I was the only person signed up for the tour, so I was able to have a tour In French instead of in English. I was surprised that my guide, Najib, didn’t cancel but he said that he never cancels, no matter how many people are signed up. The tour lasted three hours with the last thirty minutes or so in a heavy rain. Najib was very pleasant and knowledgeable. I couldn’t’ have asked for a better guide! I appreciated all the historical information he provided.

Our guide was very personable, had good humor, had wonderful knowledge of Nice’s history, and welcomed any questions. Rather than cancel our history walking tour in the middle of the program due to rain, he offered to resume it in the afternoon when it did not rain. That made for an even longer and more informative tour.

Neijib had much knowledge about the history of Nice and communicated this in a very engaging way. He took a lot of pictures throughout the tour of our group, leaving us with lot of memorys and picture to look back on. Guiding us through the old town of Nice and giving us many tips for the rest of our stay, which among other things made us try seafood pasta at Mamma Mia (by reccomandation from him). This turned out to be the best meal during the whole stay! Probably wouldn’t have eaten here otherwise. Thank you once again Neijib!
