Hello everyone, My name is Andreea and I am a tour guide on the island of Corsica since 2017. I discovered this Mediterranean island in 2013 when I started to study at the University of Corsica. I immediately fell in love with this beautiful place and decided to make it my home. I have always been passionate about discovering places, people and their culture, and Corsica offered me exactly what I was looking for: extraordinary natural places, mountains and sea at an unimaginable proximity, welcoming people with a very rich history and culture, Mediterranean gastronomy, local cooking and wines "spiced" with countless mountain dishes, all in short everything that I needed for a healthy lifestyle. Being a tour guide in Corsica is by far the greatest things for me because it comes verry naturally for me to share my enthusiasm, the joy of living on this extraordinary island and all the knowledge that I have acquired. It is one of those few places offering that very special something which we're all seeking during our holidays, whether we want to relax or test our limits and have unforgettable memories. Corsica is a place to discover in all seasons and I consider myself lucky to be able to live here and to have the opportunity to share with you the best of what I have experienced so far working as a local tour guide. All my tours can be customized upon request please feel free to contact me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. I can also cover Sardinia and Tuscany and may organise multiple day tours and excursions including island hopping, transfers and accommodation on request for bespoke tours.
