Incredible day!

Julia took our clients on the most incredible food tour through Nice and then on to an amazing tour and wine tasting at Chateau Bellet. She is incredibly knowledgeable of all aspects - history, architecture, food, wine! All 13 of us LOVED our experience. I will be recommending to friends and family and taking more clients next year!

Ticks all the boxes

From the moment we saw Julia and her red umbrella, we were in safe hands. She knows Nice so well and told us a lot of trivia. We knew about the wine tasting but didnt know food tasting was included and the snacks she served us to try were so tasty. She kept the group engaged and was an overall great guide. Highly recommended tour!

Lovely tour with a knowledgeable guide

Our guide, Julia, was outstanding! Even though I was already pretty familiar with Nice before this tour, I learned so much about the city’s fascinating history, geography, and cuisine. The small group size was perfect for the narrow streets of Vieux Nice, and unlike some larger tours, did not leave me with the uncomfortable feeling that we were in everyone else’s way. The wines we tried were really unique and delicious; Julia did a great job of choosing wines that were unlike something we’d normally drink at home. I had a great time all around.

Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nice.

How much does Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour cost?

+

Prices start at €65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nice usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour take?

+

Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nice is not rushed.

Is Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Nice, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour?

+

Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nice can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nice and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nice within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Nice?

+

On Outty we rank every Nice experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include ★ Walking Tour of Old Nice and Castle Hill, NO DIET CLUB - Unique Local Food in Nice !, Nice City Segway Sightseeing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Nice?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Nice?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

What is included in Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour?

+

Included: Snacks; Bottled water; Alcoholic beverages; guided tour; and Brunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Where is the meeting point for Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour?

+

#ILoveNICE Look for a guide with a VinoLove sign Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

What languages is Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour offered in?

+

It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour?

+

Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

What happens to Nice Old Town Food & Wine Tour if the weather is bad?

+

This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
