This 1.5-hour tour is designed to give you a comprehensive yet relaxed view of Nice’s most famous sights. We loved how the electric TukTuk glided smoothly through narrow streets, offering a vantage point that’s both personal and unobstructed.

Expect to cover the must-see sights like the Old Town (Vieux Nice) with its colorful markets and winding alleys, and the Promenade des Anglais with its sweeping sea views.
