How it works
Tourists are approached by official tour guides on the Promenade or in Vieux Nice offering highly discounted walking tours that do not exist. Groups are led into side streets, separated, and pressured to pay extra fees for upgraded routes or special cultural experiences. Some tours never materialize after payment.
