My name is Dorothee and I will be your host here in beautiful Nice, France. I can say that I am the type of person who is active, and curious, who enjoys new projects. Born in Paris, I studied in Nice and I am an official trilingual tour guide since 2005. I am also a photographer, reporter, videomaker and casting director. I find everything creative very interesting, the same is the case with tourist guiding, it is something that is dynamic, always interesting and never the same. I like to connect with people and create cultural interactivity, share my experiences about the diversity of our culture, history and people. I created a non-profit organization to highlight and protect our heritage, I like to combine tourism and art and listen to what others have to say. As a tourist guide, besides Nice, I also worked in Paris, Spain, Italy, and Portugal I ve been a tourist guide teacher as well and I wrote 10 travel' guides about Peru and Argentina for the web : great advices, restaurants, history and itineraries, not to miss . . . illustrated with pictures. Very useful. I consider myself as open-minded, friendly and kind person and I am looking forward to meeting you in my Nice so we can have a chat and fun together.

She was very accommodating, and was willing to meet us 1 1/2 hrs earlier than our scheduled time because we could not check into our hotel. She told us about the local specialties and had us try the Socco at the market. She recommended restaurants for both lunch and dinner, pointing out which were local favorites and the ones that required reservations. The one we went to, Acciaardo, was great! We will recommend her to our friends who will be coming to Nice next year.

We had a lovely tour with Dorothee. We arrived 30 minutes late (I mixed up the time we were supposed to meet) and she was patient and gracious about it. Dorothee is very knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as contemporary issues. She was willing to answer questions and provided a balanced perspective that included humor and interesting antidotes.

Dorothee was a terrific tour guide. She is very knowledgable, and could answer any question about the history of Nice. She was also very forthcoming with suggestions about things to do and places to eat in the area. It was a wonderful experience.
