Stunning scenery
Corsica was more mountainous and greener than expected. A good range of walks. Not too challenging for regular hill walkers and we considered it well pitched as moderate. The hotel is basic but functional and the dinners were very tasty. Enjoyed using trains to get to the start of most of our walks.
Most Inspirational Moment
The scenery!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tom was well informed, calm, encouraging and good at keeping the group together, particularly when we had different walking paces within the group.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take good walking shoes/boots, a waterproof jacket/rain poncho and a jar of chutney/mustard to spice up the filled baguettes for the packed lunches.

Magical island
Beautiful forest and streams, charming towns and a landscape steeped in history. One of the best hikes I’ve done.
Most Inspirational Moment
Walking above the small village of Vivario with views of Monte D’Oro was a personal favourite.
Thoughts on Group Leader
The group leader was energetic and engaging. Kept things informal.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Relax, smell the pines and put your feet in the streams. This is the trip to have fun and not be too formal. Watch out for the mid-summer heat though and take enough water.

Thoughts on Group Leader
Roberta was great as she had been for us on the Amafi coast hike a few years ago
Advice for Potential Travellers
The hike is more difficult than other hikes i have taken. It is rated as a 3 but parts of it are more difficult than this has been on other hikes rated a 3. A 3 is described as being acceptable for people with no hiking experience. I disagree that this would be something for people with no hiking experience.

Beautiful scenery and views in the mountains .
Hotel: my room was a little ‘tired’. Evening meals were mostly tasty and creative. The chef was able to accommodate a gluten free choice. Choice of Packed lunches and fruit was available, and although it would have been good to have been offered cake as well😂
The walks each day were very interesting and at times were challenging underfoot and the ascents, for me personally were challenging. Use of local train network was very advantageous.
Most Inspirational Moment
The last day which was an exceptionally challenging walk with steep ascents, some needing me to use some scrambling in places. The views, terrain, and waterfalls were all worth all the effort.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Very knowledgeable re Corsican culture, traditions, and history.
Punctual, friendly and informative.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I was pleased I had put in some training to improve my level of fitness.
Comfortable waterproof walking boots are essential.

Excellent walking holiday
Corsica was much more mountainous and greener than we had expected. The walks were through beautiful countryside and it was great fun using the local railway to start/end some of the walks. Most of the paths were good, but some were quite steep and one had been eradicated by the wild pigs (but the guide found the path again!) We were lucky to have sunny weather all week, so all planned walks were achievable, though some may not have been possible if it had been wet.

Reaching the Richjusa Gorge after bouldering up the river - not suitable for everyone!

Bathing in the beautiful clear blue waters of the rivers to relieve the heat of the day...so - very luckily - this moment happened every day we walked.

He ( Alejandro) was excellent - capable and informed and fun. Sensible (safe) without being patrician. He was perfect for the job.
