What to expect
Your guide collects you in a well-maintained vehicle and navigates the French Riviera's mix of ancient and modern. Expect stops at archaeological sites where Roman Nice once flourished, followed by scenic coastal drives offering views across the bay towards Monaco. You'll walk through the old quarter's narrow lanes and square, pause at the striking Orthodox cathedral, and explore upmarket neighbourhoods. The morning market visit (when open) gives you a taste of local commerce and regional produce. Throughout, your guide offers context and adjusts timing based on your interests—no rushing.
