$3600 for Our Exclusive Tour

Your itinerary has been designed exclusively by Jean-Philippe with particular attention to every detail. Unlike many package deals, it isn't just a few prestigious rides tied together with filler: every single road you will ride has been carefully selected for its scenery or cultural interest and we work only with the best hotels and restaurants. Jean-Philippe will guide you personally, sharing his passion for the places, people, and culture and taking pride in ensuring that each individual on his tours receives personal attention and enjoys every moment. Other tours or guidebooks may lead you on famous routes, but with Native Planet Adventures, you will discover all the secret roads and cultural gems that will make your cycling and your vacation uniquely memorable.

Your vacation supports the work of Native Planet by benefiting indigenous peoples.

*Your tour begins in Ajaccio in the morning of October 09 and finishes the morning of October 17 in Corte.
*Cancelled flights/ferries, damaged/lost luggage, illness or accidents can happen. NP Adventures takes no responsibilities for such emergencies. We require that all of our participants purchase good travel health insurance and assistance; we will ask for a copy of your policy prior to beginning the tour.
*With all the food we serve, most cyclists have no need for sport supplements. However, if you are used to a particular sport drinks, gel or bar, we recommend that you bring it on your tour.
*The support vehicle can transport some participants and their bikes when needed (mechanical /health problems), but not all of them at once. This tour will adhere to its itinerary and all participants are expected to be able to ride the minimum distance/elevation shown in our table. If you prefer a tour with optional rest days, our Dordogne or Alps tour might suit you better.
*If you are pleased with the services of your guide and/or assistant guide/driver, a tip at the end of the tour is a good way to show your appreciation. In hotels/restaurants, tips are not mandatory but tips are always appreciated for outstanding service.
