The noddy train as we call it. We did a tour of Cannes and decided to round our trip to the south of France with a tour of Nice. Its a fantastic way to get your bearings and with the audio, an overview of the history of Nice. The train departs from opposite the Meridian hotel on the Promenade des... More

Take this little road train up to the top of the Colline hill to save walking. Great views from the top and lots of Roman ruins and waterfalls. Hop on and off anywhere. Great! More

Helps save some legwork up the hill! The ride is worth the money of 7 euros and the audioguide is very good. More

...if you forget about the headphones and just enjoy the view as the trains climbs up the hill with the breathtaking view over most of Nice. The staff is nice, train runs precisely and the price is affordable. Approx EUR 12 (USD 15) for one adult + one child. Tip: Take the train up to the castle - and walk... More

What an easy way to get an orientation of the city - do this when you first arrive. There is just one stop- at the top of a hill for fabulous view and well stocked tourist shop (actually some good local oil paintings). More

Good value for money at 7€, ideal if you're too lazy/young/old to walk but definitely not comfortable. It goes to all the main points of interest and allows you 15 mins on the chateau hill to take photos of the amazing views. More

Great to see round Nice on the tourist train. It laves from opposite the Meridien hotel on the Promenade DES Anglais. The highlight for us was the trip up to the top of the castle gardens with amazing views of the Nice Port, and right the way across the Promenade, and beyond. Take a picnic and spend a while up...

Yes, it's a bit cheesy but seriously, we would never have covered so much ground by walking. Adults are 7 Euros, kids under 9 are 4 Euros, kids under 4 are free. Spent much of the tour caught in Nice traffic but at least we weren't driving in it!! And the 10 min. break at the top of Castle Hill... More
