About this experience

This walking tour allows you to explore Vieux Nice independently and at your own pace. You can discover hidden spots such as the tavern that inspired painter Raoul Dufy and the location where executioners washed their hatchets. The tour features commentary from producer Jeanne Oliver, who has authored a book on walks through the ancient city. It can be completed in one hour, but you have the flexibility to linger at stops as desired. You can use the tour multiple times before and after your booking date, and there is a virtual tour option available for use at home. After booking, you will receive a ticket with instructions and a unique code to enter in the VoiceMap app, which provides directions to the starting point. Once there, you can begin the audio experience by using your headphones. The app offers automatic GPS playback and works offline.
