The experience

You ride in a comfortable, motorized three-wheeled taxi while a guide narrates the route and stops to point out the details. The bike does the work. You sit back and listen. The guide speaks your language and knows which stories matter: why the Apollo fountain sits where it does in Place Masséna, what the narrow streets of Old Nice reveal about centuries of settlement, why the Cours Saleya flower market smells the way it does. You stop when something catches your eye, take photos, taste local food if you want (socca, pissaladière, azzurro ice cream are sold on the market), and move on when you're ready.

The route covers the main landmarks in sequence: Place Masséna and its two parks, the colorful architecture and tight streets of Old Nice, the Opera House, the flower market, Rossetti Square, the waterfront at Quai des États-Unis, Castle Hill for views across the Bay of Angels and toward Cap Ferrât, Port Lympia with its Venice-colored buildings, Place Garibaldi, and the long sweep of the Promenade des Anglais on the way back. The guide points out the Museum of Modern Art (MAMAC) and Masséna High School, a former convent built in 1623. A memorial to the two world wars marks another stop.

The taxi picks you up at your hotel or apartment and returns you there when the hour is done. WiFi is on board. The vehicle meets modern accessibility standards and can accommodate wheelchairs, infants in strollers, and service animals.
