We added a couple of optional activities beyond Cours Saleya Market and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.

Our trip to Nice was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Colline du Château was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Nice is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Èze village and perfumery tour. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

Promenade des Anglais alone was worth the trip, but combined with Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.
