About this trip

Journey through three of the Mediterranean’s most captivating islands—Corsica, Sardinia, and Malta—on this richly layered exploration of history, landscapes, and living traditions. From dramatic coastlines and UNESCO-protected nature reserves to ancient archaeological sites and vibrant port cities, the journey blends natural beauty with deep cultural discovery.

The tours in Spring are one day longer than the Fall tours as we attend the traditional festival of San Efisio, in Cagliari, Sardinia.

Travel by ferry, private vehicle, and short flights as you explore medieval citadels, seaside villages, and historic town centers. Along the way, expert local guides bring each destination to life, while a balanced pace allows time for independent exploration, local flavors, and memorable Mediterranean moments.

We are fortunate to have an amazing guide who also drives accompany us on the tour through Corsica and Sardinia. There are very few guides who are licensed to do both countries and few who guide and drive. We must confirm him or release him by mid November so he can accept other jobs.Therefore, stated Price is valid until November 22, 2026. The price will increase after this date if we do not have the required number of people as we then have to hire a guide and separate driver for each country.

This tour is offered annually on the same dates. To book this tour click "See Availability." A calendar pops up. Click the date of the tour to continue to the booking page.

Trip pricing is contingent upon a minimum of six participants and is subject to adjustment should this minimum not be met.
