Feedbacks
The trip is just great! We have really enjoyed the ride around the cap corse. The ride from Centuri down the western coast of the cap was probably the most spectacular bike ride I’ve ever been on. Just beautiful!
Excellent customer service and the routes were well planned and the accommodations exceptional. Price is reasonable for the value received. love the convenience of not having to pack our own bikes.
Our stay went well, with superb weather and beautiful scenery. Between sea, sun and blue sky, we loved Corsica!
We've had a great cycle. We've enjoyed all the hotels, but especially Casa Rossa. Once again we have enjoyed our trip with Discover France, and hope to do more in the future. Your communication has been great. Thanks for an awesome trip.
