It’s all a question of taste: are you more into markets, shopping, gastronomy or culture? The choice is yours. Then you can meet your greeter wherever you like, chat and visit. It’s free, of course, and you’ll learn an enormous amount about Nice. A personal and unusual way to discover Nice.

In Nice, it’s possible to go on a giant treasure hunt – for a birthday, event or any other occasion – in the heart of Old Nice.
