What to expect
You'll move through the Old Town at a relaxed pace, stopping at 4–5 spots where your guide has established relationships with owners. Expect to stand while tasting at bars and small restaurants—it's casual, not formal. Each stop introduces a different speciality paired with local wine or aperitif. Your guide will explain the story behind each dish and why it matters to Nice's identity. The evening fills with the actual rhythm of the neighbourhood: locals finishing work, bars filling up, kitchen smells drifting into streets.
