acropolis center.

Arriving in Cimiez, winter home of Queen Victoria, you will have the opportunity to visit the Matisse Museum (closed on Tuesday) or walk among the olive tree gardens and the 15th century garden of the Franciscan Monastery. You will also visit the extraordinary Russian Cathedral, the most beautiful outside of Russia.

Return by Promenade des Anglais passing its famous landmarks and "Belle Epoque" buildings. End your Nice City Sightseeing Tour with a visit to the flower market in Cours Saleya.

Minivans hold a maximum of eight passengers, and a small group tour is the perfect way to see all that Nice has to offer.

The tour was wonderful, the guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative with the local history. It was a tour not to be missed if you're in Nice. I highly recommend it. Gary Molino Los Angeles, California USA

Booked this tour based on the excellent reviews and pleased to say it didn't disappoint. Our guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The onlyslight draw back was that there was an Brazilian couple who sat at the front of the bus which meant they had the lion share of the guides attention and as a result the rest of the english speaking guests were sometimes neglected. Overall I would definately recommend this thou.

Nice tour in minibus done by a lovely Latvian lady who had good but not perfect English! She was a good little driver too. I'm a slow walker due to a bad knee plus because it was towards the end of my holiday I was very tired and she handed it tackfuly & patiently. The highlights were the viewpoint over Nice City & airport whose runway starts & ends in the sea. The other highlight to me was the Russian Orthrodox Church, get to see inside if you visit. The Franciscan Musemn & Roman Ruins I could have taken or left. Reckon its not the cheapest way to see Nice since there is a tourist train which possibly stops off at the same sights. not sure. However if you want a more personalised door to door service its worth it though you might get it cheaper booking last minute in Nice from your hotel when you arrive. Sorry. .

We had a lovely tour. the driver was very informative and pleasant. It was a good idea to do this on our first day, so that we had a feel for the city and could easily find our way around. Loved Nice and will be going back soon and will definatly be using Viator again.

The tour guide started off by including everyone in his commentary. By the end of the tour he seemed to have directed all his attention to a young girl and her aunt. They sat beside him in the van and gave them a personal commentary of the different sites towards the end of the trip. For us in the back seats, we were excluded. He appeared to be infatuated with them and gave them his full attention. I think that Viator should be more vigilent when hiring tour guides who can be impartial and inclusive. As a result, I will elect to go with a local company in the future rather than booking with Viator.

This is an excellent choice for your first day in Nice. Gives you an opportunity to know how the city is laid out and the old region from the new. I do believe we missed a few of the details as we had a guide in training.

The tour Guide was outstanding! Just the right amount of time to see all the great views and other highlights of Nice.

Review by: Marlyn Y, Canada	September 2009
Fantastic! We did this the day we arrived, what a great way to alleviate jet lag! Our guide was very hot though, he should have been allowed to wear short formal trousers and not heavy pants. Awesome trip!

We got lucky because we got a private tour. There are a lot of points of interest in Nice. We had a car but you don't know what to visit. So, take a tour in the morning.

Basically driven in people carrier to several sites and given time, usually 20 mins, to explore. Okay as a 'familiarisation' - a walking tour would not be possible, given the distance between the stops. Guide was pleasant and gave some information in good English, but remained with vehicle during stops.

We were in Nice only for 1 day and this was a great way of seeing highlights of Nice. Our driver was very friendly, took much care to address our interests and showed us sights that were most beautiful. Our van was air conditioned which was a great plus in a hot climate such as the Riviera.

Review by: Barbara S, United States of America	July 2008
Our tour guide jumped out of the van with a big smile and greeted us in French. When he realized only one of us spoke French, he jumped back in and did it over in English for my companion. We were off to a good start for a fabulous tour. He was friendly but took his charge seriously to teach us all he could about Nice and it's history. It really was fascinating. We were especially impressed that the tour had only two of us that morning for some reason and they performed right on time, essentially giving us a private tour. It could not have been better.
