About this tour
This session walks the back streets of Vieux Nice with someone who lives there, away from the Promenade and the main squares. You see small squares with real stories and shops that have stayed in the same hands for years. It is Nice shown without the postcard version.
A short sound check opens the call, then the guide moves street by street, sharing details most visitors never hear. Questions come in live, and a short list of honest tips for a future visit follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who has done the main sights and wants the city behind them. It also suits viewers planning a first trip who want it framed by someone who actually lives there.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city
Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 6 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Nice before heading out.
-
Vieux Nice back streets 17 min
The camera turns off the main routes of Vieux Nice into its back streets, past shuttered windows and washing lines strung overhead. The guide points out a local shop still run by the same family for decades.
-
A small square 17 min
In a small square away from the main tourist routes, the guide explains the story behind its name and what used to stand here before the current buildings went up.
-
Honest tips 17 min
The guide finishes near Castle Hill, giving direct, unpolished advice on which parts of Vieux Nice are worth the crowds and which are better seen quietly, the way this walk has shown them.
-
Your questions 11 min
Time to ask anything about Nice: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 5 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Pissaladière and Vieux Nice, worth a slower look.
