About this tour
A 90-minute guided walk through Nice's Old Town and Castle Hill, led by a local who unpacks the layers of architecture, street life and provençal character. You'll navigate narrow lanes lined with shuttered buildings, detour through the flower market's riotous stalls, and climb to the castle ruins for views across the Baie des Anges. A food tasting included.
Highlights

What to expect
Expect to move at an easy pace with frequent stops. Your guide will point out building details, street-level history, and the rhythm of daily life in the quarter. The route takes in squares where locals gather, market stalls piled with dahlias and roses, and the hike up to the castle—steep but not demanding. You'll taste something local (likely a pastry or regional product) en route. The walk suits all fitness levels, though there are stairs and uneven cobbles.
Good to know
Fully accessible for wheelchairs and prams. Bring comfortable walking shoes. The flower market is busiest mornings. Guide speaks English and French. Public transport nearby if you need to bail early.
