We did the free walking tour in Nice with a small group of just 5 people. Although our guide isn’t originally from the area, we was really knowledgable. He took us to some beautiful stops and also climbed with us all the way to the mountain top to present us a breathtaking view over the French Riviera. I highly recommend this tour. Thanks again!

A unique experience by mountain Railway through the Alps, beyond canyons, viaducts and tunnels discovering new treasures unknown by most of the visitors of the French Riviera. We will stop in the most picturesque villages, very surprising hidden treasures, being astonished as well by the landscapes, as by medieval villages & baroque treasures of the Baroque Route, also called Salt Road for the Trading Route back in centuries. The Valley of Roya is surrounded by Alps Mountains and is the main door of the very preserved National Park du Mercantour, well known for his several lakes, and his mysterious engraving stones on the Valley des Merveilles. You will be guided by a professional local guide proposing you the classic program or offering several options if you prefer sports, hikes or craftmanship.

Inclusions: Local taxes, Lunch, Driver/guide, Live commentary on board, Local guide, Professional guide, Fuel surcharge, Landing and facility fees, Snacks
