5.00I booked myself and four friends a private tour with Nejib for a 40th birthday treat in Nice and it was absolutely one of the highlights of our trip! Nejib was so knowledgeable, friendly and hilarious- he had us laughing at many points during the tour! We toured down the promenade de Anglais and around the old town and its many historical points, ending up at the castle on the hill. The way Nejib brought the history to life was so engaging and animated and he was very accommodating with our stop offs at various points on the trip to taste the delicious food and drink on offer! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting a tour of Nice!

5.00Neijib was fantastic. First, completely flexible. He came at our scheduled time in the morning but we had travel issues. So he immediately suggested that he could come back when it was good for us. We rescheduled and started 2.5 hours of great information and fun! Showed us all around Nice, provided historical and current context. Took 60+ pictures and shared them with us. And after the tour, emailed us with restaurant and nightlife recommendations. We tried 3 places over the next 36 hours and they were all great. He was the perfect guide!!!
Best tour ever!

5.00Nejib was fantastic and the best tour guide we’ve ever had! He knew so much history and made the experience interactive and interesting. Having a tour guide who truly loves his job and is passionate about his job made it even more enjoyable. He went above and beyond, even taking us to our bus stop. We couldn’t find it, and he took it upon himself to ask and didn’t leave until we were on the bus. He deserves a raise and many accolades! Thank you so much from your Colorado friends!

5.00It was a great tour of Nice. Nejib took a lot of time to explain a lot to us about the various sights. He has great knowledge and has responded to each question individually. We have learned a lot about the history of Nice. It was a very friendly, casual and fun atmosphere and it was a great experience. I would recommend booking the tour to anyone who is on holiday in Nice and wants to learn more about the city. Thanks again!:)
