Breathtaking! - Beautiful trip from Porto with breathtaking scenery and wonderful panoramas, the reserves of Scandola and Girolata, as well as the Calanches of Piana cannot be missed on a visit to Corsica. Special mention for our captain Sansone and the final sprint to Porto on the music of Highway to Hell really the icing on the cake. The only problem is that even on tours, in Corsica, the only language the French know is French, the French don't care about tourism.

Fantastic - Fantastic guide. Went into unimaginable spaces with incredible expertise and in a way that was always thrilling but never scary. Professional. Warm. With an adorable dog on the boat. Fantastic experience.

Awesome jet boat ride! - Awesome experience! Although it was cloudy and a bit rainy, it was still an exhilarating boat ride. We saw areas and beautiful scenery that we would not be able to see any other way. The driver didn't speak much English, but still tried and succeeded to get all his points across and tell us about what we were seeing andA some historic points to go with it. So fast so fun. Don't hesitate just do it!

Confirmation in French and unable to read - We did not experience this tour. We received our confirmation in French. We were on a cruise and when we got to the port in Corsica we found out that we needed to get to the excursion which was an hour away. Since we could not read our confirmation we had no idea. By the time we got someone to translate for us we had missed the tour. We are hoping that someone from TripAdvisor will read this review and refund our money.
