Guide was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating for when we requested him to change our pick up time. He gave us good information about the parts of Nice we needed to know. Recommend it for a quick tour of old town nice. The only con is that the ride was a bit uncomfortable for 3 people, but we managed.
