We had a wonderful time touring Nice on the Hop On Hop Off bus! We were able to visit parts of the city that we would not have otherwise seen, and learn some fun tidbits of history at the same time. We especially appreciated the opportunity to spend a couple of hours in beautiful Villefranche and hop back on the bus to return to Nice. I highly recommend this trip for a great overview of this Mediterranean jewel.

Fantastic news experience on the Nice hop on/off bus tour. We purchased our tickets online minutes before boarding and easily made our way on the bus, received earbuds and a map- and started our journey! The tour made it so easy to see the sights of Nice that we didn't want to miss- and the accompanying narrative was great!

Ticketing process wasn't easy. You take the online voucher to the bus and then they print you the wrong ticket. For only one day instead of 2. The driver on day 2 thought we were trying him on. Also, i know it's a small market but there aren't enough buses. Once every 45 minutes isn't enough.
