Imagine ringing in 2026 with a vibrant international crowd in the heart of Nice, dancing from one lively bar to the next. For just $57 per person, this 5-hour NYE celebration offers a combination of free entry to four top bars and clubs, free shots, and special drink deals. Led by charismatic hosts, you’ll enjoy a night packed with fun games, professional photos, and a chance to mingle with people from around the world.
What we love about this tour are the well-organized VIP entries that skip the lines—perfect for a night when every minute counts—and the atmosphere of genuine international camaraderie. We also appreciate the inclusion of free shots and a free drink (wine, beer, or mixer) which adds a layer of value to the ticket price.
A potential consideration is that the spaces are limited and selling fast, so if you’re serious about celebrating NYE in style, booking early is a must. This tour is best suited for nightlife enthusiasts, social butterflies, or anyone wanting a stress-free way to enjoy Nice’s top venues on New Year’s Eve.

What Makes This Tour Stand Out
If you’re after a fun, energetic way to celebrate New Year’s Eve in Nice, this experience hits the mark. It’s designed to create a sea of vibrant energy—think lively music, animated conversations, and a mix of locals and international visitors. At a reasonable price of $57 per person, you get a 5-hour night filled with exclusive access to some of Nice’s hottest bars and clubs, making this a great deal for those seeking both value and a memorable night.
One aspect we really appreciate is the organized VIP entrance. This means no waiting in lines—crucial when everyone else is trying to get into the same spots right at midnight. Plus, your ticket includes 3 free shots and a free drink, which we found to be a great way to kick off the festivities without breaking the bank. The inclusion of professional photos is a thoughtful touch, allowing you to remember this special night without hassling with your phone.
The tour’s global vibe is another highlight. The description mentions an eclectic crowd of international partygoers, which means you’ll be exchanging stories and maybe making friends from across the globe. It’s not just a bar hop; it’s an opportunity to connect with a diverse and lively crowd.
However, be aware that spaces are limited and disappearing fast. If you want to guarantee your spot, booking early is advisable. Also, since it’s a group event with a set schedule, travelers who prefer a more independent or flexible experience might find it a bit structured.
