Nice: Old Town & Promenade des Anglais Guided Walking Tour｜France

Discover two of Nice's most iconic areas on a guided walking tour led by a local guide. This experience connects the medieval Old Town to the famous seafront promenade, offering a complete overview of the city's history, architecture, and culture.
Start at Place Masséna, the central square of Nice, and enter the Vieux Nice through its narrow cobblestone streets. Your guide walks you through the Cours Saleya market, past baroque churches including the Cathédrale Sainte-Réparate, and along the historic Rue Droite. Learn how Nice evolved from a Greek trading post to a territory of the House of Savoy, then an Italian-governed city, before becoming part of France in 1860.
Explore the hidden squares and pastel-colored facades of the Old Town. Your guide points out the Palais Lascaris, the Opéra de Nice, and the stories behind the street names and local traditions.
Continue along the Promenade des Anglais, the seafront boulevard originally built in the 1820s by the English winter colony. Your guide explains the arrival of European aristocracy, the construction of the grand Belle Époque hotels, and the development of Nice as a destination on the French Riviera.
The tour ends near the Jardin Albert 1er. Your guide provides restaurant and activity recommendations before you continue exploring at your own pace.
