I had a wonderful day touring cillages in the mountains overlooking Calvi. Our driver was kind and considerate and a very careful driver. It was also fun to share the experience with a small group of 6 people. I felt safe in the van with the windows open and fresh air blowing through. The information provided provided was also excellent, including, apart from hisptry, information about Corsican plants, bees and other agriculture.

Our guide serge was lovely. He really made the experience pleasurable. We saw wonderful villages and the pace was great even with a 8 year old. We had incredible lunch at Lumio, San Antonio and Pigna were gorgeous. Got a feeling of seeing the real Corsica with this tour! Totally worth the time and money.
