My family and I have done both group and private tours in various countries with various operators. My husband and I booked our tour tour of Nice with our friends. Nejib, was one of the best! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Nice, as well as the local area pointing out the highlights of each area of the very vast city. He was entertaining and had wonderful recommendations on where to eat, what to do and see not only in Nice but also in the Cote d’ Azur. He also took a ton of photos which he shared. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Nejib.
