Step into the heart of Nice’s historic Old Town, where medieval streets, Baroque churches, and centuries of history intertwine to create one of the Mediterranean’s most captivating urban landscapes. With this experience, the Old Town isn’t just something you visit—it’s something you learn to read, detail by fascinating detail.
What sets this journey apart is our architectural perspective. We go beyond picturesque alleyways and charming squares to uncover the stories hidden within stone façades, church domes, noble palaces, and forgotten fortifications. From the medieval origins of the city to the grandeur of the Baroque age, each stop reveals how architecture reflects the ambitions, beliefs, and struggles of the people who shaped Nice.
This isn’t just a tour—it’s seeing Nice’s Old Town as it was meant to be seen.

5.00Katrina’s passion for history really is evident on this tour. She really brings alive the city in ways that make you feel it and see it in a way that you just can’t do on your own. She’s fun too. It’s just the right length of time and we got good value for money

5.00Excellent tour! Katrina is an engaging, intelligent guide with a wonderful sense of humor. She instantly made our group feel at ease. We enjoyed learning about the history and architecture that define this part of the world. Her knowledge of the lives and eccentricities of the former designers, architects, and inhabitants of the buildings on her tour is actually inspiring me to write some fun fictional stories of my own! I highly recommend Anthemion Tours whether you are visiting or if you live in this beautiful place. I promise you will learn something new and interesting from Katrina.
