Nice captivates with an enchanting mix of Mediterranean glamour and sun-drenched beaches. Visitors can stroll along the famous Promenade des Anglais, explore the historic charm of Vieux Nice with its colorful alleyways and bustling markets, and savor delicious cuisine. Boasting a mild year-round climate, the city presents a perfect escape where French elegance meets natural beauty.
Regarded as one of the most exciting and iconic fixtures on the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship calendar, the Monaco E-Prix unfolds on the same legendary streets that host the Formula 1 Grand Prix. The event showcases the future of motorsport through cutting-edge electric technology, thrilling overtakes, and instant torque acceleration. Competitors battle through tight corners, steep gradients, and the famous harbor section in a spectacular display of skill and innovation. By combining sustainability with high performance, the Monaco E-Prix demonstrates that electric racing offers all the drama and glamour of its petrol-powered counterpart, making for an unmissable live experience.
Porto Venere is a stunning seaside village on the Ligurian coast of Italy, known for its colorful waterfront houses and medieval charm. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it boasts the impressive Church of San Pietro, perched on a rocky cliff overlooking the sea. The town’s historic castle and narrow, winding streets add to its timeless appeal. Nearby, the beautiful Palmaria Island offers scenic hiking trails and crystal-clear waters for swimming. Often considered a quieter alternative to Cinque Terre, Porto Venere is a hidden gem perfect for those seeking history, nature, and breathtaking coastal views.
From his villa in Portoferraio, Napoleon, the exiled Emperor of France, looked out over the waiting ships in the harbor and dreamed of returning to glory. Enjoy a local vineyard tour, and near Portoferraio, discover the remains of an ancient Etruscan civilization.
Sant'Amanza is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches on the Island of Corsica. Located on it's southern most tip, it is surrounded by limestone cliffs, granite rocks and scrub, with sands lapped by crystal clear azure waters. It is a popular location for water sports including kite surfing.
Bonifacio, a magnificent town in the far south of Corsica, is renowned for its spectacular medieval architecture, impressive limestone cliffs and picturesque harbor. Nestling atop steep cliffs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Bonifacio offers breathtaking views of the crystal-clear waters and neighboring islands.
Porticcio, on the southern shore of the Gulf of Ajaccio, is a charming seaside resort renowned for its fine sandy beaches and turquoise waters. Combining natural beauty with modern facilities, it offers water sports, lively walks, and tasty local specialties.
Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, is situated on the island's west coast and is a bustling port city with a relaxed atmosphere. It is known for its charming cobbled streets, relaxed Mediterranean atmosphere, and rich cultural heritage as the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte. Ajaccio offers a unique experience that combines history, nature, and gastronomy.
Napoleon once said that he could recognize his native island blindfolded thanks to the wonderful scent of the maquis. When you arrive in Corsica by sea, that's the first thing you notice. The second is the wild, mountainous landscape... and when you see a medieval citadel overlooking a marina, you know you've arrived in Calvi!

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
