A stroll with Ben.

5.00Benjamin was punctual and polite and spoke good English. He took care to ask us about our interests and he delivered on what we asked for. He gave us both general facts about Bastia and Corsica (economy, history, demographics, politics, plant and animal life) and shared his personal experiences and opinions. He packed a lot into the two hours and even overran a little, with our agreement. A charming (and probably under-valued!) guide.

5.00We loved this walking tour! Ben was wonderful, he showed us the best that Bastia had to offer and tailored the tour to what we were hoping for (we love explore Europe's churches). We had a great time and would highly recommend this to anyone looking to have a wonderful time in Bastia!

5.00It was truly special to walk the streets of Bastia with a real local. Jennifer was authentic and fantastic. Not a “touristy” tour at all. Kind of felt like we were with a friend of a friend who was happy to show us around her city. We highly recommend this if you’re ready for a tour without the headphones!

5.00Ludovic was a lively and interesting guide. We had a nice morning with him and learned a lot about Bastia and Corsica and the languages which interest us. We had a fun surprise at the end, visiting a local vermouth distillery, where we had a lovely tasting in their beautiful shop.

5.00Our guide, Ludo, was great! He knows the city like the back of his hand and has a lot of great insights. He took us to a variety of interesting places and his interest in history really gave us an understanding of the area and it's people. In addition, Ludo shared about life in Bastia, which was fascinating. He walked and drove us to great places. I had no idea, Corsica was so beautiful! His vehicle was immaculate and Ludo was a very courteous driver. We felt safe and well taken care of at all times. Taking a tour can feel awkward but Ludo was friendly and approachable and we felt comfortable enough to ask him anything. By the end of the day we felt we had been welcomed into a new world and made a new friend! We truly enjoyed our tour of Bastia and would definitely encourage folks to give this tour a try!
