Guided tours in Nice, France

minds .

Our story
Aleksandra Savigny
is a trilingual licensed tourist guide (Français, English, Русский) and multidisciplinary researcher in the service of European written heritage (scientific books of the Renaissance, history of medicine, Paris of Napoleon).

Driven by a belief as unfounded as it is entirely plausible - that God created Nice... last, after bringing divine wonders into the world but remaining divinely Unsatisfied all the same - she founded
Specimina Academica Nicea.

Our approach

_________

Nowadays, seeing Nice and the French Riviera as anything other than a postcard image - idyllic and dreamt of by the whole world - is no mean feat.


For the city of Nice - as alpine as it is maritime - is not limited to the yellow of the sun, nor the azure blue of the sea, like the famous suit that doesn't make the monk. This approach calls for a sensitive, receptive curiosity.

Our hospitality
Whether you're young or old, a connoisseur or an amateur, curious or even (!) not that much, Specimina Nicea is always delighted to welcome you to Nice for a private or a group guided tour.

Our promise

———

We'll reveal the precious secrets of a mysterious, unrivalled, multi-millennial city: Nice, capital of the French Riviera, caressed by the Edenic sea and lovingly sheltered by the Western Alps.


Nissardly yours 🦅,


Specimina Nicea

Our heads-up
a high risk of Alpine avalanches of laughter and Mediterranean heat waves of warmth (human, of course).

    «Amazing tour of Nice with Aleksandra!»

    We had such a wonderful day exploring Nice with Aleksandra. From the very start, her warmth and organization made everything easy and enjoyable. The tour was full of fascinating history and hidden details, and we loved wandering through the old town, the lower quarters, and the newer districts.

    Aleksandra is a gifted storyteller — she brings the city to life and shares facts in such an engaging way. She also gave us great tips on where to try local specialties.

    We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience Nice authentically and memorably!

    «Thank you, Aleksandra»

    I loved the excursion we took, as well as our guide. It is rare to meet an intellectual with such a keen eye for detail, able to see what no one else notices. Aleksandra makes the stones speak and has so many fascinating stories to tell. Thank you for this wonderful experience in this beautiful city.
