France · DRINKING TOURS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 10 bar crawls that hold up, each with its price, its verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Join guides such as Amine, Omar, or Kevin for a social night through Châtelet. Visit two or three bars, collect a shot with your first drink at each stop, use drink deals, and finish at Café Oz Châtelet with club entry included.
“Good and fun thing to do if you want to meet new people and a crew to hang out with.”
Start at Villa Saint Exupery Beach with guides such as Hari, Farrah, Marta, or Fran, then walk through Nice’s Old Town to four bars and a final club. Expect four free shots, drinks from €4, beer pong, limbo, card games, VIP entry, and a mostly young international crowd.
“Hari and Sunil were my tour guides and they were both amazing! I went with my friends but we became friends with everyone on the bar crawl. It was a great way to experience the city and meet new friends!”
Join Beer&Dash in Nice for five themed bars, six included shots, party games, a photographer, and VIP entry to a real nightclub. Hosts such as Casey, KC, Lauren, Kevin, Mathis, and Floris have led nights here. Expect a large international crowd, late hours, and a high-energy social scene.
“Fantastic. All the guides were so friendly and the group and bars were amazing”
Start near Rue de la Huchette, follow a local guide through Paris nightlife, pause by the Panthéon, and finish in Saint-Germain-des-Prés. You visit 3 or 4 bars and clubs, with four venues on Friday and Saturday, one free shot per stop, and entry included.
“It was a small group of eight. We enjoyed getting to know each other and shared the experience of three different bars and a dance club.”
Start at 9pm at AKATHOR in Old Nice, then walk to three more bars before finishing at a nightclub. Expect yellow-shirted hosts, games, five free shots, drink deals from €6, and an international crowd. Guides may include Isabella or Kev, though the team can change.
“I went with friends and met so many people from all over. It’s a great way to let your hair down and met folks. Be prepared to walk and oh yeaa shot O clock!!!”
Start at 9 pm near Place Massena, then follow Riviera Bar Crawl guides through Nice’s Old Town, Cours Saleya, the seafront, and several bars. You receive four shots, play drinking games, meet other young visitors, and finish with free nightclub entry. Group size can vary greatly.
“The best part was meeting other travelers. The bar crawl was a great way to see the city at night especially when you are new and don't know where to start. It is definitely a younger crowd (mostly 18-20 year olds) so be aware if you are older. That being said, I found a great group of 26 to 32 year olds who were from all over the world. We met during the bar crawl and then continued to a different bar after the tour. Would highly recommend just for the chance to meet some great people!”
Join guides including Rory, Sean, Felix, and Viktor for a five-hour night through Nice’s Old Town. You’ll visit three bars and one nightclub, receive a free-poured shot at every stop, enjoy €5 drink deals, and use VIP entry with a crowd of more than 50 international partygoers.
“best pub crawl in europe!!!!! couldn’t recommend enough”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Filles du Calvaires and spend two hours finding two or more Paris speakeasies. Expect secret doors, passwords, unusual cocktails, and lively conversation with a small international group. Guides such as Maëva, Pierre, Felix, Cali, and Mohona have led this tour.
“Pierre was great! He initiated group discussions and made us feel comfortable. No one felt like strangers. Overall cool experience.”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Place de la République, then walk to three Paris speakeasies with different entrances, moods, and drinks.

“Mark was a really amazing guide who really kept the vibe going with his energy”
At Molinard’s Bar des Fragrances in Grasse, you’ll choose one of three perfume bases and six scent notes, then make a 30ml fragrance with help from a perfume expert. Your mobile ticket also includes a self-guided visit to the factory and perfume museum. Sessions are short, hands-on, and for ages six and up.
“Super underwhelmed by the entire experience, if you can even call it an experience. I either bought the wrong ticket or this place is a bust. I was super excited to make my own perfume but they only had a small number of scents to pick froRead more”
