Overview

Guidekin summary

A long guided walk that strings together Place Masséna, the Cours Saleya market, the old town lanes and the climb up Castle Hill for the view over the Baie des Anges. Comfortable shoes matter, there are a few short climbs, and snacks are not included. 4.91 from 245 reviews for 2h 30m.

From the guide

NICE IDEAL TOURS offers you a very varied and complete circuit during which I will show you the jewels of Nice.

In this wonderful, picturesque and colorful place, with magnificent architecture, narrow cobbled streets, you will discover countless restaurants, squares, churches, museums, cafes, wine bars, ice cream parlors...

The beautiful Place Massena, the gardens and green spaces, the pedestrian zone, the Cours Saleya and the Promenade des Anglais will certainly not leave you indifferent. As they say, “Nissa la Bella” has incredible charm!

Still on foot, you will also enjoy breathtaking panoramic views from the top of the castle hill. The waterfall, the Promenade des Anglais, old Nice, the magnificent port and Mont Boron will be right before your eyes.

Duration: between 2h30 and 3h00, it all depends on the pace of the group.
