Guidekin's take

Morning markets and Old Nice streets with ten tastings: socca, pissaladière, a twist on salade niçoise, olive oil, market cheese and charcuterie, ice cream and local wine.

A private version is sold as an option; the menu shifts with the season, and dietary needs must be flagged in advance. 4.93 from 116 reviews for 3h.

Best for: Shared market walk, ten tastings and wine at €98 per person; English only, private upgrade for your party at its own rate. 4.93 from 116 reviews. Food Tours comparison

Trade-off: English only; no pickup; private option priced separately.

Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Nice, eat like a local as your expert guide leads you through bustling morning markets, historic old streets and local bars and restaurants as you sample sun soaked produce of Provence. We offers you the best bites in a city where the land meets the sea and France meets Italy from street food, to market nibbles, restaurants and wine bars. Learn about the southern way of life, uncover the fascinating history of Nice’s Old Town and taste some iconic and lesser known dishes from the south of France.
