Nice City Sightseeing Small Group Tour
Nice, France
Discover the picture-postcard city of Nice on the French Riviera on a small group sightseeing tour by minivan. Enjoy panoramic views over Nice from Mt. Boron and see the famous Promenade des Anglais.
Start your Nice City Sightseeing Tour with a visit to Mt. Boron and enjoy the views of overlooking the Bay of Angels and Nice Old Town. You'll see Castle Hill, site of the trading town founded by the Greeks 2,500 years ago.
Immerse yourself in Nice's history on Place Garibaldi in the Old Town and marvel at the modern New Town as you walk 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.
A great way to be introduced to the city. You receive information as you drive then you have a small amount of free time to explore a small area. Guide was most helpful and knowledgeable. I liked the small van with less than 7 people.

Great interesting guide
Review by: Lei W, May 2016
The tour was rather comfortable. The tour guide was very kind to allow me to bring my luggage on the van and give a ride to the airport directly after the tour. We had a good time driving around Nice and visiting each important view point to have panoramic view of Nice and surrounding areas. It was a gorgeous day. At the last part of the tour, the rose garden on top of the hill was really beautiful but some people actually missed it.

Tour guide wanted to show us Nice from the hilltops which was nice, but tour was supposed to take us to flower markets as well, which he suggested we could do in our own time, it was our last day so we wanted to see flower markets and asked to be dropped off there because that was what we were expecting and he wasn't happy with us, but I booked by what was planned not what he wanted to do

The driver took us to good views and told us a bit of history but I think 3 1/2 hours was a bit too long and he was a bit of a scary drive.

Victor was our tour guide. He spoke English, and was punctual and informative. Actually, he was same driver for the next tour we took, and we were pleased with both.

The hop on hop off bus was much better.
Review by: Kelly T, March 2015
This is a solid introduction to the city. We had bad weather, and unfortunately our tour guide did not speak the best English. However, she was super flexible and we ended up getting to go into the Matisse Museum, which was awesome.
Review by: Alan B, November 2014
we had a great tour guide and as we were the only couple on the tour our guide was able to spend value time with us and show us things which we may not have seen she gave a good description of everything and told us the history of various areas we went to

Review by: Helen W, May 2014
Really enjoyed this sightseeing tour and cannot give our guide enough praise, he was fantastic - Ralph I believe his name was. He was so informative and helpful, full of useful tips and made the tour really personal. We really enjoyed the panoramic viewing spots and as Nice is so big it was ideal to be taken to the different places by minibus then hop off to spend some free time exploring.
Review by: Lou M, February 2014
This tour shows you the main sights of Nice with great panoramic views, a tour of the old port and a visit to the Mosque. Also takes in a beautiful cathedral. A great way to get to know Nice in a hurry.
Again, very expensive for what you got. The tour guide was good - very nice and knowledgeable, but you definitely overcharged.

it was nothing to be complained about, only two of us in the group, driver willing to send us anywhere. superb experience.
Review by: Linda B, June 2012
This was my third visit to Nice, but I had never before gone past the "Old Town" part of Nice, where I always stay. I thoroughly enjoyed the morning tour, which included driving to up to Castel Park, which overlooks the Bay of Angels, visiting the Matisse Museum, seeing the Franciscan Monastery and its beautiful 15th century gardens,with olive trees and roses. We also drove past the beautiful Russian Cathedral. Wow! Overalll, a great introduction to Nice, and thoroughly recommended.

Excellent guide Andreas(not sure if correct spelling) He is very informative with very nice modulated voice and very clear command of the English language. Not boring, very fun to listen to.
Review by: Silvia H, January 2012
We loved it...what a amazing city..my hard to please 16yo son, is in love with NIce. Our great, super expressive, guide Silvia, was the cherry on top of the icing! It was a lovely, perfect day. I highly recommend the tour and her. Without the tour we wouldn't be able to see so many places(we didn't have a car). After it, we went to couple of places that she showed us...was just awesome!

Review by: Kim M, November 2010
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.
Review by: Charlene G, Canada, June 2010
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.
