Elba guides

Napoleon once spent 300 days on the island of Elba. Granted, he was in exile - but ask a local and they'll tell you there are worse places to end up…like Waterloo. Just a short ferry ride from the Tuscan coast, Elba offers enough room to roam, but remains intimate enough that you'll feel you've stumbled onto a secret club. Take a private Elba tour and explore this delightful island through a local's eyes. Since the time of the Etruscans, Elba has been lauded for its high-quality iron and other minerals - but today's visitors today don't have to dig deep to find peace of mind. Portoferrio is dazzlingly beautiful, with buildings cascading down the hillside, so have your guide show you the most photogenic streets. Be sure to visit Marina di Campo, a bay filled with brightly-painted boats. To satisfy the bucket-and-spade brigade, head to Cavoli for non-stop family fun. Those happiest on two wheels will rejoice at Elba's network of cycling trails, with paths to suit every fitness level.
