“The guided tour with Soni was fantastic. She’s so personable, friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Nice. I enjoyed how the tour takes you through Old Nice and up to Castle Hill to give you a great overview of the city and where to explore in more depth if you have time. I only had 2 days in Nice, so this was perfect.”
