Journey through some of the Mediterranean’s most captivating destinations—Corsica and Sardinia—on this richly layered exploration of history, landscapes, and living traditions. From dramatic coastlines and protected natural areas 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 through a thoughtfully paced itinerary that combines guided sightseeing with time to explore independently. Expert local guides bring each destination to life, while ample opportunities to enjoy local cuisine, regional flavors, and everyday moments create a balanced and rewarding travel experience.
There are very few licensed guides willing to also drive. We are so fortunate to have an amazing guide who will guide the tour of both countries. However we need to confirm him by mid November or free him to accept other jobs. Therefore: Price stated is valid only until November 22, 2026. For bookings after this date there will be a price increase (amount TBD) as then we will need to hire 2 separate guides and drivers.
Trip pricing is contingent upon a minimum of six (6) participants and is subject to adjustment should this minimum not be met.
