- Review from Viator
We also toured Nice and Villefranche with Mago and it was an excellent experience. He customized the tour for our family and kept our kids (ages 8 and 11) fully engaged throughout. He is a great storyteller and explained the history in a way that was interesting, interactive, and easy for them to understand. Mago adjusted the pace, added stops that kept the kids interested, and made the entire experience enjoyable for everyone. Our kids were really into the history, which says a lot. Highly recommend Mago, especially for families looking for a thoughtful and engaging tour
