Good city tours fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 10 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.

“Excellent experience, Enzo, our tour guide was great, explaining everything in detail and making sure that the group stayed together”
Ride through Nice with an English-speaking guide on a comfortable seven-gear e-bike. Visit the Promenade des Anglais, Place Massena, Old Town, Place Garibaldi, the port, and Castle Hill, with time for stories, photos, and views.
“Spent a few days in Nice and on the Cote d’Axur and booked this e-bike tour on our first day- so glad we did. Bella was a great tour guide, the e-bikes were so easy to ride and we got to see so much more of Nice, some incredible views along with some interesting historical facts and some great tips on areas to visit. Would thoroughly recommend.”
Spend two hours with VinoLove Club tasting eight French wines from across the country. Guides such as Julia, Carlo, and Juliette explain regions, grapes, production, and tasting methods in English, with cheese and snacks served alongside the wines.
“Great class and learned a lot about wine. Fun with a large group but also with just family. Would do again.”
Ride a small-group e-bike tour through Nice with guides such as Francisco, Elena, Alex, and Enzo. You’ll follow the Promenade des Anglais, stop in Old Nice, climb Castle Hill with electric assistance, visit the port, and hear local stories in English or French.
“Tessa was a wonderful guide! She took us to many cool points all around the whole city, with breathtaking views. Friendly and knowledgeable, she gave us so much interesting history and information about the city.”
See Nice by private electric bike taxi in about 40 minutes, with hotel pickup in central Nice, live commentary, photos, and stops at Place Massena, Old Town, Sainte Reparate Cathedral, the Negresco, and the Promenade. Guides include Ali, Ludwig, Anatol, Reza, and Mehdi.
“This is a lovely way to see the city. The bike can weave in and out of the small streets and promenades, and stop wherever you want to take photos. We had a 40 minute ride which gave us a quick tour of all of the main areas. I should imagine a longer one would be more in-depth, but we enjoyed our tour very much and Anatol, our guide, was knowledgeable and lovely. Thank you, Anatol!”
Meet Julia at Chateau de Bellet for a small-group walk through the vines, a look at the modern wine cellar, and three local wines in a former chapel. The hilltop setting overlooks Nice, the Mediterranean, and the Alps. Plan your own transport to the winery.

“Had the best cycle tour through Nice with our guide Francisco. Learnt so much about Nice and saw some beautiful sights. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour - but Francisco saw this as an opportunity to show us even more then we could have ever anticipated. If you're looking for a way to explore Nice, this is it.”
