This three-hour walk with NO DIET CLUB turns Ajaccio into a tasting route. You start at STORIA DI SIA on Rue Général Campi and follow a guide through the old town, stopping at artisans and local-owned eateries to sample what the island does best.
The food leans on small producers and seasonal products: Corsican charcuterie and cheeses, ambrucciata, homemade focaccia, chestnut cake and homemade ice cream, plus other surprises. Vegetarians can join, and the operator adapts the tastings accordingly. Between bites, the guide threads in stories about Ajaccio's history and gives you a list of recommendations for the rest of your stay.
It suits travellers who want an edible introduction to Corsican gastronomy on their first day in town, and anyone who prefers eating where locals eat rather than hunting down addresses alone. The tour runs in English and French, with guides balancing commentary between the two. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so you make your own way to the meeting point.
A few practical points shape how this tour plays out, from the walking pace to what you actually taste.
Common issues. A few reviewers felt the portions were small and would have preferred more substantial tastings, so treat this as a sampling walk rather than a full meal, even though others found it hearty. The exact stops and dishes vary with the season and the artisans available, so you may not taste everything mentioned in past reviews. The tour depends on walking and on open shops and market stalls, which limits its suitability for anyone who struggles with a stroll through town.
The price covers the guided walking tour, all the shared tastings, and a list of the guide's restaurant and food recommendations. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included.
The meeting point is STORIA DI SIA at 1 Rue Général Campi, 20000 Ajaccio. There is no hotel pickup or drop-off with this tour. You make your own way to the start.
Yes, the operator states that vegetarians are welcome and that tastings may vary, so the route is adapted to the group. Corsican charcuterie features heavily for everyone else. The exact dishes depend on the season and the artisans visited.
The tour is offered in English and French. Reviews describe guides balancing commentary between both languages when the group is mixed. This works well according to reviewers, including one who joined a group in the other language.
You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. There is also a reserve-now-pay-later option that lets you hold a spot without paying immediately. Check the booking page for the exact terms that apply to your date.
The tour lasts three hours, though at least one reviewer reported it running a little over schedule. It is a walking tour through central Ajaccio, including the old town and possibly the market. Comfortable shoes are the main requirement.
