5.00My friends and I would definitely recommend this walking tour of Menton. Thanks to our excellent guide, Cyril, we discovered many historical and practical facts about the city that would otherwise have escaped us. It is also a great way to find your bearings on arrival. Highlights included the lovely old town, the Basilica of St Michael, and the stunning views. Unfortunately the Botanical Gardens were closed at the time, but we were delighted to visit the Salle des Marriages which had been off limit to the public earlier in the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk with Cyril. He is extremely knowledgeable and very engaging. (We visited the Botanical Gardens another day - fabulous!)

5.00A tour of Menton is a must! The town has such a rich history that you wouldn’t discover without the help of a guide. Cyril was extremely knowledgeable; he gave us a comprehensive overview of the history of the town from its origins as an area of lemon farms, to an Italian territory, to a Victorian holiday destination. His knowledge is not limited to Menton, but is also informed by a wider understanding of the history of the French Riviera. We finished the tour with some samples of local lemoncello, which was the perfect ending!
Enjoyable and Informative.

5.00Cyril made this trip the best GetYourGuide trip because we ever had. It already started with the fact that, for once, on the one Sunday where we came, the lemon farm eb was closed. However, after some messages on Whatsapp, Nice Creative Tours found an optimal solution. Cyril brought us several typical snacks and a lunch (also problem-free vegetarian). We were also allowed to borrow mosquito sprays from him. He even Googled what Austrians like to drink and then took us white wine. It was very entertaining. We saw a lot and also the tasting at “Maison Cannac” was more than good.
Lovely time in Menton

5.00We had a family visit to Menton that lasted almost 4 hours with Samuel, our guide. It took us to visit many aspects of Menton giving us a lot of both naturalistic and historical information about this beautiful town. He was very helpful, professional and kind. Our children loved it and passed the time very quickly.
