We’ve been traveling through Europe for the past two months, using a combination of private guides and ship excursions for segments that were on cruise ships. Joe, our guide for a day of discovery out of Nice, France, was by far the best guide we’ve had our entire trip! We was an excellent driver, and very knowledgeable about history, the arts, music, food, wine, shopping, pop culture, etc. He was very prompt picking us up at our hotel and he knew all the side routes to get us to our chosen destinations quickly so as to increase the time we had on our own. He even booked a restaurant for lunch in Saint Paul-de-Vence that was the one we wanted to book anyway. His tips and planning on how to make the best use of our time were priceless. If you are going to book day trips from Nice, you can’t do better than Joe.

Really fun way to get oriented to Nice. Nicholas was a great guide. Went on the 2 hour tour with my 3 teen / adult kids. Glad we did this rather than the 1 hour tour, in think that would have been too short. The Segways were quite easy to ride after a few minutes and felt really comfortable by the end. The have a little bag on the front so you could put a small bag in there if you needed to. Enjoyed seeing the old town and riding through the small streets, then up the hill. Had already done a free walking tour but still enjoyed doing the Segway tour. Really recommend this experience.

Brilliant tour, we went two on this tour and got to know the surroundings and history about old town and castle hill and these two hours just flew by. Brilliant way to travel and our guide was just wonderful and we had so much fun on these segways. The only thing we would like to do different ourselves was to go to this tour more early on in our vacation since now we need another week to see all these pretty places that was pointed out to us ;) well, i guess it will be in the next trip to Nice. Highly reccomend these 2hours :) Big thanks from Simon & Erna.

Our guide was amazing and the segway experience was a great way to see Castel Hill and the old town of Nice. Our guide was very knowledgeable and delivered great information on the sites we were at.

Loved our Segway tour! Highly recommend doing on your first day.
