F.A.Q.
The full-day tour lasts about 7 hours, including a lunch stop. I collect you at your door at 9:00 or 9:30 am and bring you back at the end of the day.
Since Cap Corse is very seasonal, this tour is available from April 15th to October 15th. Outside this period I suggest Patrimonio instead.
I offer door-to-door pickup in the Bastia, Saint-Florent and Erbalonga areas. If you are staying elsewhere, write to me and I’ll tell you what is possible.
Yes. The vehicle is for your group alone (2 to 6 people), and I guide and drive you myself for the whole day.
We explore Erbalonga, a small port with typical houses and a Genoese tower, and the Genoese watchtowers built to defend the coast against pirates. Depending on where you are staying, we also visit the medieval hilltop villages of Rogliano, Centuri or Nonza, and the Moulin Mattei viewpoint. The day includes a tasting at a Coteaux du Cap Corse winery and lunch on the pier at Macinaggio or Centuri. Each place is explained by a native Corsican guide.
One winery where you will taste more than 8 wines, including reds, whites, rosés and sweet Muscat wines.
No. I will take care of reservations but the cost is not included in the price. Expect around €30 per person. Please tell me about any dietary requirements when you book.
You pay on the day of the tour, in cash or by card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay or Google Pay).
