Lara was knowledgeable and very pleasant. We appreciated that it was a small group - we were only 4. We would recommend her.

We had Carmela as our tour guide for our Nice walking your and it was AMAZING! We still talk about this tour specifically. Carmela is such a great tour guide and shared so much great information, stories, and history while we were exploring the area. We felt like we have known her forever and it felt very personal (which is rare in our experience for tours like this). She kept us interested the entire three hours and made the experience so fun. We wish she could have been our tour guide for our whole trip!! Can’t recommend her or this tour enough.

What a wonderful tour thanks to our amazing guide Carmela! Carmela was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic day in Nice Old Town and Castle Hill. We learnt so much about the history, culture and food of Nice in 4 hours and Carmela was patient, engaging and very kindly offered some recommendations for foods to try and things to do! We absolutely loved this tour and would highly recommend to anyone visiting Nice!
