“We had an amazing time on this walking tour with Laura. The pace of the tour was perfect — not too fast, not too slow — and she made sure to look after every participant (group of 9) throughout the entire walk. She spoke to each of us while making eye contact, which made the experience feel very personal and welcoming. Laura was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Nice and shared so many fascinating details that we never would have known on our own. Thanks to her, we were able to appreciate the city on a much deeper level. Highly recommended!”
