Description:

Pedal through the vibrant streets of Nice and soak up its unique Mediterranean atmosphere. Follow your expert tour guide down the Promenade des Anglais and explore the old town, crossing lively Garibaldi Square, admiring the view from Castle Hill, and gazing at the yachts in the marina.

Start your bike tour on the palm-dotted Promenade des Anglais, a beachfront esplanade lined with magnificent Renaissance-style palaces. Admire the luxurious Hotel Negresco across from the charming pebbly shore, and delve into the narrow alleys of Nice's historic center. Absorb the ambiance of the medieval quarter as you ride through its maze of tiny cobbled streets and quaint squares.

Feel the burn as you climb up Castle Hill to the Parc du Chateau. Once at the summit, jump off your bike to rest in the cool shade of the hilltop vegetation and admire the breathtaking panorama over the port, old town, and sparkling blue expanse of the Baie des Anges. As you take in the view, your guide shares historical facts and entertaining anecdotes about the city, past and present.

As you wind your way back down through the town to the marina, pass by tucked away churches, lush gardens with elegant fountains, and an array of contemporary sculptures and street art. Your tour ends at the waterfront, where you can gaze out over the terracotta cluster of 18th-century buildings plus the colorful mix of traditional fishing boats and luxury yachts bobbing in historic Port Lympia.
