What a great way to see parts of Nice. Marion was fantastic and brought us to great places to sample local foods. We really enjoyed it and you can see how much she loves what she does. She was so enthusiastic to share the food with us and we had so much food we were stuffed! I highly recommend this tour.

Nice food is great.

This was our second time doing this tour with Marion and as always she delivered. A wonderful selection of local foods and market tasting, followed by wine tasting was a perfect way to enjoy Nice. Marion is one of the tour guides I have experienced and her love of the food in Nice is infectious. Thank you Marion! Andrew & Shari

Marion was a great guide. Very authentic experience in Nice! One of the best food tours we have been on. One comment was that we had 15 people on the tour and this was too many. Tour should not have more than 10.

Fantastic tour. Marion was wonderful and so enthusiastic about all the food and drink we had. There were more people on the tour than I’d expected but it worked fine. We really enjoyed tasting all the different delicacies and hearing more about the history of Nice! Would definitely recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour and tour guide!0

Christy_D, May 2022

This tour was so much fun, trying so many new things and our guide put a lot of work into it. She was well organized and prepared. But mostly she was a lot of fun and entertaining. She knew her history of Nice and the food. She’s the kind of person you just want to go grab a croissant and cafe with and talk for hours!

Highly recommended food tour
