Leave Port Lympia with a small group of up to 12 for a fast-paced coastal cruise past Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat. Anchor in sheltered Villefranche Bay for a swim or snorkel, homemade Niçois snacks and wine, then watch the sunset on the way back. Captains and guides have included Jean-Baptiste, Leo, Paul and Antoine, though the crew can vary.

“Absolutely unforgettable sunset tour with Leo & Jean-Baptiste! What an incredible way to say goodbye to Nice. From start to finish it was pure joy, we laughed so much, spent ages swimming in the sea while we waited for the sunset sesh. The wine was amazing, the pizza delicious, and the whole evening felt like a dream. On top of that, I even made new friends along the way… the kind of memories that make traveling so special. This was actually my second tour with them, and honestly I’d come back every single time. Leo and Jean-Baptiste def the best! fun, relaxed, and full of good energy. Truly the best…”

8.Evening Food and Wine Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 43 reviews · 3h 30m · from $153

Spend 3.5 hours walking from Place Masséna into Nice’s Old Town, with an English-speaking food guide and 6 to 8 tasting stops. Expect regional dishes such as socca, salade niçoise, and ratatouille, plus wine, cheese, cured meats, sweets, specialty shops, and one secret tasting. Groups are limited to 10.

“Heloise was a very friendly and well informed guide for our food tour of Nice. We were lucky to be the only people for that tour and she was very attentive, making the most of the time. There was a good variety of tastings (although as at one of the stops the quantity was for four people we didn't need to eat again that day) and the opportunity to try several wines. Pairing a local red wine with a charcuterie and cheeses seemed an odd recommendation, but Heloise knows what she is talking about and we were very happy to follow any further advice that she gave. Her photography skills…”
