Overview
Enjoy a 3-hour historical tour through the labyrinth of narrow streets in the Old Town of Nice. Your local guide will take you to the heart of Nice's oldest and liveliest district, with its thousand Mediterranean scents. He'll explain the 2,500-year history of the County of Nice and its evolution from Greek foundation to the present day, through its medieval period under the House of Savoy, then the Belle Epoque since annexation to France.
