Best Tours & activities in Nice (2026)

Guided tours are a useful way to see Nice in a short time, especially for first-time visitors. The open-top Nice Le Grand Tour bus follows a hop-on hop-off route with 12 stops through Nice and on to Villefranche-sur-Mer, with commentary in nine languages, and it is included in the French Riviera Pass. The electric Petit Train touristique leaves from the Jardin Albert 1er and offers two short loops, one of which climbs Castle Hill and stops at the top for the view, which is ideal for families and anyone who wants to avoid the steps.

For something more active, Mobilboard Nice runs Segway rides, guided walking tours, food tours with tastings and scavenger hunts from its base near the Promenade des Anglais. Food tours are a good way to try socca, pissaladière and other local specialities in one go, and walking tours of the old town bring its Baroque churches and palaces to life. Book ahead in summer, particularly for small-group tours, and check whether your activity is included in the French Riviera Pass, which can make it free. Morning tours are cooler in summer, and the light on the bay is at its best in the late afternoon.
