Great tour worth doing if you have a limited time in Nice but want to see a lot. Roman made it even better, thank you and we hope to see you again if we come to Nice soon.

It is a long day, but you get to rest in between stops on the drive. Off season so not too crowded, and traffic was light so we got plenty of time at the stops.

We really enjoyed the guided tour with Roman. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend that!

Nice :) experience, Parfait is a five stars guide, good driver and a kind supportive persson, kindly recommended.

Very fun activity to explore the city in a different way. The app worked perfectly!
