No Diet Club Food Tour

Overview

This is a walking food tour of Ajaccio built around tastings rather than a single restaurant meal. The operator, No Diet Club, runs it in English and French over roughly 3 hours, with more than six sweet and savoury stops along the way. Lunch is included in the sense that the tastings together amount to a meal, so the practical advice from past guests is simple: arrive hungry.

The walk starts at STORIA DI SIA, 1 Rue Général Campi, at 11:00 and finishes back at the same point. Along the route the guide mixes food with commentary on the city and on Corsican produce. Reviews are largely positive about the combination. Several travellers described the experience as casual and intimate, with a maximum of 10 travellers per group, and many praised guides who knew the city well and clearly loved the island's food.

It suits visitors who want an easy introduction to Ajaccio and to Corsican cuisine in one outing. The route is on foot, near public transport, and the operator lists it as wheelchair and pushchair accessible. Travellers hoping for a deep history lesson should temper expectations: while many reviewers learned plenty, a couple felt the cultural commentary was thin or lost in translation.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will help you get the most out of the afternoon.

• Come Hungry. The tour includes more than six tastings, sweet and savoury, and these serve as lunch. One reviewer's blunt advice was not to eat beforehand, and that is worth taking.
• Language. The tour runs in English and French. A couple of travellers reported language barriers that left them missing some of the commentary.
• Small Group. Group size is capped at 10 travellers. Several reviewers described the feel as intimate and casual, with friendly conversation along the way.
• Easy Walking. This is a leisurely walking tour of the town rather than a hike. The listing describes it as wheelchair and pushchair accessible, with transport along the route accessible too.
• Corsican Produce. One reviewer appreciated that all the foods tasted on their tour, ice cream included, were Corsican sourced. Several others said they learned a lot about Corsican produce and cuisine along the way.
• Guides Rotate. Past groups have been led by several different guides, many of them praised for warmth and local knowledge. Reviews mention guides by name, so any specific host may differ from those a friend recommends.

Common issues. The main complaints are about communication rather than food. One reviewer with a language barrier said they never learned why each dish was presented or its link to Corsica, and another wanted more background on the area. The listing also notes that confirmation can take up to 48 hours and depends on availability, so the booking is not instant. Cancel at least 24 hours before the 11:00 start for a full refund; later cancellations receive nothing.
