Our guide , Gabriella (Carmela actually) showed us so many great views of Nice and shared historical references of each place we stopped to enjoy. The stories of the Angels bay provided great context and background. The rain blessed us on out tour and we loved that. Perfect first day of our visit and helped so much to fend off jet lag.
