Overview

Guidekin summary

Nice from the land and then the sea: a guided ride through the city in a pedicab with a professional driver, then a boat along the Promenade des Anglais towards Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Private for your party with pickup, audio guide and fees included, alcohol excluded, and both parts are wheelchair accessible. 4.89 from 66 reviews for 3h.

From the guide

The Bike & Boat is a formula designed to allow you to visit Nice and its surroundings on land and at sea.
It consists of two experiences: the first begins with a 1-hour guided tour of the city of Nice aboard a modern pedicab driven by a professional guide.
The Cyclo is the best way to visit Nice, learn about its monuments, its history, its anecdotes and its cultural richness.

The second experience: On board a boat you will discover the Promenade des Anglais, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Villefranche-sur-Mer, during a private tourist cruise along the coast.
You'll see coastal towns, lush landscapes and millionaires' villas from the sparkling waters of the French Riviera.
During this cruise you can swim, fish or taste good French champagne.
Back on the port, your pilot will take you to your hotel after you have had an experience that will remain engraved in you forever :)
