Discover Nîmes differently ☺️

5.00An absolutely exceptional experience! I thought I knew Nîmes, but this visit proved me wrong. Thanks to Céline, I discovered the city from a new angle, far from the classic tourist circuits. Between fascinating anecdotes, charming little streets, and tasting delicious local and regional products, everything was perfectly orchestrated. It is more than just a simple visit: it is a friendly, gourmet, and authentic immersion. A big thank you for this discovery. I recommend it without hesitation, whether you are just passing through or even a local!
A must-do even for locals.

5.00To do, without hesitation! Thank you, Céline, for allowing us to rediscover Nîmes in a new light. In the end, we still had things to discover. Discovery of intimate places, away from tourist traps. Discovery of local, regional products accompanied by their little stories. What a great moment. Aurelie
The activity not to be missed in Nîmes

5.00Just a fabulous activity to better discover Nîmes, its secrets, and its history. We loved it! Céline is extremely interesting and makes this tour very enjoyable; the partner merchants are of great quality. I recommend this tour even for locals!
Beyond a simple visit!

5.00Really awesome experience! Céline has her own unique approach to visiting Nîmes, which is off the beaten path. Honestly, I am from Nîmes, but I learned more about the city in 3 hours with Céline than in 30 years of existence! I particularly appreciated the inclusion of the artistic universe of the city in the tour, beyond its Gallo-Roman aspect that everyone already knows to some extent. And there too, I learned a lot. What is really pleasant as well is that it is very well-paced. Both in terms of the explanations and the tour itself: never heavy, never dull, always fascinating! In terms of gastronomy, it is the same; we are in the typical, discovering the classics that make the region famous, but with VERY good, if not the BEST addresses! To put it simply, I rediscovered one of the local specialties, but at a place that surpassed all those I already knew. Beyond her skills as a guide, Céline is very pleasant as a person, very approachable. Even in a small group, she knows how to make everyone feel comfortable and answers questions with pleasure! Very honestly, I can only recommend her food tour, even if you know the area, even if you are from Nîmes! (almost "especially if you are from Nîmes," it allows you to learn even more about your city!) By the way, if you are looking for an activity with friends, for a chill bachelor or bachelorette party, or just passing through Nîmes... go for it, it is truly the best. In short, I was won over and I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Céline!
Great experience.

5.00A very, very beautiful discovery of Nîmes in a different way. I thought I knew this city, but in the end, I did not know it that well. To be done again with a group of friends.
A brilliant concept.

5.00Thank you, Céline, for the discovery of your Nîmes Food Tour! I discovered the concept for the first time with pleasure. One explores the local traditions, the Nîmes culture, street art, but also and especially... Of course, culinary traditions! I greatly appreciated the change of locations, atmospheres, stories, and contexts to enjoy all of this. A perfect activity to do with family, friends, as a couple, or for a bachelorette or bachelor party. As a wedding planner, I will not hesitate to recommend this activity to my foreign couples as well as to French couples who have never looked beyond what they already knew.
Excellent and informative tour

5.00Celine is a fantastic guide! I highly recommend this tour. We tried many local specialties, toured the food hall, and learned about the history and culture of Nîmes. The stops also included bakeries, a chocolate shop, and local ice cream. This tour is a great value. Celine is an expert on food and wine.

5.00We greatly enjoyed our tour with Celine learning the history of Nimes and sampling food from the region. We tried a selection of breads and pastries, brandade de nimes, ice cream, wine, and much more. Celine spoke very good English which we greatly appreciated. She gave us some ideas of other activities in the area as well. I highly recommend this experience.
