    What To Expect

    Your small-group, local-led tour of Nice’s in-the-know dining destinations begins right before lunchtime. Meet your guide in the city center, and be sure to come hungry: You’ll try enough samples and tastings to add up to a generous meal.

    First, begin with savory Niçois staples that few visitors get to try. Indulge in the classic pan bagnat, try socca, nibble farçis Niçois, and taste pissaladière (vegetarian–friendly substitutes are also offered). As you go, you’ll visit a range of traditional food businesses, and will learn all about Nice’s cuisine and culture from your guide.

    Next, finish your indulgent tastings with desserts. Try a range of artisanal macarons before ending with Italian ice cream. While water is included in the cost, you can also choose to purchase additional beverages as you go.

    Finally, your gourmet tasting tour ends directly at your original departure point, leaving you plenty of time to continue your sightseeing.

    Excellent
    Jessica_W, May 2024
    Eli was amazing! So funny and the food was perfect. Would give this tour more stars if I could. We have been on several walking food tours and this was a top tour! 100% recommend 💕
    Nice food tour
    Lesa_W, May 2024
    An enjoyable day strolling through old town and learning about the different foods in the region. Audrey was a true delight and thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
    Great tour and great food
    Sharon_T, May 2024
    The big pan bagnat was a surprise to start the tour, but it was delicious! There was only one item I didn’t care for, but I wouldn’t have eaten that anywhere! (The sweet item made with chard/wilted greens). I loved everything else, and I thought our guide was FANTASTIC!
    Food and Sights!
    Melissa_M, May 2024
    Great way to taste local foods in Nice. Eli was great tour guide. Her knowledge of the food and her restaurants were excellent. Definitely recommend this tour if you are visiting Nice.
    Food tour in Nice France
    Fraser_a, May 2024
    The Tour we thought had more food but it only had 4 little bite size, a Socca which was nice and freshly made and half a bread roll sandwich. The only time we sit down is when we sit at the park to eat our Socca and sandwich. We thought it will be in a restaurant and sitting down or at least inside but we eat outside standing and on the park. The photo advertisement looked like people are in a table? For the amount we paid and the food we had its not worth it! The guide was very pleasant she tried her best and she is very friendly. The disappointing part is the food! Value for money is not worth it!
    Response from Host, May 2024
    Why lie ? You have had 7 tastings, not 4, it is shameful to say that :/
    Chef’s Kiss!

    Excellent tour despite the rainy weather. Audrey was a fabulous guide and all the stops were lovely!
    Foodie Tour in Nice with Audrey
    William_C, May 2024
    Our tour guide Audrey was terrific. Excellent English, friendly, helpful, and knows her way around the Nice food scene. She paced the tour just right. Not an excessive amount of walking [especially for older folks], adequate time spent at restaurant locales, and a tasteful lunch break in a park with delicious homemade sandwiches. A very pleasant way to spend an afternoon in Nice. Highly recommended!
    Enjoy the best food in Nice

    Eli was a fantastic, entertaining and fun food tour guide. My wife is Gluten Free and I had contacted the No Diet Club in advance to see if this tour could accommodate that. The initial response was not encouraging until Eli stepped in. She brought along a loaf of Gluten Free bread and had prepared each of the restaurants and shops we visited for my wife's allergy. The tour was absolutely outstanding, the food delicious and we could not be more thankful for Eli's graciousness and prowess as a tour guide. I highly recommend this tour to truly understand and sample all that is Nice cuisine.
    Wonderful food tour!
    JenRCham, Apr 2024
    Excellent tour! Variety of foods, plenty of samples and all very tasty! Audrey was a wonderful guide and we had such a great time! Definitely recommend!!
    Best 3 hours spent in Nice
    Daniel_D, Apr 2024
    Sampling all the different authentic foods of Nice was a very enjoyable journey lasting 3 hours. The guide was brilliant giving us a history of Nice along the way and she made the whole experience absolutely amazing for us all. We would highly recommend this tour to all.
    A fun, well-rounded food tour for all ages
    Jessica_R, Apr 2024
    This food tour was fantastic! We were a family of 6 (from children age 10, to teens, to adults and a grandmother). Everyone loved it! The walking was easy with plenty of stops and interesting stories. The food was delicious. We felt like real insiders, as our fantastic tour guide, Heloise, let us in on all the best local spots. Definitely worth the time and money!
    Gastronomic Niçoise Adventure!
    Amelia_H, Apr 2024
    The Nice food tour was an absolute delight! It was such a fantastic experience to delve into the diverse culinary landscape of Nice, sampling an array of local Niçoise delicacies. Our guide, Nolwenn, was incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into the history and cultural significance of each dish, which added depth to the experience. Overall, the Nice food tour was a gastronomic adventure that left us with a deeper appreciation for Niçoise cuisine. Highly recommended for anyone looking to savor the authentic flavors of Nice!
    Tasty and informative
    Todd_S, Apr 2024
    This tour was not only tasty but very informative. Constance was our guide and she was great. Not only did she describe what we were eating but also the history and link of the dish with the region. She also included history of the areas of the city and the old village areas where we sampled the food. We went back to some of the places we visited later on our vacation,
    Great Tour!
    Zach_G, Mar 2024
    Well constructed and varied tour of the main area of Nice. Covered some neat basic history along the way. Food was all excellent. Constance (that day's guide) was personable and knowledgeable. Worth the price!
    Your bellies will be left happy and full of memories and delicious food 😋
    DanTam_N, Mar 2024
    My partner and I aren't big foodies but this was such a good tour to try and learn about the local dishes of Nice. Heloise was such a great host and guide. She's super bubbly and incredibly knowledgeable about the food we tried as well as local facts around Nice. Plus after the tour she shared photos that she took on the tour and also a list of recommended restaurants along the French Riviera, super handy for us as we were heading to a different town after Nice! In our tour we had 7 people in the group and we felt very inclusive and involved in all the activities we did. I can confidently say that if we didn't do this tour, we would've had no idea of what to eat in Nice so if this is your first time in Nice or want to know more about the local dishes, look no further than this tour. You will end the tour with happy and full bellies 😋
    A wonderful way to experience a Nicois morning
    Andrea_D, Mar 2024
    We loved that this was also a tour of the center part of the city, getting to see everything and the cuisine really brought it all together
    Great experience if in Nice!
    Roxana_S, Mar 2024
    We had a great time in Nice. A food tour is a must. The food was great but is not 100% french cuisine, is a mix of french and italian (there are a lot of italian restaurants).
    Unique to Nice!!!!
    sharon_w, Mar 2024
    Leo was wonderful. Love that we had local specialties!!!! The whether was horrible and we still loved the experience. Thank you!
    Great way to explore Old Town of Nice!
    Karla_S, Feb 2024
    What a fun tour with our guide, Heloise! She was very knowledgeable of the area, Old Town, and the various foods! She also gave great recommendations for places to visit and restaurants. It was a great way to get to know Nice! You will end the tour full! Our kids also enjoyed it:) Highly recommend!
    Wonderful and tasty tour!
    Fabiola_C, Dec 2023
    I can highly recommend this tour as an excellent introduction to niçoise cuisine while also visiting points of interest around Nice. Among others, we tried pan bagnat, socca, pissaladière and ice cream. Everything we tried was very tasty, but I think the pan bagnat was my overall favourite as it was full of flavour and tasted very fresh. Our tour guide (Léo) was friendly, full of information and very helpful. Our group wasn't too big (there were four of us in total), which ensured that we were all able to hear our guide properly and that it felt more like walking around with a group of friends on a tasty tour of Nice. All in all, douze points from me! :-)
