Hire a greeter

What is a greeter? Don’t panic, we’ll explain everything.

A greeter is someone who loves their town and wants to share their passion with others. They are not traditional tourist guides. There’s no such thing as a traditional cultural heritage tour! It’s a question of taste: are you more interested in markets, shopping, gastronomy or culture? The choice is yours. You can then meet your greeter wherever you like, chat and visit. It’s free, of course, and you’ll learn a lot about Nice. A personal and unusual way to discover Nice.
