5.00Excellent walking tour for family with kids, proper selection of spots that captivated everyone attention. Wonderful storytelling, combination of both art and history facts. We have discovered spots that most probably if walking individually would have missed. Great experience and looking forward for new tours.
A breathtaking walk through the heart of Menton!

5.00We took this private tour and were absolutely delighted. Everything was perfect! Our guide is a wonderful person—it was incredibly interesting and heartwarming to spend time together. We didn’t just see the sights; we truly felt the soul of the city through its history, the scent of lemons, and the cozy backstreets. The tastings of local specialties were a lovely addition. If you're looking for a lively, warm experience rather than a boring lecture, I highly recommend this!
