Full marks Chris for a fascinating tour which you led with enthusiasm and much knowledge as a Nice born guide. The route was great and your commentary was excellent. We saw and learned far more from you about Nice, its culture, history and present-day activities than we could have done from guide books. The pace was perfect, as was the timing, such as to get us to the firing of the castle canon at noon. You had lots of anecdotes which helped us to get so much from our brief stay in your wonderful city. The tasty samples of pissaladière made by your mother were very much appreciated. Very many thanks, we have no hesitation in recommending your tour to others.

Chris was a top notch guide. I highly recommend that you take this tour. You learn a lot about the old town, its history, where to eat, etc. After taking this tour I want to return to Nice and experience the city more fully.

Great way to start your Nice vacation. Chris is an amazing guide who is passionate and knowledgeable of the riveria. He also gives great recommendations on places to eat and see in the region.
