Thinking about adding a stylish twist to your trip to Nice? This cocktail tour offers a chance to learn how to craft your own drinks while soaking in panoramic views of the Bay of Nice. It’s a perfect mix of fun, sophistication, and socializing, especially if you appreciate good spirits and gorgeous scenery.
What caught our eye about this experience? First, the chance to create your own signature cocktail with guidance from a professional mixologist. Second, the opportunity to visit two stunning rooftop bars that overlook the sea—views that really do make the drinks taste better. That said, it’s worth noting that the tour is designed for adults and has a smart-casual dress code, so it’s not ideal for families or party groups looking for high-energy nightlife.
