Interesting tour through the old town with some excellent food! - We joined Leo for an interesting morning in the old town of Nice. Some good tastings and more than enough food to make for a very good lunch. Leo is a native of the town and gave us a lot of information about the food, local specialities and history.

visit that combines discovery and tastings - A huge THANK YOU to Rachel for her gastronomic visit that made us discover Nice from a different angle. Five equally captivating stops at each other ranging from aperitif to dessert in beautiful areas of Nice. Visiting this beautiful city while tasting its culinary specialties is a great idea to start your stay in Nice. Do not hesitate to ask Rachel Trip Tip, she will give you advice, she gladly shares good tips. Thank you for this pleasant time. Little Switzerland

You have got to try this tour! - We had no idea what to expect from this tour, but I’ll tell you it was wonderful! Thought we would get tiny little bits of tastings, but wow, it was much more than that! The food and the wine (offered at one shop) was outstanding and way more than little samples. And our guide Rachel, couldn’t have been more lovely. Highly recommend this tour!

Old Town Nice - If you’re staying in a town outside of Nice this food tour was well worth it. Our guide Rachel was an excellent host in every way you could hope for. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the food culture. It was evident that she had cultivated strong relationships with the shops and restaurants on the tour, and shared them willingly with us. Please do enjoy.

Local food and local knowledge - This tour was so much more than I was expecting. Lena, our guide, was so knowledgeable and friendly. It felt like we were visiting a friend who lives in a different city. The rest of the group were extremely friendly and chatty. It really did just feel like a group of friends. Not only do you get to enjoy local delicacies, but you learn a lot about the area and you see quite a lot of the city too. The walking was just the perfect amount for me and my partner, I would recommend and I would even do it again myself.

FIVE STARS PLUS - This was absolutely FANTASTIC! Highly recommended. We had the BEST guide you could ask for in Lena. Our tour group was very small so we were able to really get to know her, and Nice, in a way that we greatly appreciated. We were on a 10 day Mediterranean cruise and did this trip on our own to Nice and it was a complete highlight. We tasted some fabulous olive oils and infused balsamic vinegar, drank some local organic French wine (brought a bottle home with us!) ate the most delicious caramelized onion tart I've ever had, nibbled on the local socca, had a delicious sandwich and finally visited a French chocolatier called LAC. Thank you Lena! Both you and this tour were phenomenal.
