here Sea Meets Mountains: Free Tour Guide to Nice – French Riviera's Coastal Gem
Welcome to your free tour guide to Nice! This journey takes you from the stunning Baie des Anges with its UNESCO-recognized landscapes through elegant Belle Époque promenades where artists, aristocrats, and chefs have created a unique cultural atmosphere, to the breathtaking Mediterranean coastline where azure waters meet pebble beaches beneath palm trees. Nice doesn’t try to impress, but we can’t help showing it to you!
At Wingman, we’re your local friend, guiding you to authentic socca restaurants where Nice residents gather, and to peaceful lookout points perfect for enjoying a glass of local rosé as the sun sets over the Mediterranean.
We’ll walk with you from the impressive Castle Hill with its panoramic views across the bay to the beautiful historic Promenade des Anglais, sharing Nice’s special feeling—part sophisticated Riviera resort, part authentic Provençal town, and always wonderfully Mediterranean. Let us show you beyond the postcard views.

Follow the coastal path toward Cap de Nice as the afternoon light turns golden, and you'll discover a locals-only viewpoint overlooking the entire bay and coastline. The breathtaking scene appears before you—dramatic cliffs, the silhouette of sailing boats, and the perfect panorama of hills meeting sea against the setting sun.
