Nice walking tour - I really liked walking the streets of old town Nice. Nejib was very good at explaining the details of the old city. The highlight was going to the top of the plateau where the old fortress used to be. The views from up there were spectacular. The waterfall was impressive also.

Too much standing and listening. Couple opportunities to sit would have been welcome. - It was okay. It was too long and ended with an uphill viewpoint so we chose to leave. I liked the fact it was prepaid and we were a small group. Stopping at food stalls was a highlight because we tried a local treat we wouldn’t have known about.
