3.Porticcio: Coastal Train Ticket with Audio Guide & Tastings

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 159 reviews · from $22Best value

Take a two-hour little-train ride south from Grosseto-Prugna along Corsica’s coast. A French audio guide explains the region, with a 15-minute stop at Coti-Chiavari for bay views. Finish with two glasses of wine per person, saucisson, biscuits, and olives.

“Après un mauvais démarrage avec un trajet impossible à l'heure où nous avions pourtant réservé, suivis d'une météo capricieuse, l'expérience s'est tout de même révélée top ! Un chauffeur de trin fier de ses racines, avec beaucoup d'humour qui n'a pas peur d'utiliser la macagne sur les pinzutus que nous sommes ! Il nous a partagé un bout de l'histoire de cette île de beauté et c'est ce qu'on recherche en faisant ces activités touristiques !”
