Tour Description: It might be a cliché to say Nice has something for everyone, but the Côte d’Azur’s cosmopolitan capital pretty much does.

Sure, sun seekers sip cocktails on parasoled lounges lining its polished pebbled shores, and kids splash in the azure sea, while bladers cruise the curved Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels) against a backdrop of fairy-lit palm trees flanking the promenade des Anglais.

But Nice is much more than just a place for fun in the sun. Art aficionados’ must-sees include major museums. Archaeological and history buffs ruminate over the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Cemenelum. Flaneurs ferret out secret passages leading to narrow pedestrian laneways in the romantic old town, lingering over the sights and scents of the colourful flower and produce markets, and trawling for antiques. Gastronomes go gaga over finely prepared food, from chic little bolt holes to family-style French cooking and Michelin-starred cuisine. Barflies flit to the perpetually-buzzing watering holes, and hipsters hop between ever-emerging hotspots.

Starting at the iconic Negresco, our guide to Nice which takes about four or five hours, depending on how many breaks you take, will tell you about the Englishman who established the Promenade des Anglais, and his compatriot who introduced the noonday gun as well as the tragic story of the Rumanian founder of the Negresco.

Hidden away amongst the cafés and displays of suntan lotion, we’ll show you the Croix de Marbre, the spot where a king, an emperor and a pope met in Nice to make peace – and promptly fell out again. The composer of great hymns such as Abide with Me is buried in the Anglican Church and, as our Nice audio guide willl point out, exactly where.

After the vast modern Place Masséna, we’ll help you explore the old town, Le Vieux Nice, with its beautiful flower market show you Matisse's house once lived – and we’ll tell you the grim story behind the religious order founded there.

On your audio guide to Nice we’ll talk about the historic cathedral – and point out the best ice cream in town. You’ll learn about one of the most intriguing but less well known museums the Palais Lascaris and hear about Garibaldi, the great Italian leader’s connection with Nice.
