 Verified What a wonderful tour! We booked this tour very last minute and Nejib was so kind as to let us jump in. He treated us with kindness and made the history so interesting. There is no way I would have felt so informed on the city of Nice without this tour. It’s a great way to learn the city and get tips on where to go, what to eat, and anything you may want to know. As someone who has never been to Nice It was nice to have a local perspective! He was very informative and thorough. Highly recommended totally worth booking.

 Verified Nejib was an amazing tour guide! Very funny, kind, and flexible throughout the tour. It is incredibly hot in Nice these days, so I appreciated all the opportunities to take a break or stand in the shade. This is a great way to start your vacation to get an intro to Nice’s history and culture and orient yourself to all the main sights and areas of the city. Thank you, Nejib, for a wonderful morning!

 Verified Take this tour your first day in Nice!
This tour was an excellent introduction to Nice. Highly recommended for first-time visitors or individuals who just want to learn more. Nejib helped us understand the area's history and made sure we hit the high points such as the Place Masséna and Cours Saleya (famous flower market). His tour is both educational and entertaining. Following the tour, he sent guests recommendations on areas to explore both in Nice and the surrounding area, restaurants & local food, and cafés and sweets. Great tour!

  Tolle Nizza-Führung!
Wer schon mal mit einer Gruppe Siebzehnjähriger eine zweistündige Stadtführung gemacht hat, weiß einen guten Tourguide sehr zu schätzen 😉 Und was soll ich sagen: Nejib ist der Beste. Er hat es geschafft, uns an unserem ersten Tag in dieser wunderschönen Stadt einen super Einstieg zu ermöglichen, uns in den zwei Stunden extrem viel Wissenswertes zu vermitteln, und das auf eine total nette, lustige und interessante Art. Nicht nur die Lehrerinnen, sondern auch alle Schüler/innen waren begeistert - es war keine Minute langweilig. Und danach gab es noch viele Fotos für uns, außerdem eine Liste mit vielen guten Tipps für die nächsten Tage, und man konnte sich auch später noch mit Fragen an Nejib wenden. Was will man mehr? Auch unsere zweite Gruppe mit seinem Kollegen Chris war  begeistert von der Führung. Ich kann diese Stadtführung also zu 100% empfehlen!

  I booked myself and four friends a private tour with Nejib for a 40th birthday treat in Nice and it was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip!
Nejib was so knowledgeable, friendly and  hilarious- he had us laughing at many points during the tour! We toured down the promenade de Anglais and around the old town and its many historical points, ending up at the castle on the hill. The way Nejib brought the history to life was so engaging and animated and he was very accommodating with our stop offs at various points on the trip to taste the delicious food and drink on offer! He also took a ton of photos for us and gave us many recommendations for restaurants and bars- mamma mia and Fennochios was a fave!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting a tour of Nice! Thanks Nejib!
