F.A.Q.
The full-day tour lasts about 7 hours, including a lunch stop. I collect you at your door at 9:30 or 10 am and bring you back at the end of the day.
I offer door-to-door pickup in the Porto Vecchio, Bonifacio and Figari 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 spend the day in one of South Corsica’s two historic towns. In Bonifacio, we explore the old town and citadel perched on limestone cliffs above the Mediterranean. In Sartène, known as the most Corsican of Corsican towns, we walk its cobbled streets and old quarters. The day also includes a tasting at a South Corsican winery and lunch in a restaurant. Each place is explained by a native Corsican guide.
The visit depends on where I pick you up so your day brings a place you haven’t seen yet.
Would you like to see both in one day? Contact me and I’ll build a bespoke tour around your wishes.
One winery where you will taste more than 8 wines, including reds, whites, rosés and sweet Muscat wines.
