Mobilboard Nice

Mobilboard Nice is a tour company based on Rue Halévy, a short walk from the Promenade des Anglais, offering several ways to explore the city with a guide. It is best known for its Segway tours, but its range also includes walking tours, food tours and scavenger hunts, so it suits visitors with different energy levels and interests.

The walking tours focus on the history, culture and atmosphere of Nice's neighbourhoods, while the food tours add tastings at gourmet stops along the way, depending on the option chosen. They are a good way to get your bearings in the old town and to learn which local specialities to look out for during the rest of your stay. The scavenger hunts are team challenges designed for families, friends and company groups.

For a first try on a Segway, the company runs a training session followed by a 30-minute introductory ride, which is free for holders of the French Riviera Pass. You can extend it with an hour-long guided ride around the old town for an extra charge. Riders must weigh between 45 and 118 kilograms, and children aged 14 and over may take part if accompanied by an adult. Mobilboard also rents out bicycles, electric scooters and gyropods for independent exploring.

The shop is open every day, from 09:30 to 18:00 between April and October and until 17:30 in winter, and is closed on 1 January and Christmas Day. Booking is recommended, particularly in summer and for group or private tours. Guides speak English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese as well as French. Payment is accepted by card, cash and Apple Pay, and pets are welcome.

Mobilboard suits active travellers, families with teenagers, groups of friends and anyone who wants a guided overview with a bit of fun thrown in. The food tours are a good choice for travellers who are short on time and want to sample local dishes in one go, and the scavenger hunts work well for team-building days.

Rue Halévy is in the area just behind the seafront near the Promenade des Anglais, so after your tour the beach, the Jardin Albert 1er and the old town are all within easy reach on foot.
