It was excellent except the fact the starting time was mentioned 10 am but the bus actually came at 11 am. No one informed us in advance that the starting time is different in winter, nor was it written anywhere on any of the guides. There were also other passengers waiting with us at the meeting point from 10 am. Apart from that experience, we loved the tour. Would highly recommend. Thanks

This was a phenomenal experience! Kent made an effort to ensure we all felt supported and encouraged, especially if we didn’t feel entirely confident on the electric bikes. The bikes were well maintained and easy to use. The routes we took were incredible. I’ll be remembering this one for a long time yet.

Chris was a top notch guide. I highly recommend that you take this tour. You learn a lot about the old town, its history, where to eat, etc. After taking this tour I want to return to Nice and experience the city more fully.

Amazing tour, our guide Daniel was super knowledgeable and just the nicest guy!! The views and scenery were incredible on the stops. Highly recommend!!

It was very beautiful journey. I saw Nice in a new way.
