About this experience

Our Nice food tour is a walking tour around the historical center of Nice. The tourist is guided by a "Foodie", a local "buddy" able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant history/curiosities.
Sample different kinds of artisanal olive oils and see how they're made. Or how about some classic Nice street food? Try the original socca - a special savory pancake made with chickpea flour, crispy outside and soft inside - the Pissaladière, is an onion tart with olives and anchovies. Or imbibe in typical Provencal wine. And to end the tour with something sweet, try a fresh homemade ice-cream and sweet treats from a local confiserie
