Great trip to visit this beautiful stretch of coastline. High speed boat trip there and back a real thrill and an unexpected bonus, but not for the faint hearted!

They were not helpful in that I couldn’t get from Port ofPprtofino to them so did not go!! No where did we see how far
s_P, Dec 2024
Didn’t get there because didn’t say how far away they were from Portofino and they didn’t help me locate where to go.
They weren’t easy to contact either.

Hello,
We are sorry if you were unable to take your cruise.
However, we only depart from Sagone or Cargèse, certainly not from Portofino, or Ajaccio or other.
You made a mistake when making your reservation, when you contacted us we told you that we were 45 minutes from Ajaccio.
I find it not very honest to put such a comment when you have booked a sea trip by choosing the wrong port of departure.
I hope that you will still have pleasant memories of your stay in Corsica.
Cordially

Terrible Tour Company
Dorothy_S, Dec 2024
Tour would never contact me. I started 8 days prior. I heard from them AFTER they charged my Credit Card. I could not take the tour because our cruise port was 45 minutes from the tour and IMPOSSIBLE to be on time. Asking for a refund. Still no response.
