It runs at a low per person price with a local guide; bring your own water, and expect stairs on the climb to the viewpoint. 4.88 from 1495 reviews for 2h 15m. **Old town on foot?:** Choose the French option: Old Nice, pissaladière and Castle Hill at €29 per person for 2h 15m; stairs, bring water. 4.88 from 1495 reviews. Trade-off: French option at this price; stairs; bring water.
