  This is really what Americans call value for money. We had a very nice tour with Driton the driver. We were only three people on an afternoon trip five hours. The driver was extremely helpful. Could explain very well. It was very interesting to see Monaco and Monte Carlo and Ville france and Eze. Parfume factory was least exciting when doing a tour. In Nice, do this.

  We were waiting for the first bus of the day at the cruise terminal and it was 50 minutes late. Tour itself was nice as were the buses.

• Poor schedule

  Switch from high to low season schedule. No notice from Viator or provider. Waited 1 hr 45 minutes for first pick-up (huge waste of time). Le Grande tour bus makes everyone get off the bus at stop 1 and makes you wait 1 hr to get back on.

• Good deal

  Whenever I travel and there is a Hop-on-hop off bus I take it-I ride the entire route and decide what I would like to explore further. I then ride it again and get off at the places of interest to me. It’s inexpensive and you can use it all day

• Oh dear - was not worth our money or time

  Not worth the money spent for this hop on hop off! We were going to get off at a stop but would have had to wait for at least 45 mins until the next bus in the heat so decided to stay on for the whole tour. Not that many stops and half can be done on foot. The ticket is only valid for the day and not the usual 24 hours! Also if you wanted to do a full circuit and then restart, you cannot stay on the bus. You have to get off and walk across the road to another stop to wait for and then embark on another bus. Total put off for this tour. Really disappointed.

• Very nice way to see the city

  Good experience. We got off at a very good stop to have a great lunch and shopping. We didn’t have to wait long for the next bus,

• Be warned - poor signage and not enough buses and space

  I have been on lots of hop on hop off buses in various countries and this was not good . Luke others have said the bus stops are not marked so you don’t know you are at the correct place , also not many buses and we waited an hour for one that when it did finally come - station 4 on the map , it was full and we were unable to get on the bus . Once on the bus the journey its self is good but we did not get off as we’re unsure if there would be space to get back on , or find the bus stop . Viator do not give you a map , so I had to go on the main hop on website to find where I thought the bus would be , then even had to ask in a shop that I was on the correct side of the road , which I was not .

• Affordable, well organized option to an Uber.

  This is a very affordable, well organized loop around Nice and the surrounding area. A simple Uber ride to some of the Destinations would cost you more than the price of the day long ticket. I went around one time and enjoyed the commentary and then stopped at the port for lunch and then stopped again for some pictures in old town. I did, however, for the first time ever lose my red bus ticket and despite having the day pass electronic ticket on my phone was advised that I needed to have the piece of paper when I tried to re-board the third time.

• Bad Shore Excursion Option

  We booked this as part of a shore excursion on a cruise. If you're in Nice and not on a cruise, then this might have been fun! However, the description on the Cruise site for this excursion leaves out a few details..... There is no mention of the hour long (each way) bus ride with a stop at the highway rest area to use the bathroom. They do mention that we would have plenty of time to stroll the local area and be able to visit the shops. They gave us 20 minutes TOTAL to shop and walk back to the train from where the bus had to park which was nowhere near the train. After the hour drive back, we had 10 minutes to catch the last tender to the ship. In hind sight, as a cruise excursion, this is a terrible option, we would have been much better off just hanging in Cannes and visiting that town.

• Great Way to see Villefranche-sur-Mer (NOT all of Nice)

  This double-decker bus tour is only about 1.5 hours long from start to finish, and I know that may feel short given the price. However, the short tour duration allowed me to take the loop twice, once to find out where everything was, and again to relax and enjoy the scenery. For me, the biggest benefit was that it takes you to all the main tourist areas with hop-on/hop-off flexibility. I used it as transportation to get from Old Town Nice to Villefranche-sur-Mer (it was still cheaper than a round-trip taxi ride). It also goes to the main train station and the sea port. I loved the narrated tour on board. Earphones are provided if you didn't bring your own, and the tour is available in over 7 different languages. The roads the bus takes offer incredible views of the Nice port and Villefranche-sur-Mer from the hillside. I had amazing weather, so sitting on the upper deck was exhilarating. I feel I got my value for the money with the narrated tour, the wonderful views, and the ability to get to Villefranche-sur-Mer easily. I found this tour helpful for getting your bearings in Nice. That being said, it is NOT a fully comprehensive tour of ALL of Nice, so it might not be for everyone. Note: if you sit on the right side of the upper deck while the bus is on Promenade des Anglais, you might get smacked by low hanging leaves on the palm trees lining the street. Be sure to duck.
